Discuss the implications of meat-eating nonhuman animals in relation to moral consideration.
- Is it morally permissible to raise and kill animals to eat them in our society, where nutritious alternatives to animal foods are readily available?
- If we were somewhere where there were inadequate non-animal foods, would that make a difference to the morality of using animals for food?
- Which ethical theory (utilitarian, social contract, Kantian, etc.) is most consistent with your outlook on consuming animals?
