The landmark book that opened the world's eyes to the suffering
inflicted by humans on other animals, now fully rewritten and
entirely updated to reflect the pressing problems of today. 'An
extraordinary book which has had extraordinary effects ... It
galvanised a generation into action' Independent on Sunday *One of
the 100 all-time best non-fiction books* (TIME magazine) WITH AN
INTRODUCTION BY YUVAL NOAH HARARI ____ Animal Liberation started a
worldwide movement when it revealed the abuse of animals in factory
farms and laboratories. It demonstrated that these and other
practices were the cause of appalling and unnecessary suffering and
therefore morally indefensible. In the fifty years since, science
has further vindicated Peter Singer's arguments about animal
sentience, vegetarianism has become widespread, and the book has
helped change the minds of millions. But the situation for animals
has in many ways grown worse. Despite improvements in animal
welfare in some regions - brought about in large part by this book
- in many others the scale of their abuse has reached staggering
new depths. This revised edition, of which about two-thirds is
entirely new, documents these and other developments, such as the
impact of meat consumption on climate and the spread of dangerous
new viruses. It refines its arguments in light of new evidence,
equips the reader with fresh tools and advice, and shows us all the
road ahead. The result, Animal Liberation Now, is a book of
galvanising power, relevance and importance. ____ 'Raises ethical
questions that every human being should take to heart' Yuval Noah
Harari 'One the most important books of the last 100 years. It
expands our moral horizons beyond our own species' Ecologist 'The
indispensable foundational text for the movement, new and updated.
Animal Liberation Now is written with the honesty and philosophical
depth characteristic of all of Singer's work' J. M. Coetzee, Winner
of the Nobel Prize in Literature, author of The Lives of Animals
and Disgrace 'A reasoned plea for the humane treatment of animals
that galvanised the animal-rights movement the way the Rachel
Carson's Silent Spring drew activists to environmentalism' The New
York Times 'If I have to pick the book that had the most impact on
me, I would say Peter Singer's Animal Liberation, since I instantly
became a vegetarian after reading it' Jane Goodall 'Probably the
single most influential document in the history of ... animal
welfare' Guardian
