Analysis Of Animal Liberation By Peter Singer
Peter singer
As already mentioned, Peter Singer's "animal liberation" has promoted the development of animal rights theory. Singer called it “speciesism” , which is the discrimination by people about non-human animals. He believes that speciesism and what people have said racism and sexism are all based on the prejudice of the product, only the object from the human change into an animal. Thus he believed that the past objected speech of racism and sexism will also be used to oppose speciesism. He argued that we should extend all principles applicable to mankind to all creatures.

That is, sacrifice of the animal is still required.
4. Some people think that researchers can use the body instead of experimental animals, but the body can not get the purpose as live animals of the experiment. The results of the experiment will be greatly reduced. Preferring to err on the part of an experimental animal, not failing to save human beings in the future.
5. In spite of supporting animal experiments, it is necessary to respect the life of the animals in the experiments. Because animals also have life, they also have emotions and feelings. Laboratory personnel in the future should learn to conduct animal experiments more humane, try to make animals less suffering.
Overall, the animal's moral status is basically divided into five. The first is the no status theory, which argues that animals do not have ration and therefore do not need a moral
