Book Why Vegan   Eating Ethically

Download or read book Why Vegan Eating Ethically written by Peter Singer and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world reeling from a global pandemic, never has a treatise on veganism—from our foremost philosopher on animal rights—been more relevant or necessary. “Peter Singer may be the most controversial philosopher alive; he is certainly among the most influential.” —The New Yorker Even before the publication of his seminal Animal Liberation in 1975, Peter Singer, one of the greatest moral philosophers of our time, unflinchingly challenged the ethics of eating animals. Now, in Why Vegan?, Singer brings together the most consequential essays of his career to make this devastating case against our failure to confront what we are doing to animals, to public health, and to our planet. From his 1973 manifesto for Animal Liberation to his personal account of becoming a vegetarian in “The Oxford Vegetarians” and to investigating the impact of meat on global warming, Singer traces the historical arc of the animal rights, vegetarian, and vegan movements from their embryonic days to today, when climate change and global pandemics threaten the very existence of humans and animals alike. In his introduction and in “The Two Dark Sides of COVID-19,” cowritten with Paola Cavalieri, Singer excoriates the appalling health hazards of Chinese wet markets—where thousands of animals endure almost endless brutality and suffering—but also reminds westerners that they cannot blame China alone without also acknowledging the perils of our own factory farms, where unimaginably overcrowded sheds create the ideal environment for viruses to mutate and multiply. Spanning more than five decades of writing on the systemic mistreatment of animals, Why Vegan? features a topical new introduction, along with nine other essays, including: • “An Ethical Way of Treating Chickens?,” which opens our eyes to the lives of the birds who end up on so many plates—and to the lives of their parents; • “If Fish Could Scream,” an essay exposing the utter indifference of commercial fishing practices to the experiences of the sentient beings they scoop from the oceans in such unimaginably vast numbers; • “The Case for Going Vegan,” in which Singer assembles his most powerful case for boycotting the animal production industry; • And most recently, in the introduction to this book and in “The Two Dark Sides of COVID-19,” Singer points to a new reason for avoiding meat: the role eating animals has played, and will play, in pandemics past, present, and future. Written in Singer’s pellucid prose, Why Vegan? asserts that human tyranny over animals is a wrong comparable to racism and sexism. The book ultimately becomes an urgent call to reframe our lives in order to redeem ourselves and alter the calamitous trajectory of our imperiled planet.

Download or read book Defending Beef written by Nicolette Hahn Niman and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Nicolette Hahn Niman sets out to debunk just about everything you think you know . . . She’s not trying to change your mind; she’s trying to save your world.”—Los Angeles Times “Elegant, strongly argued.”—The Atlantic (named a “Best Food Book”) As the meat industry—from small-scale ranchers and butchers to sprawling slaughterhouse operators—responds to COVID-19, the climate threat, and the rise of plant-based meats, Defending Beef delivers a passionate argument for responsible meat production and consumption–in an updated and expanded new edition. For decades it has been nearly universal dogma among environmentalists that many forms of livestock—goats, sheep, and others, but especially cattle—are Public Enemy Number One. They erode soils, pollute air and water, damage riparian areas, and decimate wildlife populations. As recently as 2019, a widely circulated Green New Deal fact sheet even highlighted the problem of “farting cows.” But is the matter really so clear-cut? Hardly. In Defending Beef, Second Edition, environmental lawyer turned rancher Nicolette Hahn Niman argues that cattle are not inherently bad for the earth. The impact of grazing can be either negative or positive, depending on how livestock are managed. In fact, with proper oversight, livestock can play an essential role in maintaining grassland ecosystems by performing the same functions as the natural herbivores that once roamed and grazed there. With more public discussions and media being paid to connections between health and diet, food and climate, and climate and farming—especially cattle farming, Defending Beef has never been more timely. And in this newly revised and updated edition, the author also addresses the explosion in popularity of “fake meat” (both highly processed “plant-based foods” and meat grown from cells in a lab, rather than on the hoof). Defending Beef is simultaneously a book about big issues and the personal journey of the author, who continues to fight for animal welfare and good science. Hahn Niman shows how dispersed, grass-based, smaller-scale farms can and should become the basis of American food production.

They face threats and vandalism, but also consider a surprising proposition from a wealthy businessman who wants to collaborate with them. As they investigate further, they discover the true identity of Kourtney's killer and must make a decision about whether to trust the businessman or continue fighting for their cause. With the help of a detective, they confront the killer and ultimately find justice. In Chapter 17, Backey and Kimberly find themselves face to face with members of the Order of the Meat at Backey's apartment. They realize they are in serious danger and quickly try to come up with a plan to escape. Backey remembers a hidden exit in her apartment and leads Kimberly through a secret passage that leads to a nearby alley. As they run through the alley, they can hear the hooded figures chasing after them. Backey and Kimberly know they need to find a safe place to regroup with the rest of the group. They decide to head to Deniz's house, as it is the closest and they hope the others will be there. Meanwhile, the rest of the group is also facing their own challenges. Bredy and Brednell are being followed by a suspicious car, and Faith and Baby Love are receiving threatening messages on their phones. They all realize that the Order of the Meat is determined to stop them from exposing their dangerous practices. Backey and Kimberly arrive at Deniz's house, out of breath and filled with fear. To their relief, they find the rest of the group already there, discussing their next move. They quickly fill everyone in on what happened at Backey's apartment and the threats they received on social media. The group realizes that they need to stay one step ahead of the Order of the Meat if they want to expose their dangerous practices and protect themselves. They decide to reach out to their contacts in the media and animal rights organizations for support and to spread the word about the Order. With their determination renewed, the group prepares to face the challenges ahead. They know that their fight against the meat industry and the Order of the Meat is far from over, but they are more united than ever and ready to do whatever it takes to protect innocent animals and bring justice to those responsible. Bredy, Casey, and Kimberly, along with their allies, have exposed the Order of the Meat and are now facing threats and retaliation. Despite their fear, they refuse to be silenced and are determined to stand up for what's right. When they learn that their friend Justin has been attacked by the Order, they set out to find and rescue him. They successfully locate Justin, but the group realizes that they are facing a powerful and dangerous enemy. They continue their fight for animal rights, even as they uncover deeper corruption within the meat industry. With the help of a new ally named Melissa, they gather evidence and plan their next move.

They are aware of the risks involved but are determined to uncover the truth and bring down the Order once and for all. In Chapter 34, Deniz was determined to rescue her friends and put an end to the Order of the Meat's cruel experiments. She knew she couldn't do it alone, so she reached out to Brednell, who had connections with a group of skilled hackers. Together, they devised a plan to infiltrate the Order's headquarters and rescue their friends. With the help of the hackers, Deniz and Brednell were able to gather crucial information about the Order's operations and security measures.

As they made their way through the labyrinthine corridors, they could hear the cries of the animals trapped in the lab. Their hearts ached for the suffering creatures, fueling their resolve to succeed. Finally, they reached the lab and were met with a horrifying sight. The animals were in cages, their eyes filled with fear and pain. Deniz and her team quickly worked to free them, carefully unlocking the cages and comforting the animals.

  • ISBN : 1616366621

Download or read book For Love of Animals written by Charles Camosy and published by Franciscan Media. This book was released on 2013-10-25 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Love of Animals is an honest and thoughtful look at our responsibility as Christians with respect to animals. Many Christians misunderstand both history and their own tradition in thinking about animals. They are joined by prominent secular thinkers who blame Christianity for the Western world's failure to seriously consider the moral status of nonhuman animals. This book explains how traditional Christian ideas and principles—like nonviolence, concern for the vulnerable, respect for life, stewardship of God's creation, and rejection of consumerism—require us to treat animals morally. Though this point of view is often thought of as liberal, the book cites several conservatives who are also concerned about animals. Camosy's Christian argument transcends secular politics. The book's starting point for a Christian position on animals—from the creation story in Genesis to Jesus's eating habits in the Gospels—rests in Scripture. It then moves to explore the views of the Church Fathers, the teachings of the Catholic Church, and current discussions in both Catholic and Protestant theology. Ultimately, however, the book is concerned not with abstract ideas, but with how we should live our everyday lives. Should Christians eat meat? Is cooperation with factory farming evil? What sort of medical research on animals is justified? Camosy also asks difficult questions about hunting and pet ownership. This is an ideal resource for those who are interested in thinking about animals from the perspective of Christian ethics and the consistent ethic of life. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter and suggestions for further reading round out the usefulness of this important work.

A separate section entitled “What Else Can We Do?” suggests ways children can learn more about the vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, such as:“Celebrate Thanksgiving with a vegan feast” or “Buy clothes, shoes, belts, and bags that are not made from leather or other animal skins or fur.” This compassionate, informative book offers both an entertaining read and a resource to inspire parents and children to talk about a timely, increasingly important subject.

Book Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism

Download or read book Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism written by Michael Huemer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After lives filled with deep suffering, 74 billion animals are slaughtered worldwide every year on factory farms. Is it wrong to buy the products of this industry? In this book, two college students – a meat-eater and an ethical vegetarian – discuss this question in a series of dialogues conducted over four days. The issues they cover include: how intelligence affects the badness of pain, whether consumers are responsible for the practices of an industry, how individual choices affect an industry, whether farm animals are better off living on factory farms than not existing at all, whether meat-eating is natural, whether morality protects those who cannot understand morality, whether morality protects those who are not members of society, whether humans alone possess souls, whether different creatures have different degrees of consciousness, why extreme animal welfare positions "sound crazy," and the role of empathy in moral judgment. The two students go on to discuss the vegan life, why people who accept the arguments in favor of veganism often fail to change their behavior, and how vegans should interact with non-vegans. A foreword, by Peter Singer, introduces and provides context for the dialogues, and a final annotated bibliography offers a list of sources related to the discussion. It offers abstracts of the most important books and articles related to the ethics of vegetarianism and veganism. Key Features: Thoroughly reviews the common arguments on both sides of the debate. Dialogue format provides the most engaging way of introducing the issues. Written in clear, conversational prose for a popular audience. Offers new insights into the psychology of our dietary choices and our responsibility for influencing others.
