“A majority of people in these surveys also said that America gives too much aid--but when they were asked how much America should give, the median answers ranged from 5 percent to 10 percent of government spending. In other words, people wanted foreign aid 'cut' to an amount five to ten times greater than the United States actually gives!”

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

His controversial views have sparked global debates but profoundly influenced contemporary ethics, charity practices, and animal welfare policies. more
