“We ought to consider the interests of animals because they have interests and it is unjustifiable to exclude them from the sphere of moral concern; to make this consideration depend on beneficial consequences for human beings is to accept the implication that the interests of animals do not warrant consideration for their own sakes.”

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