Abstract

In 1975, an Australian philosopher by the name of Peter Singer first published his controversial book animal Liberation. It has since become widely known as the beginning of the current "animal liberation movement" in america. The book preached the virtues of vegetarianism and vilified the American agribusiness, which Singer believed was highly immoral. Singer's animal Liberation has had many varying effects on the world; and specifically, the United States. Singer's book had a great number of admirer's, as well as its fair share of critics. In November of 2002, New York Times contributing writer Michael Pollan wrote an article entitled "An animal's place." This article dispelled some of the myths behind Singer's animal Liberation, as well criticized some of Singer's ideas. Pollan's article, however, is more than a mere argument against Singer's belief system. Pollan delves into Singer's arguments, and points out that while some are valid, many are not.
