Animal Liberation Now

Peter Singer's book Animal Liberation, published in 1975, opened the world's eyes to the suffering inflicted by humans on other animals. He has now fully rewritten and entirely updated the book, to reflect the problems of today's society.

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.

Singer covers important reforms in the European Union and in various U.S. states, but Singer also demonstrates the impact of the huge expansion of factory farming due to the exploding demand for animal products. Further, meat consumption is taking a toll on the environment, and factory farms pose a profound risk for spreading new viruses.
