The HSUS isn't even anti-hunting ! Perhaps it is the industry's inability to evolve morally that is behind the times. They do appear to wish to put an end to what they believe are the worst abuses of institutionalized animal agriculture, such as gestation crates and veal crates, but that's hardly a call to end animal agriculture.

I do not share the extreme vegetarian view that food reform is the foundation of other reforms, for I think it can be shown that all cruelties to animals, whether inflicted in the interests of the dinner-table, the laboratory, the hunting-field, or any other institution, are the outcome of one and the same error—the blindness which can see no unity (..)

Moral philosophers began to regard it as an obvious truth that it is wrong to treat animals cruelly. It should be observed, however, that if our analysis of the situation is correct, then this change in moral attitude resulted in a restriction of rights rather than an extension of them.

Here are three paragraphs from a recent essay by Roger Scruton : As I suggested, science provides authority for this weird morality only when clothed in moral doctrine. They put less weight on our “moral emotions,” such as embarrassment, remorse, guilt, and penitence. They’re comparatively undemanding.

When it is asked whether animals have rights, and whether human beings have duties to them, the question, I think, is partly moral and partly verbal. Let us consider the moral question first. Similar considerations, I suggest, apply when we ask whether it is proper to say that animals have moral rights.

Couzens lays out his rationale for species selection in the introduction, and it seems quite sound, producing a book with a wide range of species from around the world engaging in all sorts of behaviors, from nest parasitism to communal hunting to torpor to, in the case of the Southern Cassowary , kicking the occasional human interloper to death.

Dunayer devotes a chapter each to the language used in hunting, zoos, "marine parks," vivisection and "animal agriculture." An animal's own terms are 'Don't hunt me'" (49).

There's not enough evidence for an accusation of moral relativism, but for me the message is a mixed one. Some have tried to resolve this gap by hunting or butchering an animal themselves, as if those experiences might somehow legitimize the endeavor of eating animals.

Moral philosophy is no substitute for political action. It is simply projustice, insisting only that the scope of justice be seen to include respect for the rights of animals. How we change the dominant misconception of animals—indeed, whether we change it—is to a large extent a political question. Still, it can make a contribution.
