Peter Singer: Animal Liberation, Forty Years On

Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation, often credited with starting the modern animal rights movement, was first published in September 1975. In this lecture, the author assesses how well the argument has stood up over that period, and what progress has been made towards the changes in our treatment of animals that the book advocates.

Currently reading animal liberation. It is a tool that will enhance your logical reasoning. Strongly recommend it!

[dommidavros]

When the guy introducing Peter said "I'm no longer a vegetarian..." I was waiting for the moment where he says "I'm now a vegan" - That moment never came! 🤬🤬

[julioamador]

They really could not find someone to introduce Singer who actually followed his philosophy? Why is this guy talking about an ethical way of eating meat?

[NoPityForThePlatsch]

How do you ethically kill someone who does not want to die? Please enlighten us, Mr moderator man!

[CEarthling]

Vegan for Animals ❤ one of the best decision of my life.

[Jakob]

Vegan 5 years now! We can do this people

[GoVeganForTheAnimal]

There is no ethical way to cause immense suffering to animals you don't need to exploit and kill, bro... what the? ? ?

[johnnysprocketz]

Professor Singer sounds like a genius compared to those answering questions and/or making comments.

[parastooart]

The moderator man doesn’t believe in what he’s introducing…. What a joke!…. Worst introduction ever! It’s actually disrespectful to laugh at eating animals in a room that supposed to talk about animal liberation!

I wish this awesome writer/speaker would have a better introduction. Peter singer is amazing.

[benjaminshaffer]

Thanks for posting! Great use of hour and a half

[Kevin-ulux]

That introductory speaker would've done a better job if he'd limited his remarks to only jestures and grunting.

[ShadowZZZ]

Awesome. Another great video which briefly summarizes the philosophy of animal rights of the one by crash course philosophy, part 42. I also like watching videos by Earthling Ed's speeches or Cosmic Skeptic speeches. Gary Yourofsky also makes great speeches I recommend checking out. I'm vegan and think everyone who can should be vegan. For more information on this deeply important topic I recommend checking out the channels I mentioned earlier, as well as watching documentaries like "dominion", "the game changers", "what the health", and "cowspiracy".

Four legs good, two legs bad-George Orwell.

[Kate-zlzl]

There are no valid arguments for unnecessarily eating animals (and it can be handled so it's never necessary for anyone)

[joaobarbosa]

I believe in God but that doesn't mean i have to disagree with him in regards to animals moral value. There are religions that support his claims like Hinduism ( Vaishnavas particularly), Budhism and Taoism.

[CC-cknn]

Anyone who thinks that they can just torture animals and it's okay with God is wrong. When God gave us Dominion he meant we are supposed to be the caregivers. In the Old Testament the only reason why animals were sacrificed was because of man's sin. If man would stop sinning animals wouldn't have to die. A lot of people who call themselves Christians don't seem to be using discernment these days. So my only thought is they must be wolves in sheep's clothing.

Vivisection is wrong!  The Catholic church continued to promote this horrific act!!!!

Why is Animal Liberation not available in English on Audible?

1:12 I’m a living philosopher who can make the change of I was given one chance to speak in public. I won’t write a book.. I am not interested in praises. I’m only interested in changing the world for the better for all on the planet. Peter Singer is wonderful don’t get me wrong. Just not the “only” one who can live up to it. God bless him for what he’s done. I have something that will offer the next level. Could we talk for 5 minutes? It would change your lives.

Feeling Empty?
What does it take to be a Christian?
Faith in Christ

Matthew 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

The Gospel
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Faith Alone in the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ (God) to Forgive your Sins through His blood. By believing in this you have become a new creation in Christ, and have a promise you’ll be with the Lord in your death, but also have the Holy Spirit living in you forever as a guide for you. If you believe, from that moment on to eternity you are saved (No matter how much you struggle with sin after).

Romans 3:23-25
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Romans 3:10-12
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Hell or Heaven?
Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Matthew 23:13
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

HELL IS A REAL LOCATION
ALL NON CHRISTIANS WILL BE THERE AND ARE THERE

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Heaven or Hell?

A PRAYER FOR SALVATION THROUGH FAITH

“I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that Christ died for my sins and rose three days later from the grave. Thank you for forgiving my sin on the cross. You alone Jesus is now why I have forgiveness and eternal life. Thank you in Jesus name. Amen.”

If you have prayed this with faith you are Forgiven and now in the Body of Christ.
Welcome brother or sister. Remember saying a prayer does not save you, having Faith does in Jesus and what He did for you.

I encourage you to find a Godly Bible believing church as well
God Bless
