Peter Singer is not the founder of, nor associated with PETA or the ALF. He is merely a modern utilitarian philosopher who asserts that while animals have different rights and abilities to human beings, they share our ability to suffer so minimizing harm inflicted upon them is morally desirable. While his views are controversial, they in no way encourage harm against human beings unless grossly misrepresented. In this country, philosophys like those espoused by Singer and others underpin the laws that give animals legal protection against undue suffering where they are used for human purposes.
