THE UPDATED CLASSIC OF THE ANIMAL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, NOW WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY YUVAL NOAH HARARI. This foundational text has remained relevant for nearly 50 years, inspiring a global movement against "speciesism"—the systematic disregard for nonhuman animals. Since its original publication in 1975, it has awakened millions to the cruelty inflicted on animals, leading to significant changes in attitudes and practices. In this updated edition, the author exposes the grim realities of modern "factory farms" and product-testing procedures, dismantling the false justifications that have allowed these practices to persist. For the first time since its inception, the author revisits key arguments and examples, addressing current issues such as reforms in the European Union and various U.S. states, while also highlighting the alarming growth of factory farming driven by rising demand in China. The environmental impact of meat consumption and the potential for factory farms to spread new viruses, even worse than COVID-19, are also discussed. This revised edition presents alternatives to the current practices, framing the issue as not only moral but also environmental and social. It serves as a compelling appeal to conscience, fairness, and justice, making it essential reading for both supporters and skeptics.
