Now, there is a new study that has significant advantages of the Bumpus study, though the latter will still be useful in teaching about evolution because of its limitations and the questions it raises. As you know, a lot of birds are killed in the U.S. If so, the frequency of road kill should decline over time.

At least they seem to understand that raising chicks is hard and annoying work and have found at least a partial solution for this problem: “co-operative breeder, up to four individuals attending chicks at one nest, at least three seen to feed chicks” (HBW). And of course, I would have been wrong.

There are two approaches a vegetarian might take in arguing that rearing and killing animals for food is morally offensive. He might argue that eating animals is morally bad because of the pain inflicted on animals in rearing and killing them to be eaten. Or he could object to the killing itself.

So, even if animals are killed painlessly and raised for food in humane ways, it is wrong to kill them. The question is, of course, whether animals do have a right to life. Consequently, the killing of some animals for food, if done painlessly, is not morally objectionable. But this is surely dubious.

I have never been one to advocate the needless killing of animals for whatever purpose. Consider the following quote, &# Falconry involves the use of birds of prey to kill other birds and animals for sport.

Second, it might be argued that although it is wrong to kill microorganisms, it is not obvious that eating them kills them. Neither is it obvious, however, that eating microorganisms does not kill them. Let us suppose that some microorganisms that are eaten are killed, e.g., by the digestive workings of the body.

Not only are they killed in cruel ways, but it is well documented that they are raised in ways that cause them great discomfort and agony.
