How we change the dominant misconception of animals—indeed, whether we change it—is to a large extent a political question.

Animal Ethics

FEBRUARY 10, 2008

I have little to say about rights because rights are not important to my argument. My basic moral position (as my emphasis on pleasure and pain and my quoting Bentham might have led Fox to suspect) is utilitarian. My argument is based on the principle of equality, which I do have quite a lot to say about.

I will address two of them in the new year, namely, “Is hunting moral at all?” In the past I have attributed some of this conflict to differences between the conservation mindset and that of animal rights/animal welfare. The way things should be is a very powerful motivating factor in human lives.
