In this revised edition, he brings together new essays by philosophers and activists, chronicling new thoughts on animal suffering, reassessing the question of personhood, and highlighting tales of effective advocacy. In addition, he lays out ''Ten Tips for Activists'', taking the reader beyond ethical theory and into the day-to-day campaigns for animal rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Paul McCartney once said that if slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian. This book continues Peter Singer's important, urgent project of turning these walls, one by one, to glass. The essays alert us to the holocaust that continues in farms and laboratories; a holocaust that most people ignore - not because they are bad people, but, perhaps, because the horror of what we do to animals is too big to contemplate.... The wonderful essays in this book remind us that any form of humanism must respect all sentient beings, and that a culture that can create workers who can bear listening to the screams of the \"animals\" they kill ... and that can also create people who are prepared to look the other way and enjoy the spoils of the whole endeavour - is a culture that is not only cruel and deluded, but well primed for the next human holocaust.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e—\u003cb\u003eThe Independent on Sunday\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn Defense of Animals:\u003c\/b\u003e . \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Second Wave\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreface\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Singer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One The Ideas\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Utilitarianism and Animals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGaverick Matheny.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Scientific Basis for Assessing Suffering in Animals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMarian Stamp Dawkins.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 The Animal Debate: A Re-Examination.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePaola Cavalieri.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 On the Question of Personhood Beyond Homo sapiens.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDavid DeGrazia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Religion and Animals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePaul Waldau.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two The Problems\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Speciesism in the Laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRichard Ryder.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Brave New Farm?.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJim Mason and Mary Finelli.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Outlawed in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eClare Druce and Philip Lymbery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Against Zoos.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDale Jamieson.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 To Eat the Laughing Animal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDale Peterson.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Three Activists and Their Strategies\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 How Austria Achieved a Historic Breakthrough for Animals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMartin Balluch.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Butcher Knives into Pruning Hooks: Doing Civil Disobedience for Animals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePelle Strindlund.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Opening Cages, Opening Eyes: An Investigation and Open Rescue at an Egg Factory Farm.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMiyun Park.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Living and Working in Defense of Animals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMatt Ball.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Effective Advocacy: Stealing From the Corporate Playbook.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBruce Friedrich.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Moving the Media: From Foe, or Indifferent Stranger, to Friend Karen Dawn.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 The CEO as Animal Activist: John Mackey and Whole Foods.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJohn Mackey, Karen Dawn and Lauren Ornelas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 Ten Points for Activists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHenry Spira and Peter Singer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Final Word\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePeter Singer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFurther Reading, Useful Organizations\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53515455922519,"sku":"9780631138969","price":35.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/in-defense-of-animals-9780631138969","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
