Animal Ethics

MARCH 13, 2008

First of all, I want to tell you how much I enjoy Animal Ethics. I especially liked your posting from Gardner Williams’ “The Moral Insignificance of the Total of All Value.” I found this very inspiring, and would have never have seen it if not for your blog, so thank you for that. I read it all the time.

I haven't been able to blog, or, I haven't made it a priority. There are new Francione-style abolitionists and new people to veganism who debate about the ethics of consuming eggs from their neighbor's chickens. I keep #atheism streaming on Tweetdeck and it's embarrassing to read some of the vitriol toward believers.

Since a number of "Animal Ethics" readers reside in the northern Illinois area, I thought I would call your attention to an exciting lecture that is taking place on Northern Illinois University's campus. She specializes in Environmental Ethics, Human-Animal Ethics, and Moral Psychology. Jenni, Ph.D.

If you'll indulge me I would like to compliment you on your blog. I've been an ethical vegan for 12 years; for me it was a straightforward transition. Once I put two and two together and realized where my food came from and the moral inconsistency of it all there was no turning back. It is at the top of my list of "daily reads."

First of all, I would like to thank Keith for inviting me to be a part of this blog. Currently, I am very interested in social and political philosophy and ethical issues. I felt a strong sense of connection to the ideas of Peter Singer while taking Ethics from Keith. Hi there, I'm Jonathan. So, I took the plunge.

Mark Spahn sent a link to this blog. At the risk of being a killjoy, let me say that there should ( morally ) be no zoos. Wild animals belong in the wild. Like humans, they have a right to liberty. They do not exist for our amusement, entertainment, or education.

Here is a New York Times blog post about wolf hunting. Peter Singer more broadly examines the moral standing of animals here.) This passage puzzles me: Unsurprisingly, I believe it is wrong to inflict pain and death unnecessarily on a creature capable of suffering.

Jonathan Hubbell, a philosophy major at the University of Texas at Arlington, is the newest member of the Animal Ethics blog, and once again, I would like to welcome him aboard. In his fresh and candid first post (available here ), Jonathan admitted that he is struggling with the issue of ethical vegetarianism.

Mark Spahn, a longtime reader of my AnalPhilosopher blog, thinks it’s question-begging to use “who” (instead of “that”) to refer to animals. The question (presumably) is whether animals have moral status, i.e., whether the interests of animals must be taken into account in our deliberations. So both usages are question-begging.

This blog had 2,325 visitors during November, which is an average of 77.5 That is by far the most visitors during any month of the blog's three-year existence. In my view, the moral status of nonhuman animals is one of the most important issues that any of us will confront, and it confronts all of us. visitors per year.

If you are like most people, you think that it is seriously morally wrong to contribute to unnecessary animal suffering. Switching to a vegan diet will help you to live your life in accordance with your own deeply held moral values and will, thereby, help you to live an authentic life, i.e., a meaningful life of integrity.
