Ethics and the Beast: A Speciesist Argument for Animal Liberation

Synopsis

Without Defending It, Ethics And The Beast Claims That Speciesism Is Fully Compatible With Liberation. Even If We Believe That We Should Favor Humans When There Is A Pressing Human Need At Stake, Zamir Argues, That Does Not Mean That We Should Allow Marginal Human Interests To Trump The Life-or-death Interests Of Animals. As Minimalist As It Sounds, This Position Generates A Robust Liberation Program, Including Commitments Not To Eat Animals, Subject Them To Factory Farming. Or Use Them In Medical Research.
