Why Vegan?

'So the only question is: do animals other than man suffer?'

One of the great moral philosophers of the modern age, Peter Singer asks unflinching questions about how we should live our lives. The ideas collected in these writings, arguing that human tyranny over animals is a wrong comparable to racism and sexism, triggered the animal rights movement and gave impetus to the rise in vegan eating.

„Deci, singura intrebare este: sufera alte animale decat omul?” Unul dintre marii filozofi morali ai epocii moderne, Peter Singer pune intrebari neclintite despre cum ar trebui sa ne traim viata. Ideile colectate in aceste scrieri, sustinand ca tirania umana asupra animalelor este o greseala comparabila cu rasismul si sexismul, au declansat miscarea pentru drepturile animalelor si au dat impuls cresterii consumului vegan.
