Animal Ethics

SEPTEMBER 8, 2009

Here is a New York Times blog post about wolf hunting. Peter Singer more broadly examines the moral standing of animals here.) While this belief might not compel us to be vegetarians, it does demand significant changes in the way we raise animals for food, and it forbids wolf hunting as a form of entertainment.

It takes a slightly different take on vegetarian advocacy—trying to quantify the effects of single meal decisions to protect the environment and improve animal welfare. At this point we're emailing websites and blogs that have related themes, our goal being to get the word out that the site exists.

Hello, I saw your blog and thought you might be interested in visiting my new forum. I've set a spot aside for interest in animals and animal issues. It's not a vegetarian forum, but I am interested in getting all sides in the animal debates (I guess I'd be called a moderate). The site is www.globechat.org.

Price Foundation, among others, are currently debating the question “Are Vegetarians Healthier?” As always, we’d love if you spread the word by blogging or linking to the debate. Since you’ve expressed interest in our past debates, I thought I’d let you know about a discussion that just launched. PETA and the Weston A. See it here.

Meat eaters (and even some lacto-ovo-vegetarians) think this way because they mistakenly think that vegans eat an austere, bland diet consisting mostly of twigs and seeds with occasionally some plain tasteless tofu thrown in. If you want to see just how delectable vegan food can be, check out the Walking the Vegan Line blog.

This blog has a new member: my former (and perhaps future) student Jonathan Hubbell. You may think it odd that I would invite a student to blog here, but actually I think it will be exciting. He can even write about personal things, such as his attempt to become a vegetarian. Maybe he’ll share some recipes! Stay tuned.

Now that 2008 has arrived, I'd like once again to encourage new and old readers alike to make this the year that they stop supporting animal cruelty in all of its forms. If you currently eat meat, make a commitment to reduce your consumption of animals in January and stop eating them altogether in February.

Jonathan Hubbell, a philosophy major at the University of Texas at Arlington, is the newest member of the Animal Ethics blog, and once again, I would like to welcome him aboard. In his fresh and candid first post (available here ), Jonathan admitted that he is struggling with the issue of ethical vegetarianism.
