Tom Regan: A Case for Animal Rights

2017-02-19T03:04:02.229Z

Professor Tom Regan, often referred to as the philosophical leader of the animal rights movement, and named as one of fifty visionaries who are changing the world, opened the debate "Does the Animal Kingdom Need a Bill of Rights" at the Royal Institute of Great Britain in 1989. This is still seen as one of the greatest animal rights speeches of all time.

Professor Regan sums up at the end of the debate here, in a speech that is equally brilliant.

Animal rights philosopher, and "one of fifty visionaries who are changing the world" (Utne Reader), Professor Tom Regan delivered this inspirational keynote address to a rally in Los Angeles in April 1988. Tom's speech, titled "The Sword of Justice, The Torch of Reason", is still considered by many to be "The greatest animal rights speech ever given".

Twenty six years after giving this speech, Professor Regan sat down with Gary Comstock to speak about the events leading up to this speech, and if he had any regrets. That interview can be found here:

Tom Regan was the first theorist to ‘get ‘rights’ across the species barrier." Therefore, he can be credited with breaching that hitherto solid defensive ethical barrier based exclusively on species membership
