Foer’s vivid description of bloody slaughter in killing floor reveals the cruelty in the animal industry, at the same time evokes criticism on inhuman treatment and terrible living condition animals received.

However, the innate things such as trees, animals, both human and non-human do not have expressive ability that people can understand. Rights activist people and groups continue to elicit mixed reactions due to their call for fair treatment of such animals. Sentience and self-consciousness It is difficult to realize the latent prejudice in the personal attributes towards particular groups until

Kant vs Mills in Animal Rights In this essay I will cover the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill. I will begin by covering Kant perspective of rational beings and his idea of a priori learning. I will then move on to his idea of categorical imparaitive. After Kant I will discuss Mill’s utilitarian theory regarding pleasure and pain. With a better understanding of those I will move to Mill’s idea of a posteriori and hypothetical imperative. Following the ideas of these philosophers

Side of Animal Testing Every year, a multitude of animals of all different shapes, sizes, and species are taken from their homes. These animals are subjected to animal testing, the use of animals in order to gain control over the variables that affect our bodies behavior. People are taking these animals from their homes to research and study things that could easily be tested using alternate methods. So a very important question stands, why do corporations continue to test on animals? Due to

dissension as to whether animals are capable of suffering. One supporter of the theory that animals can’t suffer is Peter Harrison. Harrison states that while humans and animals react similarly to stimuli inducing pain, pain-behavior is not necessary for or contingent upon the experience of pain. Amoeba display pain-behavior, but they do not have nerves, neurons, brains, etc. Therefore, it’s unreasonable to think that they feel pain the same way we do. Although higher-level animals do have these bodily

His main argument boils down to, we ought to extend to nonhuman animals the same equality of consideration that we extend human beings. Now whether or not eating meat is morally justifiable is a good question. In this paper, I will argue that it is not morally justifiable to eat meat, however with the exception of a few alternatives. The immorality of killing an animal for its flesh is morally

discussion on Singer’s, “All animals are equal” made me very interested in Singer’s arguments. There were many topics which I agree with him, like the suffering of all beings deserving of equal consideration. Most people are speciesist and speciesism is morally wrong. However, I nonetheless find myself from time to time conflict with him. One of the argument he claimed that the anguish of a creature does not merit measure up to view as the agony of a human. But, all the animals have interest, which means

Animal testing, although extremely debated, is something that should no longer be practiced anywhere around the world. Let’s start by taking a look at just how much animal testing is practiced in the United States as well as in other countries. The article called, “Animal Use Statistics” from the Humane Society International, says, “Only a small proportion of countries collect and publish data concerning their use of animals for testing and research, but it is estimated that more than 115 million

View of Animal Rights Should animals be harmed to benefit mankind? This pressing question has been around for at least the past two centuries. During the early nineteenth century, animal experiments emerged as an important method of science and, in fact, marked the birth of experimental physiology and neuroscience as we currently know it. There were, however, guidelines that existed even back then which restricted the conditions of experimentation. These early rules protected the animals, in the
