Regarding the The Observer article "Peter Singer: moral arbiter of life and death," published in The Japan Times on Feb. 28: Professor Peter Singer is quoted as saying that "All the arguments to prove man's superiority cannot shatter this hard fact: In suffering, the animals are our equals."
I don't know of any animal suffering from or, for that matter, enjoying reading Singer's writings, while there are quite a few humans saddened by what he says. Others, like me, admire him for giving 25 percent of his earnings to Oxfam.
