4.9/5 (34378 ratings)

Description:A new collection offering provocative and often counterintuitive conclusions on the ethics of meat eating.In a world of industralized farming and feed lots, is eating meat ever a morally responsible choice? Is eating organic or free range sufficient to change the moral equation? Is there a moral cost in not eating meat? As billions of animals continue to be raised and killed by human beings for human consumption, the significance and urgency in answering these questions grow.This volume collects twelve new essays by leading moral philosophers who attempt to solve the ethical dilemma of meat eating by examining various implications and consequences of our food choices. Some argue for the moral permissibility of eating meat by suggesting views such as farm animals would not exist and flourish otherwise, and the painless death that awaits is no loss to them. Others consider more specific examples like whether buying french fries at McDonalds is just as problematic as ordering a Big Mac due to the action's indirect support of a major purveyor of meat. The Moral Complexities of Eating Meat is a significant contribution to the ongoing debate on meat consumption and actively challenges readers to reevlaute their stand on food and animal ethics.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
