Click Here For The animal-right extremists
Daniel J. Flynn: The animal-right extremists: "Should one break in and free the animals?" Professor Singer asked in Animal Liberation. "That is illegal, but the obligation to obey the law is not absolute. It was justifiably broken by those who helped runaway slaves in the American South."
Singer concedes that he finds "no reason to protect [animal] experimenters behind a cloak of anonymity." He asks: "How can they then remove their white coats, wash their hands, and go home to dinner with their families?"
Throughout Singer's book, an abridged version of which is given to new members of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the animal rights crusade is compared to the abolition movement and the fight against Hitler. Their opponents, naturally, play the role of slaveholders and Nazis. "
