I wouldn't be so sure that he has changed. Since animals and humans are equal according to Singer; he would probably sacrfice the life of one human to save one hundred monkeys.

To: Libertarianize the GOP

an interesting point.

i wonder if we could develop a scale that would equate the number of each type of animal that would balance with the value of one human.
(e.g., one human = 3 whales = 200 elephants = 500 chimps, etc.)
this could cause some serious controversy.
