The first anthology of writings on the history, ethics, politics and tactics of the Animal Liberation Front. Terrorists Or Freedom Fighters? features both academic and activist perspectives and offers powerful insights into this international organisation and its position within the animal right movement. Calling on sources as venerable as Thomas Aquinas and as current as the patriot act - and, in some cases, personal experience - the contributors explore the history of civil disobedience and sabotage, and examine the philosophical and cultural meanings of words like 'terrorism', 'democracy' and 'freedom', in a book that ultimately challenges the values and assumptions that pervade our culture. Contributors include Robin Webb, Rod Coronado, Ingrid Newkirk, Paul Watson, Karen Davies, Bruce Friedrich and others.

A reasoned plea for the human treatment of animals that galvanised the animal rights movement the way Rachel Carson's Silent Spring drew activists to environmentalism.' In this revised edition of his hugely influential book, Peter Singer discusses the evolution of the animal rights movement and the extent to which his own views have changed since first publication (1975). He also graphically updates his account of what is being done to animals in the laboratory or on the farm.
