Peter Singer: I think very few people really defend factory farming from an animal welfare point of view. Most people say probably I should try and avoid those products.

MIKKO JARVENPAA: What are our duties towards others, especially those who are less fortunate than us? Who are such others, and how can we do the most good for them?
