Animal Liberation (Peter Singer)

"Animal Liberation" by Peter Singer is a foundational work advocating for the ethical treatment of animals. Singer argues that suffering is morally significant, regardless of species, and calls for humans to extend empathy and moral consideration to animals. He challenges practices like factory farming, animal testing, and entertainment animals, urging a shift toward minimizing harm and promoting animal rights. The book emphasizes that species alone shouldn't determine moral value, promoting a more compassionate, inclusive approach to how humans interact with animals based on their capacity to suffer.
