Publisher's Synopsis
The definitive case for radically rethinking humanity's relationship with other animals - for the good of us all.
'The book that had the most impact on me' JANE GOODALL
'Probably the single most influential document in the history of ... animal welfare' GUARDIAN
In 1975, Animal Liberation started a global movement when it uncovered the horrific abuse of animals in factory farms and laboratories, showing the practices to be morally indefensible. In the decades since, science has vindicated Peter Singer's arguments about animal sentience, plant-based diets have become mainstream, and this landmark book has changed millions of minds.
And yet, for animals, the situation now is more dire than ever.
Fully rewritten for the 21st century, Animal Liberation Now explores these developments and refines its argument to consider the pressing problems of today, such as meat consumption on the climate emergency and the spread of lethal new viruses. A book of galvanising power and urgent importance, it urges us to radically rethink our relationship with animals - for the good of all life on earth.
