Animal Liberation: the Definitive Classic of the Animal Movement Pdf FREE ANIMAL LIBERATION: THE DEFINITIVE CLASSIC OF THE ANIMAL MOVEMENT PDF Decamp Professor of Bioethics Peter Singer | 311 pages | 01 Mar 2009 | HarperCollins Publishers Inc | 9780061711305 | English | New York, NY, United States Animal Liberation: The Definitive Classic of the Animal Movement - Peter Singer - Google книги Arguing that all beings capable of suffering deserve equal consideration, Singer contends that the only justifiable treatment of animals is that which maximizes good and minimizes suffering. A moral wake-up call from one of the most influential and controversial ethicists of our time, Animal Liberation tackles an emotionally charged social issue with a compelling rational argument in a rousing and riveting read. A pioneering work which places animal treatment by people withing the ambit of human ethical behaviour. Whoever else deals with this subject, Peter Singer will always be the first philosopher to have confronted, analysed and resolved many of the key arguments. In the past, I can only think of St Francis of Assisi as a someone of significance who considered how non-human animals should be treated. Singer takes it to the next level which demands we change how we conduct ourselves. In the first half of the book, Singer opens our eyes in regards to how we treat the staggering majority of animals today. In the the second half, he shows us the way to a more ethical life. All with overwhelming evidence, using reason, logic, and unbiased scientific reference. One of the more important books in my life, insofar as it inspired me to switch from eating meat to being a pescatarian. I read this book for some background research. A philosopher with a specialty in ethics, Singer discusses "specieism" prejudice toward non- human animals and offers vivid accounts of its most gruesome by-products--chilling, horrific Animal Liberation: The Definitive Classic of the Animal Movement of animals victimized in military, scientific, and consumer product research, and the gut-wrenching realities of factory farming. Singer makes a well-reasoned, compelling argument for vegetarianism and veganism, but I'm not yet ready to make that leap. Enlightening, provocative, troubling, and consciousness-raising. One of the most influential books of my life. Totally reinforced my decision to become a vegetarian many years before. Singer is without doubt one of the great minds of our generation. This book had a pivotal influence on my life. It pushed me over the edge to become a vegetarian. The author's argument here is not really "utilitarian. A seminal book that stakes out an important issue of great relevance to anyone who wants to bring her conduct in line with defensible principles. It does a god job at identifying and Animal Liberation: The Definitive Classic of the Animal Movement two specific domains in which our treatment of animals is not what most people think we do to them worst things than we think for reasons that are less necessary than we think. It is an excellent book as a source of political inspiration. Philosophically, however, it is rather underdeveloped. This is an interesting and thoughtful book about how animals are treated and how they should be treated. Singer Animal Liberation: The Definitive Classic of the Animal Movement a considerable amount of research for this book and put a great deal of thought into his arguments. Not surprisingly, he arrives at a unique point of view that does not always coincide with the views of mainstream animal rights adherents. If anything, this fact will make this book even more interesting to people interested in the rights or welfare of animals. The first section of the book presents his overall argument that animals should be treated much better than they currently are by western society. The presentation is logical and slightly abstract. It will appeal to independent thinkers who find logic persuasive. However, readers who feel animals are so fundamentally different from humans that they need not be included in any system of ethics that governs human behavior will not find Singer's arguments at all convincing. To the extent that most readers feel this way, Singer is preaching to the choir. The second section of the book describes some of the many ways that our society horribly mistreats animals. Singer explicitly tries to present the concrete facts without unduly appealing to the reader emotionally. He wants the reader to be persuaded on an intellectual level. However, the uninformed reader will Animal Liberation: The Definitive Classic of the Animal Movement find this section of the book disturbing, and may feel Singer has failed in his attempt to merely present the facts. I do have one criticism of Singer's presentation of the abuses of animals. Although I think Singer is right that most experiments on animals are not justified by the knowledge if any that is gained, I feel that Singer unfairly characterizes the goals of many experiments. For example, in the various experiments on how being separated from their mothers affects the emotional health of monkeys, Singer says the point is merely to determine whether the monkeys are adversely affected. He points out that this is Animal Liberation: The Definitive Classic of the Animal Movement from historical observation. He totally ignores the controlled nature of the experiments and the specific conclusions that experimenters are able to draw from them. Similarly, Singer characterizes basic scientific terminology as euphemisms for animal abuse and tools for indoctrination of unsuspecting students. It is certainly fair to argue that the ends do not justify the means and that educators are disingenuous, but Singer ought to do so without resorting to straw men. In the next section Singer discusses some of the implications of his ideas for everyday behavior. These are not quite what you'd expect from a book that is sometimes described as the bible of the animals rights movement. Here Singer also acknowledges the limitations of his arguments and admits that some of his conclusions are hard to swallow. The next section of the book is a history of the ethics of animal treatment in Western civilization. It is a fascinating dissection of the fallacies and limitations of a variety of thinkers throughout history. Finally, Singer includes a little section detailing progress that has been made since first publication. He also discusses some of the questions and attacks that any animal rights advocate is sure to encounter on a daily basis. It is nice for a somewhat depressing book to end on an optimistic note and with sound practical advice. Classic book. I've heard it referred to as the "bible of the animal rights movement. We need to consume grains and not feed them to protien-on- the-hoof. Eating meat is an affront to starving humans on our planet, and a habit that demonstrates the attitude of indifference.

For this third edition, the author has revised and updated all the chapters and added a new chapter addressing climate change, one of the most important ethical chal- lenges of our generation. Some of the questions discussed in this book concern our daily lives. Is it ethical to buy luxuries when others do not have enough to eat? Should we buy meat produced from intensively reared animals? Am I doing something wrong if my carbon footprint is above the global average? Other questions confront us as concerned citizens: equality and discrimination on the grounds of race or sex; abortion, the use of embryos for research, and euthanasia; political violence and terrorism; and the preservation of our planet’s environment. This book’s lucid style and provocative arguments make it an ideal text for university courses and for anyone willing to think about how she or he ought to live. Peter Singer is currently Ira W.

ARTICLE Bringing Animal Protection Legislation Into Line With its Purported Purposes: A Proposal for Equality Amongst Non-Human Animals JANE KOTZMANN* & GISELA NIP† The United States has a strong history of enacting laws to pro- tect animals from the pain and suffering inflicted by humans. In- deed, the passage of the Massachusetts’ Body of Liberties in 1641 made it the first country in the world to pass such laws. Neverthe- less, contemporary animal protection laws in all jurisdictions of the United States are limited in their ability to adequately realize their primary purpose of protecting animals from unnecessary or unjus- tifiable pain and suffering.

Sixty-three years later when David Foster Wallace asked us to consider the lobster2 for ostensibly similar reasons, the investigation quickly abandoned the gustatory and took a turn toward the philosophical and ethical. In that essay, originally published in Gourmet magazine, Wallace challenges us to think deeply about the troubling ethical questions raised by the issue of lobster pain and our moral (mis)treatment of these friendly crustaceans. Since the publication of that essay, research on nonhuman animal sentience has exploded.

We review the main methods used to slaughter the major decapod crustaceans, highlighting problems posed by each method for animal welfare. The aim is to identify methods that are the least likely to cause suffering. These methods can then be recommended, whereas other methods that are more likely to cause suffering may be banned. We thus request changes in the legal status of this group of animals, to protect them from slaughter techniques that are not viewed as being acceptable. Abstract: Vast numbers of crustaceans are produced by aquaculture and caught in fisheries to Citation: Conte, F.; Voslarova, E.; meet the increasing demand for seafood and freshwater crustaceans.

  • The Core Argument for Veganism
    Philosophia (2015) 43:271–290 DOI 10.1007/s11406-015-9595-5 The Core Argument for Veganism Stijn Bruers1 Received: 11 November 2014 /Revised: 16 March 2015 /Accepted: 23 March 2015 / Published online: 4 April 2015 # Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015 Abstract This article presents an argument for veganism, using a formal-axiomatic approach: a list of twenty axioms (basic definitions, normative assumptions and empirical facts) are explicitly stated. These axioms are all necessary conditions to derive the conclusion that veganism is a moral duty. The presented argument is a minimalist or core argument for veganism, because it is as parsimonious as possible, using the weakest conditions, the narrowest definitions, the most reliable empirical facts and the minimal assumptions necessary to reach the conclusion. If someone does not accept the conclu- sion, logical consistency requires that s/he should be able to point at axiom(s) on which s/ he disagrees. The argument exposes hidden assumptions and provides a framework for an overview of the philosophical literature on animal rights and vegetarianism / veganism. Keywords Veganism . Speciesism . Animal ethics . Sentience Is veganism a moral duty? This article is an attempt to present a most logical argument for veganism,1 using a formal-axiomatic approach: all axioms (premises such as basic definitions, normative assumptions and empirical facts), as well as the logical steps from those axioms to the conclusions, will be stated as explicitly as possible. This axiomatic approach has three advantages. First, it allows us to directly and efficiently study the question: if people want to continue eating animal products, which of the assumptions do they reject? Everyone who wants to justify the consumption of animal products should be able to indicate at least one of the axioms that s/he rejects.
