 Rating: - Animal Liberation - a phenomenal book!Quite simply this book changed my life. I have never read anything like it. Exceptional, important, morally bang on, inspirational - as they say, the Bible of the movement. Buy it! And buy one for all your friends and family while you're at it too. You won't look back. Rating: - All politicians AND vets in pharmaceutical and military industry should read this...Veterany students and politicians should read this book before they start torturing animals or make any political statement. The British Prime Minister -while allowing military tests on primates and other experiments at American funded research centres- has not read this book. The Bishops of Canterbury and Westminster have not read this book - they allow military torture of primates. The Oxford professors have not read this book - they have no moral conscience, it's not in their "package". Bush has not read this book - if he ever read a book. If they had read this book ... they would have been much better humans. Now they are only primitive greedy human beings without any moral conscience. How do you expect any of them to respect human ... Read More: Rating: - Most important and powerful book I've ever read.It makes people feel bad for the disgraceful animals without appealing or look so emotional. He uses only reasons and the most powerful arguments I´ve seen somebody defending. I've already became a vegetarian before reading it, but the book gave me the perfect reasons to keep on this diet for the rest of my life. Singer is a guy blessed with intelligence and power of convinciment. Even a slaughterhouse owner should agree with 90% which is in the book. Some try to dismiss Singer as a nazi, who would defend testing in disabled people or orphan babies than in pigs or dogs. Those people or have bad intentions or don´t have a clue, cause what Singer does is exactly the other way, claiming the animals should have ... Read More: Rating: - One of the toughest-to-argue with books I've ever readI read this book partly out of curiosity and partly out of a wish to confront a position that I found challenging to my own hazy sense of ethics. Specifically, I love cooking but was beginning to wonder if I didn't eat more meat than was really a good idea. The fundamental insight I got from Singer's book is that the human tendency to elevate the interests of our species over those of other species is an entirely irrational prejudice, with no authority other than tradition. This is not to say that the interests of other species are always to be preferred to our own - that would also be illogical. But they must be taken into consideration, if our ethics are to have any rationality whatsoever. As far as I'm concerned, this ... Read More: Rating: - Everybody should read this bookThis book shows how we contribute to cruelty toward animals if we continue eating meat from industrial production, don't boycott cosmetics that test on animals and live in ignorance. Peter Singer beat everybody with his ethical arguments. I became vegetarian after reading it. |
