A Covenant for the Ark? by Peter Singer
Chairman of the Department of Philosophy at Monash University, Victoria, Australia.
' Just as we progressed beyond the racist ethic of the era of slavery, so we must progress beyond the ethics of the era of factory farming, of animals as mere research tools for testing unnecessary products, of whaling, of seal-hunting and the destruction of wilderness. We must take the final step in expanding the circle of ethics.'
Professor Singer argues that we need to re-evaluate our attitudes towards animals. Does this mean that animals will have rights?
Directed by HENRY CAMPION Produced by DAVID PATERSON
