  • To kill or not to kill, that is the question.

    Singer was ahead of his time in grappling with fundamental issues of animal & environmental welfare. Clear, lucid, very readable. Will change your outlook on many everyday things - now am I justified in killing that fly whose buzzing is annoying me or not?
