This last implies of course an improvement in ethics, as opposed to morality, as I have defined it, unless we already understand 'Do as you would be done by' as applicable to whales, cattle, chickens, and so on, as it is to human beings. Perhaps in order to qualify for a moral elite one should become a heroic vegetarian like Peter Singer.

Of course, Lobo is missing the point entirely. Of course, Lobo is missing the point entirely. If any "drastic measures" are employed, they are to remove animals from suffering, not to impose our dietary choices on others. And of course what we do is about the issues. I wish their mission was to end animal agriculture.

And this is partly what’s so disappointing about the message of this book: Herzog amasses the research, and sees and does things that involve tremendous suffering and injustice. Of course I was appalled, but out there in the mainstream world, she is an outlier. Of course that can be debated. But I’m merely making his point.

God thinks vegetarians are evil, and we want to please god. Of course, she teaches Jake the prayer that makes killing the animal all better. Ingesting suffering can't possibly be good for anyone's karma. Not to be confused with #1, this one comes directly from The Bible. Cain was a farmer, Abel was a herder. whatever he was.

Keith has not only been my favorite Philosophy professor that I have studied under during the course of my college experience, but my favorite professor in general. I simply believe that when animals are killed it ought to be for a good purpose, and in a manner that is respectful to their capacity to suffer.

The tiresome Hitler was a well-known vegetarian comment is included in this segment, but I found it irksome long before that. Of course, "That's not to say dogs didn't have their niche in biomedicine. In 10 or 15 years of life, he suffered through multiple surgeries and infections and endless hours of restraint in a plastic chair.

He always refers to himself and his wife and his child as "vegetarian." But why does he say "vegetarian?" That bothers me, as there's a significant difference in motivation for vegans and vegetarians and he sounds like one, yet calls himself the other. You never have to wonder if the fish on your plate had to suffer.

For an explanation of this feature, click on “Moral Vegetarianism” at the bottom of this post. Most moral vegetarians list fish and fowl as animals one should not eat. Vegan vegetarians who eat only vegetables, fruit, and nuts do not completely remove all microorganisms from their food, even with repeated cleaning. KBJ: Nothing.

If you are already a vegetarian, make this the year that you decide to go vegan. Of course, since that is so easily accomplished, you may have already fully succeeded in carrying out that aspect of resolution 11 long ago. Where should you begin? What to do next? I recommend trying to accomplish sub-resolutions (a), (b), and (c) next.

In his fresh and candid first post (available here ), Jonathan admitted that he is struggling with the issue of ethical vegetarianism. He clearly thinks that it is wrong to cause animals to suffer unnecessarily, but he appears to be somewhat ambivalent about killing animals (provided the killing is carried out humanely).
