Since its original publication in 1975, this groundbreaking work 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 \u003cem\u003eAnimal Liberation Now\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, 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 U.S. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnimal Liberation Now\u003c\/em\u003e includes alternatives to what has become a profound environmental and social as well as moral issue.
