01/16 Food for Thought Book Club: Ethics Into Action - SF

[Guest guest]

Hi all

The Food for Thought Book Club typically meets bi-monthly to discuss books about veg*nism and animal rights. On alternating months, there is also the opportunity for philosophical animal rights discussions that may be based on selected chapters in books, videos, or essays.

The next meeting is Saturday, Jan 16th to discuss the book Ethics Into Action: Henry Spira and the Animal Rights Movement by Peter Singer. This meeting is open to new members so please join us if you're interested. All food is vegan at BAVeg events.

More about the book:

"The eminent philosopher of the animal rights movement skillfully profiles pioneering animal rights activist Henry Spira, whose organization, Animal Rights International, operating on a shoestring budget, has taken on corporate giants like Revlon, Procter & Gamble and Perdue Farms, waging influential campaigns against cruel animal experimentation, against the eating of meat, against the mistreatment of animals on factory farms."

"The strategic lessons Singer distills from Spira's career will prove inspirational to a broad range of activists fighting many different types of injustice."
