AGAINST THE ANIMAL RIGHTS PHILOSOPHY

[Dennis La Varenne]

To those of you interested in matters philosophical, I recently, I came across this article whilst looking up the publications by the British philosopher, Roger Scruton, who has been giving some talks on ABC radio. The article at this site was first published in the New Statesman newspaper as a critique of Peter Singer's latest book at that time entitled "Fourth Estate" ISBN 1841155500.

Scruton points out some very intersting inconsistencies in Singer's argument on animal 'rights' and his reasons.

At any rate, here is the URL - http://www.ukapologetics.net/antisinger.htm

Roger Scruton has also published a book on hunting - "On Hunting - a Short Polemic". This book deals principally with Fox Hunting as practised in the UK, so I do not know if there are any arguments relevant to hunting as it is practised in Australia. When I receive my copy of his book, I can let members know more.
