Since 1975，advocates of humane treatment of animals have broadened their goals to oppo the u of animals for fur，leather，wool and food.They have mourned protests against all forms of hunting and the trapping of animals in the wild.And they have joined environmentalists in urging protection of natural habitats from commercial or residential development.The occasion for the added emphas was the publication in 1975 of “Animal Liberation：A New Ethics for Our Treatment of Animals” by Peter Singer，former
