Why read it?

2 authors picked Animal Liberation Now as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Are things getting better or worse for farmed animals? I greatly appreciate the honesty of Peter Singer’s update to his 1975 classic. His dream was to inspire a movement that would end cruel “factory farming” by boycotting its products. And he did inspire a movement—but the industry has only got bigger, more intensive, more brutal, more ruthless.

It’s wrecking our environment, our health, and other animals’ lives all at once. The enemy was tougher to beat than he thought. Where do we go from here if we care about other animals? I think this book is a really powerful place…

The classic and most influential book on Animal Welfare update. Peter is regarded as the father of Animal Welfare, and his influence has been exceptional. This book presents a detailed account of Industrial animal food production. Peter provides an understanding of Industrial Farm Animal Production with details that provide clarity.
