Animal LiberationPeter Singer is Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. He went to Princeton in 1999 after spending most of his life in Australia.

In 1996 he ran unsuccessfully as a Green candidate for the Australian Senate. In 2004, he was recognised as the Australian Humanist of the Year by the Council of Australian Humanist Societies.
