Animal Ethics

FEBRUARY 1, 2012

Farm animals are treated essentially as raw materials. Their ethological needs and direct interests are neglected to the extent that their needs are not as congruent with higher productivity and profit. Though factory-farming and biotechnological techniques massively violate the moral rights of farm animals, they have no remedy.

I neglected to take the camera into the courtyard in the beginning, though I did bring the hounds and their beds. The discussion about the environment usually originates in the massive problems created by the factory farming of sentient nonhumans. We all know junk-food vegans and vegans who eat "faux meat" products every day.

What these naysayers consistently neglect is that vegan diets, as with all other restricted diets, must be well planned. It is not enough to simply cut animal products (or carbohydrates, or calories) out of one’s diet. Without a concerted effort by the consumer, restricted diets of any kind may fail to provide adequate nutrition.
