The Human Use of Animals by Peter Singer

"The Human Use of Animals" by Peter Singer explores the ethical treatment of animals, challenging traditional views that prioritize human needs. Singer argues that animals can experience suffering and pleasure similar to humans, and therefore, their interests should be considered equally. He advocates for reducing animal suffering in food production, research, and other areas, promoting a utilitarian perspective that seeks the greatest good for all affected beings. The book encourages us to rethink assumptions about human superiority and to adopt more compassionate, ethically responsible practices towards animals.
