The drive to emancipate slaves was grounded on religious and moral grounds. There was tremendous moral energy, organization, networking, and credibility that came from the involvement of religious organizations and individuals. Quakers, for example, were the early abolitionists in the US.

While the animal rights community has lost its biggest advocate, we can be grateful that his words will live on to inspire countless others to give animals the moral respect they are due. Indeed, CAF is one of the few granting agencies that funds academic and artistic projects designed to raise public awareness about concern for animals.

However, both his perceptions and misconceptions are based on: 1) observing the work of PeTA and HSUS; and 2) the assumption that those two organizations are in the same category--"animal rights." If you can get through the article's pernicious nonsense, there are some salient points, albeit the result of confusion on the part of the author.

It's off to a promising start and includes a promising end: The HSUS opposes rodeos as they are commonly organized, since they typically cause torment and stress to animals; expose them to pain, injury, or even death; and encourage an insensitivity to and acceptance of the inhumane treatment of animals in the name of sport.

It's not sorry, it just hasn't found its moral, UNITED, ORGANIZED voice. I read Jonathon Alter once years ago who, writing in Newsweek, bemoaned the fact that there was no civil rights movement to galvanize the young people of the day. Just the sorry animal rights movement.

But they also haven't made a moral choice to not use animals. However, there's a context here, and that context is that the message is coming from an organization that focuses on the science angle of our use of sentient nonhumans (i.e., My dogs eat vegan dog food. They don't have collars made from animals.

If Smith thinks that plant rights and animal rights stand or fall together, then he is confused, for there is a morally relevant difference between plants and animals, namely, that only the latter are sentient. Animal rights ideology holds that moral worth comes with sentience or the ability to suffer.

Its validity is limited by other moral imperatives. And I believe that in most cases man is morally justified in thus reducing the satisfactions of the food animals. The moral issue, when a man eats lamb chops, is not: Does he gain more value than the lambs have lost by dying so young? But few people do this.

Perhaps it is the industry's inability to evolve morally that is behind the times. Vegans give money to organizations that they think are going to further their vegan cause but that's not what ends up happening with all 100% of those donations (let's assume some goes to vegan education or animal rescue or even open rescue).

But when you step back from those discussions you see that: 1. The people involved are usually vegans, so there's no one to convert (though their charitable dollars might need converting if they go to an organization that doesn't have the same goal as the individual); and 2. The argument centers on the territory of language.

There are moral reasons to go vegetarian: recognition that it is wrong to contribute to unnecessary animal suffering the injustice of exploiting animals and killing them for no good reason If human have rights, then many nonhuman animals also have rights, and confining and killing these animals for food violates these rights.

Also, with the opening of more hunting seasons i am hopefull that more concerned sportsmen will start an organization along the same grain as Ducks Unlimited to protect and create Sandhill habitat. You may not agree with it… but for millions of people across this nation hunting is a moral thing to do. Make your own correlative.

There's not enough evidence for an accusation of moral relativism, but for me the message is a mixed one. However, Foer does claim to have spent a couple of years researching and it is odd to me that the only subject of animal rights discussion is an organization that is ambiguous, at best, in its message about animals.
