I believe that as an animal activist, you\u00a0need to keep yourself very familiar with animal rights literature. You will always feel\u00a0more comfortable talking about animal rights with people when you\u2019re well versed in the\u00a0matter. Here are the books and why I\u2019d recommend them: Animal Liberation, by Peter Singer Peter Singer has been called the father of the Animal Right\u2019s Movement. Depending\u00a0on who you speak with, you\u2019re bound to hear radically different opinions on him.\u00a0Regardless of your feelings from what you have heard of him, he is worth reading.\u00a0Animal Liberation was published in the mid 1970\u2019s, and it\u2019s considered by many to be\u00a0the book that ignited the animal rights movement. I had first read Animal Liberation over\u00a0a decade ago, expanding my ethical understanding of animals once I grasped his notion\u00a0of \u201cequal consideration,\u201d \u201cspeciesism\u201d and utilitarianism. Obviously my own views on\u00a0animal rights have radically changed since then with time, but I would still recommend\u00a0this book as a must read.
