对话背景 | About the Event
在本次活动中，彼得·辛格教授将围绕其最初于1975年出版的《动物解放》中提出的观点进行探讨，并分享他目前对这些观点的最新思考。辛格教授将首先对于自该书出版以来人们在保护动物权益领域所取得的进步做出阐述，并进而论证，尽管这些方面有所进步，但我们对待动物的方式仍然是无可辩解的 "物种歧视"。辛格教授将论证我们对非人类动物的利益应给予平等的考虑，并解释这一观点的含义；以及为什么我们要改变对待动物的方式，特别是目前为获得肉类、蛋类和乳制品而密集饲养动物的方法，这一改变对动物和人类都很重要。
In this event, Professor Peter Singer will consider the ideas presented in Animal Liberation, originally published in 1975, and his current thinking about these ideas. He will indicate the significant progress that has been made since the book was first published, and then argue that, notwithstanding this progress over earlier periods, our treatment of animals remains “speciesist” and therefore indefensible. He will argue that we owe nonhuman animals equal consideration of their interests, and will explain what the implications of that view are, and why it is important, both for animals and humans, that we change the way we treat animals, especially in our current methods of raising animals intensively for meat, eggs and dairy products.
讨论议题 | Discussion Topics

What is the moral status of animals? How should we weigh their interests against ours?
