The platform for the continuing struggle. In this volume, Peter Singer has brought together articles and essays by some of the leading proponents of animal rights- philosophers, biologists, activists, and lobbyist. Here you will find firsthand accounts of the stories that have made headlines around the world- the plight of the Silver Springs laboratory monkeys, the freezing of the Island of the Dragon dolphins, the successful campaigns against the Draize and LD50 tests. Also examined are the rapid extinction of species and the cruel confinement of animals in farm factories and zoos. Bracketing these essays are Singer's prologue and epilogue, which put the whole movement into historical perspective as a significant step in the development of human ethics.
