Bob Torres

Robert "Bob" Torres was an assistant professor of sociology at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York. He is the co-author, with his wife Jenna Torres, of Vegan Freak: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World (2005), and Making A Killing: The Political Economy of Animal Rights (2007).
Making a Killing examines animal rights from a social anarchist position. Torres argues that changing our attitudes toward animals is essential to changing other relationships of dominance that characterize most societies.Sankoff, Peter and Whit, Steven. Animal Law in Australasia. Federation Press, 2009, p. 272.
Torres and his wife briefly produced a podcast about animal rights and veganism, featuring the Torres' commentary, along with the occasional guest, and Torres was a partner at the now defunct Tofu Hound Press, which was a small publishing company that released a few books on the same subject. The podcast suddenly ceased in 2009 and websites related to it were taken down shortly thereafter without notice. Bob Torres now runs a travel blog on which he talks about and promotes consuming animal products.
