Description:

Every year, billions of animals are raised and killed by human beings for human consumption. What should we think of this practice? In what ways, if any, is it morally problematic? This volume collects twelve new essays by leading moral philosophers examining some of the most important aspects of this topic.

Synopsis:

This volume collects twelve new essays by leading moral philosophers on a vitally important topic: the ethics of eating meat. Some of the key questions examined include: Are animals harmed or benefited by our practice of raising and killing them for food? Do the realities of the marketplace entail that we have no power as individuals to improve the lives of any animals by becoming vegetarian, and if so, have we any reason to stop eating meat? Suppose it is morally wrong to eat meat-should we be blamed for doing so? If we should be vegetarians, what sort should we be?
