Peter Singer is a philosopher and professor at Princeton University. He is renowned for his book, Animal Liberation, which is celebrated as a foundational text of the animal protection movement. He is also well known for his theory of utilitarianism, which simply put, takes the suffering of all beings into account.
Voiceless recently spoke to Peter Singer about his views on modern society’s relationship with fishes.

There seems to be an almost uncanny silence when it comes to thinking about fishes – they are, as Peter Singer has described, the “forgotten victims on our plate.”

When my father, Brian, and I founded Voiceless fifteen years ago, we were both certain this would be our life’s work, that protecting animals from suffering was our calling. In the fifteen years since, the flames of our joint passion and dedication to stop animal cruelty have not, even for a moment, dimmed.

Lynn famously blew the whistle on Australia's live export trade, an industry she became all too familiar with after her work as a veterinarian on a number of journeys across the Indian Ocean. In this contribution to the Voiceless blog, Lynn reflects on her time at sea and encourages readers to become part of the change.

Dr O’Donnell is an Australian water law and policy specialist at the University of Melbourne. Her PhD explored the implications of using a legal person to represent the aquatic environment, with the responsibility of holding and managing water rights. We spoke to Erin about the concept of granting legal rights to natural entities, and asked her about the idea of extending legal personhood to nonhuman animals.
