Covering both moral and strategic issues, the "Ethics and Animals" survey will provide a snapshot of our movement as of the present moment. For other information, such as banners and links to the survey in other languages, you may visit the blog of ethiQUEST Surveys, the survey administrator: ethiquest.wordpress.com.
A third of a century ago, when the modern animal-liberation movement was in its infancy, Martin published an essay entitled “A Critique of Moral Vegetarianism,” Reason Papers (fall 1976): 13-43. I suspect that many readers of this blog are Christians but not vegetarians. At no point will we speculate about Martin’s motives.

What I do know is that I feel an urgency for the causes I care about that blogging, baking, giving money and doing TNR work simply doesn't satisfy. I especially like "justice" because it forces you to ask: "Is it morally right to enslave sentient nonhumans, rape them, take their babies and their lives on your own time and profit from them?"
I haven't been able to blog, or, I haven't made it a priority. It's even more offensive than the condescension of believers, who are praying for poor me and my pointless life sans morality. It's exciting to think that there are so many more voices and perspectives than there were three and a half years ago when I started blogging.
’ Ted Floyd is probably best known as the editor of Birding magazine, the informative, handsome periodical of the American Birding Association, and as the author of many ABA Blog posts. (In The sections are also labeled according to the months of the year, the idea being that the book will take us through a year of birding.
Mark Spahn, a longtime reader of my AnalPhilosopher blog, thinks it’s question-begging to use “who” (instead of “that”) to refer to animals. The question (presumably) is whether animals have moral status, i.e., whether the interests of animals must be taken into account in our deliberations. So both usages are question-begging.
Then, click on "Comments" below to answer the question that Keith posed on his personal blog : Has anyone out there met someone who was persuaded to give up eating meat as a result of an argument? Let us hear from you.
Mark Spahn sent a link to this blog. At the risk of being a killjoy, let me say that there should ( morally ) be no zoos. Wild animals belong in the wild. Like humans, they have a right to liberty. They do not exist for our amusement, entertainment, or education.
I began this blog nine years ago today. and anyone else who is interested in the moral status of nonhuman animals. Here is the first post.) In that time, there have been 245,434 visits, which is an average of 27,270.4 visits per year and 74.6 visits per day.
This blog had 2,325 visitors during November, which is an average of 77.5 That is by far the most visitors during any month of the blog's three-year existence. In my view, the moral status of nonhuman animals is one of the most important issues that any of us will confront, and it confronts all of us. visitors per year.
If you would like to post about the symposium on the Animal Ethics blog, please feel free either to link to the recent post at Concurring Opinions or to post something new, perhaps based on the content of the announcement, below. The symposium includes contributions that discuss the moral status of nonhuman animals.
I especially liked your posting from Gardner Williams’ “The Moral Insignificance of the Total of All Value.” I found this very inspiring, and would have never have seen it if not for your blog, so thank you for that. If the majority of your blog readers are animal lovers like me, then I know they’d love my site.
who has occasionally posted comments on this blog) will present a lecture entitled “The Best Kept Environmental Secrets: How We Can Hurt or Help the Planet Every Day.” She specializes in Environmental Ethics, Human-Animal Ethics, and Moral Psychology.

First of all, I would like to thank Keith for inviting me to be a part of this blog. Currently, I do not believe that killing an animal is prima facie morally wrong. I think this is a very powerful moral argument that is compelling to anyone who gives animals moral consideration. Hi there, I'm Jonathan.
It should support a stronger attention in research and teaching and should guide as the latest reference for all those who are dealing with the moral status of animals and related questions. We would be pleased if you would support us by announcing the book in your Blog (Newsletters, Website etc.). We really appreciate it!
If you'll indulge me I would like to compliment you on your blog. Once I put two and two together and realized where my food came from and the moral inconsistency of it all there was no turning back. I'm sure your blog helps many people contemplating vegetarianism/veganism. It is at the top of my list of "daily reads."
If you are like most people, you think that it is seriously morally wrong to contribute to unnecessary animal suffering. Switching to a vegan diet will help you to live your life in accordance with your own deeply held moral values and will, thereby, help you to live an authentic life , a meaningful life of integrity.

Surprisingly, the moral of the story ( as cited by the Brothers Grimm ) includes one aspect that I had never considered: “The moral of this story is, first, that no one, however distinguished he thinks himself, should make fun of a lesser man, even if this man is a hedgehog. but without the bitter taste of losing a race.
According to Wikipedia, “A l owl ife is a term for a person who is considered morally unacceptable by their community” The local Nanhui shrikes are well aware that the word “lowlife” has an owl hidden inside, and mark the appearance of owls in their territory with harsh protests. Not this one though.
Twice in the past 24 hours (once here and once on Stephanie's blog, in the comments )I have come across the following statement: "[insert animal here] are safe from predators, get fed regularly, and are better off on farms than if they were in 'the wild.'" Besides, we have choices.
Somehow, I feel this post about the few pheasants I have seen in China has gotten off to a wrong start – not quite the kind of motivation to blog readers to continue reading this post. I feel that thanking your own baby for moral support in the acknowledgment section of a Ph.D. Wait, does that remind me of anyone? Never mind.
A handful Animal Person readers since May of 2006, when I started this then-daily blog, have asked me if I've read Joan Dunayer. My deconstructions of the language of our relationship with sentient nonhumans in this blog--and the way I approach discussing that relationship--is similar to Dunayer's. Overly generous inclusion?
You may not agree with it… but for millions of people across this nation hunting is a moral thing to do. I did email Jon Gassett with no problem. Vickie Mar 14th, 2011 at 9:06 pm Julie, thank you so much for calling this deadline to attention! I overlooked the date. My letters went out today! It is OK for people to like to hunt.
Company leaders should feel strong enough about their corporate culture mission to post it online for all to see, states a blog post at 6Q , an Australian-based provider of employee engagement efforts through surveys. Watkins, cofounder of Genesis Advisers, in a blog post for Harvard Business Review.
Here is a New York Times blog post about wolf hunting. Peter Singer more broadly examines the moral standing of animals here.) This passage puzzles me: Unsurprisingly, I believe it is wrong to inflict pain and death unnecessarily on a creature capable of suffering.
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. It goes something like this: Yes, I agree that factory farming is morally unjustifiable and ought to be abolished.
As you can tell from this post starting with leaf warblers, the ornithological equivalent of watching paint dry (ok, a bit unfair and not really a good comparison anyway, but hey, write your own blog if you do not like mine). As penitence, they sometimes force themselves to eat items that look as disgusting as possible, as shown below.
For example, without this blog, would you know that the Barn Swallows of Nanhui are now having their own housing boom, ignorant of the overinvestment that has characterized China’s construction industry? Do you really need to have Kai’s birding experience further detailed not just by month but a level below? Yes, you do, trust me.
