The edit of 08:58, 8 Apr 2005 was mine, I forgot to log in.

Just a query, is it really true that other animal rights / animal liberation campaigners need to "invent radical new theories of ethics"? Isn't Peter Singer's version merely a simple extension of utilitarianism to include not only rational beings but any being that can suffer? How does this differ from Regan's extension of Kantianism to grant moral status to non-rational animals? (didn't want to edit it out though since I'm not sure .. anyone?) -- Rkundalini 22:05, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] On Veganism

A section on Tom Regan would be appropriate for the Veganism article, but I don't have access to any of his writings which mention veganism. Perhaps somebody who does could either link these writings or could write a section about Regan in the "ethics" section of the Veganism article. Kellen^T 02:32, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
