Gary Francione was the first academic to teach animal rights in a
U.S. law school and has since become a central figure in the animal
rights movement.

Abolition of Animal Exploitation, is now available from Columbia
University Press, online sellers, and at bookstores.

Here is just one of the questions and answers from this interview:
Q: If we are persuaded by your views and want to abolish animal
exploitation, what can we do now—today—to help bring about that
abolition?
GF: The most important thing anyone can do is to become vegan and to
educate others about why taking animals seriously means being vegan. As
more and more people become vegan, demand drops and consciousness about
the immoral and unjustifiable nature of animal use is raised. I regard
veganism as the most important form of activism for nonhuman animals.
Veganism is the principle of abolition applied to the life of the
individual.
