Half a century ago, Singer shook the world with Animal Liberation. In it, he exposed an inconvenient truth: that our civilisation is built on the suffering of animals – and that we too often choose to ignore it. His message was crystal clear: if suffering matters, then every being capable of suffering matters. The book sparked a global animal rights movement.
Singer doesn’t just write about ethics. He lives it. No meat. No flights unless necessary. For this lecture, he waited until he could travel by train.
What has changed in fifty years? What hasn’t? And how do animal rights shape our ecological, social, and ethical decisions in 2025? Expect an evening that confronts, provokes, and challenges.
