| Can man justify treating animal life with such low regard?

Peter Singer, well known author on the subject of animal liberation, will present a
free discussion at Douglas College McBride Site on October 28 at 4:30 p.m. in
Room 308.

Singer, whose scheduled lecture at the Vancouver Institute at the University of
British Columbia was cancelled, will talk about the blatant disregard for animal
life by humans.

"T imagine Singer will be talking about such controversial topics as the experimental
treatment of animals in research laboratories," says Douglas College philosophy in-
structor, Brian Davies.

"Even in slaughter houses, animals which are used for food suffer a tremendous
amount of pain while being put to death," Davies said.

Singer is a professor of philosophy at Monash University and was formerly a
Radcliffe lecturer at University College, Oxford. His current publications include
Democracy and Disobedience, Animal Liberation, Practical Ethics, and The Expanding
Circle: Ethics and Sociobiology.

The Discussion is sponsored by the Douglas College Philosophy Department.
