This New York Times column has to rank as the worst thing I've read. The author fails to distinguish legal rights from moral rights, fails to distinguish the question whether animals do have legal rights from the question whether they should have legal rights, fails to analyze the concept of a right (i.e.,

If the goal is not moral perfection for ourselves, but the maximum benefit for animals, half-measures ought to be encouraged and appreciated. Mr. Steiner rightly rejects this view as morally flawed.

But it's also remarkable in that Roger Cohen, a 50-something man who writes for the New York Times, wonders: But do pigs have any more or less of a soul than dogs? If you eat meat you cannot logically find it morally or ethically repugnant to eat a particular meat (I’m setting cannibalism aside here.).

Doesn’t he realize that he does not have to engage in this voluntary activity, which causes moral conflict for himself and suffering for the animals? Kristof’s thoughtful exploration of animal rights, I was astonished to read that he continues to eat animals, like geese and pigs, for which he obviously has such affection and respect.

I’m tired of hearing people who enjoy killing justify it with specious moral platitudes. He says meat tastes more precious when you’ve watched it die. May I recommend a trip to a slaughterhouse? Animals suffer when killed. No pearly phrases can make that any better. MARIE BROWN Baldwin, N.Y.,

Let chickens be chickens, and avoid the whole moral dilemma by going vegan. Though chickens can live for 5 to 11 years, after two years, they are hauled away to slaughter just like battery-caged hens. All of the male hatchlings are either smothered or ground up alive.

Kelly New York, May 21, 2007 To the Editor: Thank you for publishing Nina Planck’s excellent article, “Death by Veganism.” It’s appalling that anyone would think that a diet based on a dubious morality would build a human infant. Children need protein. George Mazzei St. Petersburg, Fla.,

In this morning's New York Times editorial " There Is No 'Humane' Execution ," we have an imperfect yet nevertheless baby step toward acknowledgment of the HumaneMyth.

You may not agree with it… but for millions of people across this nation hunting is a moral thing to do. Cats Are Still Public Enemy Number One, For Birds The New York Times and Tweety have it absolutely correct. .&# And then you seem to have no tolerance of a voice that that has a different viewpoint.

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.

We like going into the office,” one of the workers told The New York Times. As a result, employers are morally responsible to help their workers maintain strong mental health as well as physical well-being. We come from a company that has a really strong culture. And we all hang out and are friends outside the office.”.
