About this listen

Since its original publication in 1975, Animal Liberation has awakened millions of people to the existence of "speciesism"—our systematic disregard of nonhuman animals—inspiring a worldwide movement to transform our attitudes to animals and eliminate the cruelty we inflict on them. In Animal Liberation Now, Singer exposes the chilling realities of today's "factory farms" and product-testing procedures, destroying the spurious justifications behind them and showing us just how woefully we have been misled.

Now, for the first time since its original publication, Singer returns to the major arguments and examples and brings us to the current moment. This edition, revised from top to bottom, covers important reforms in the European Union, and now in various US states, but on the flip side, Singer shows us the impact of the huge expansion of factory farming due to the exploding demand for animal products in China. Further, meat consumption is taking a toll on the environment, and factory farms pose a profound risk for spreading new viruses even worse than COVID-19.

Animal Liberation Now includes alternatives to what has become a profound environmental and social as well as moral issue. An important and persuasive appeal to conscience, fairness, decency, and justice, it is essential listening for the supporter and the skeptic alike.

Peter singer changed me from skeptic to believer by the end of chapter 1. The inhumane treatment of animals in factory farms and in experiments has been long talked about, but Singer’s moral case for why that should matter so much is what sets him apart. His air tight moral philosophy absolutely compelled me to stop eating factory farmed meat and dairy. Thank you, Peter, for all you have done for the animal rights movement. Very likely the most pressing issue of our time.

This updated edition of the best book defending animal welfare is (sadly) much needed in 2023. The 2002 edition changed my life and the 2023 is even better. It’s a must read for everyone.

I consider this book is a must read, as it tackles one of the most important questions about ethics: whom should we consider in our moral system? all humans? only some of them? other animals too? plants too? intelligent machines too?

Why?

The book starts by providing rational arguments against harmful exploitation of non-human animals. I have friends, family, and other acquaintances who graduated in philosophy. Not only me, but also many of them got convinced by these arguments. Indeed, I never met anyone who could convincingly argue against the sharp and exhaustive stance of this book.

A book that was ahead of its time and is still an equally important one that everyone should read/listen to.

This book gives a conscionable person twinges of guilt about how it perceives and treats animals. It is an inspiration to meld the endless reasons of treating animals compassionately and actually doing something about - living one’s life in line with that thinking. “Animal Liberation” outlines and digs deeply into every aspect of our lives that are touched by animals’ mistreatment. Start today! Change what we do, buy and consume to liberate animals. We are civilized! Show it!

It’s time for animal rights

A compelling argument to take the pain and suffering of animals seriously—and as a result, stop eating them, testing on them, experimenting on them, factory farming them, and more. If you approach this book with an open mind and take its arguments seriously, you’ll be hard pressed the rationalize another meal from an animal corpse. Narration was all great, loved the Australian author being paired with a great Australian reader.

I had to stop reading when it became evident that Singer's moral argument against animal murder lay almost entirely in a deeply offensive and disturbing view of the moral value of the severely disabled. I would have never purchased this audiobook had I understood this.
