Their main reason, I think, for not following their own logic, is that by saying that animals have legal rights they are putting them into a class all the other members of which are persons of one sort or another.

To the Editor: Re “ To Revive Hunting, States Turn to the Classroom ” (front page, March 8): Shame on West Virginia if it approves a bill that allows hunting education classes in public schools to become law. We should not use public schools to try to reverse the inexorable decline in the “sport” of hunting.

Nor is it only among schoolboys that over-eating is rampant, for the tables of the wealthy are everywhere loaded with flesh-meat, and the example thus set is naturally followed, first in the servants' hall, and then, as far as may be, in the homes of the working classes.

There is one class of truths concerning which the philosopher, as such, has expertise, namely, necessary truths. I hope you can see that Frey meant "validity" rather than "soundness." The philosopher is concerned not with the truth of an argument's premises, but with whether they entail the conclusion.

Philosophers make distinctions in order to focus attention on particular classes of things. KBJ: Martin has already made two distinctions. One can go on all day making distinctions, obviously, but that would be pointless. The distinction between old and new moral vegetarianism shows that new arguments continue to be made.

Each semester when I teach Contemporary Moral Issues, on the first day of class I begin with a survey. The NY Times article Keith linked to earlier today (see here ) points out that fur sales are up 9% over last year and from this statistic goes on to infer that "fur is back in style."
