Ethical vegetarianism is the thesis that killing and eating animals is morally wrong whenever equally nutritious plant-based alternatives are available. The case for ethical vegetarianism starts with several uncontroversial premises. And there are ethical reasons for becoming vegetarian. Ethical synergy at work.

Hey there, Just discovered your nice blog on animals and ethics. www.nytimes.com/dotearth I'm going to add Animal Ethics to my blogroll. I've touched on relevant issues off and on, but most specifically in a 2004 piece on arguments for and against whale hunts. A very under-appreciated arena.

If we examine the arguments on the basis of which the existence of direct duties to animals has been denied, we are compelled to conclude regretfully that most of these arguments are sophistical—indeed, they are so threadbare that we find it surprising that they could be advanced by people who claim to be schooled in scientific method.

I suspect that many regular readers of Animal Ethics are already vegetarians. That's because those who read Animal Ethics with regularity know that there are many compelling reasons to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. This precept is variably stated as follows: Avoid killing or harming any living being.

An animal has his proper work to do in the world, his own life to live, as surely as a man; and those who scoff at this idea, and deny individuality to animals, should remember that there was a time, under the Greek and Roman civilization, when it was held to be doubtful whether a slave , in like manner, had any claim to be regarded as a person.
