Singer's "Animal Liberation"

Peter Singer’s "Animal Liberation" argues that animals are capable of suffering and have interests similar to humans. He advocates for extending moral consideration to animals, challenging practices like factory farming and animal experimentation that cause unnecessary harm. Singer emphasizes that the capacity to feel pain and pleasure, not intelligence or species membership, should determine moral concern. By promoting ethical treatment and reducing unnecessary animal suffering, his work has significantly influenced animal rights and welfare debates, encouraging society to reconsider how humans use and value animals in various industries.
