IN DEFENSE OF ANIMALS:
A Portrait of Peter Singer

28 minutes/Grades 9-Adult

Produced by Julie Akeret

What Martin Luther King was to civil rights and Gloria Steinem
to women's lib, Australian philosopher Peter Singer is to the
animal rights movement. This is an excellent summation of both the
philosophical and practical arguments that underpin one of the
fastest growing political movements in this country and the world.
According to Singer, the heart of the argument lies in the
recognition that we should not discount the pain and suffering of
another just because the being that is suffering is not human.
Many believe this is a critical advance in the evolution of our
moral thinking, and it is certainly time for all of us to
familiarize ourselves with the arguments of the animal rights
movement, arguments that are too frequently trivialized or
deliberately misrepresented.With Study Guide
