Animal Liberation by Peter Singer - made me both an animal advocacy activist and strongly influenced me towards a consequentialist moral
Animal Liberation by Peter Singer. I read it over 20 years ago. I've been a vegetarian/vegan ever since. There were probably other things I read or saw that contributed to the decision, but that was, I think, the primary catalyst.
Animal Liberation by Peter Singer Peter Singer introduced and popularized the term "speciesism" in the book that is often referred to as the bible of the animal rights movement.
