“The belief that the animals exist because God created them - and that he created them so we can better meet our needs - is contrary to our scientific understanding of evolution and, of course, to the fossil record, which shows the existence of non-human primates and other animals millions of years before there were any human beings at all.”

He is a professor of bioethics at Princeton University and author of 'Animal Liberation,' a foundational text of the animal rights movement.
