Tracing an animal-rights philosophy

 

By Patrik Jonsson

October 09, 2001

 

RALEIGH, N.C. - Tom Regan didn't start out worrying about the rights

of the furry and finned to live a full and happy life. As a young man

growing up in gritty Pittsburgh, he earned his cash from butchering

meat in a store.

 

Today, some 40 years later, Mr. Regan is firmly on the other side of

the farmyard fence. His day job is as a professor at North Carolina

State University, but he's also a devoted vegan, philosopher,

filmmaker, and author. And he's become known as an intellectual

firebrand for the animal-rights movement - a once-esoteric subject

that is now common in philosophy departments from Harvard to Stanford.
