| http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#value | - Peter Singer is a major philosophical influence in the animal-rights movement and follows the utilitarianism of Bentham, who said ???The question is not, ???Can they reason???? nor, ???Can they talk???? but rather, ???Can they suffer?'??? That is, the degree to which we should go out of our way to avoid harming other beings depends only on the degree to which they???re able to experience harm.
