Justice Towards Animals Demands Veganism
Justice Towards Animals Demands Veganism Gary Steiner Adapted from Gary Steiner, Animals and the Limits of Postmodernism: A Vegan Manifesto (Columbia University Press, forthcoming 2012). In November 2009, the Sunday immediately prior to the Thanksgiving holiday traditionally celebrated in the United States, I published an opinion piece in the New York Times entitled ‘Animal, Vegetable, Miserable’. ‘Animal, Vegetable, Miserable,’ New York Times, 22 November, 2009, ‘Week in Review’ 12. The traditional Thanksgiving meal is centred around turkey, and my aim in writing the opinion piece was to challenge the supposed moral legitimacy of the practice of killing and consuming animals such as turkeys. I went so far in the piece as to argue that consuming turkeys and other animals raised in ‘free range’ circumstances is in effect no better morally than consuming animals raised in traditional intensive factory farming circumstances—for, after all, in both cases we kill sentient creatures with lives that are meaningful to them just as our lives are meaningful to us, even if non-human animals such as turkeys cannot, as we humans can, reflect on the ways in which their lives are meaningful to them. I received a torrent of responses to my opinion piece, most of which were from people who were supportive of my views. A small but extremely vehement proportion of the responses was from individuals who excoriated me for my views, typically on the grounds that because many animals kill and eat animals, and because human beings are animals, it is therefore perfectly acceptable for human beings to eat non-human animals. -
A Carnivore's Manifesto
232 BETWEEN THE SPECIES Review of Eat This Book: A Carnivore’s Manifesto Dominique Lestel (translated by Gary Steiner) Columbia University Press, 2016 160 pages, paperback Angus Taylor University of Victoria (retired) Volume 23, Issue 1 Winter 2019 http://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/bts/ 233 Angus Taylor The symbolism of meat-eating is never neutral. To himself, the meat-eater seems to be eating life. To the vegetarian, he seems to be eating death. There is a kind of gestalt-shift between the two positions which makes it hard to change, and hard to raise questions on the matter at all without becoming embattled. Mary Midgley (1983, 27) In Eat This Book: A Carnivore’s Manifesto, French philoso- pher Dominique Lestel sets out to demolish the fundamental claims of ethical vegetarianism (including veganism) and to propose as an alternative what he calls ethical carnivorism. The book is translated from the French by prominent animal-rights philosopher Gary Steiner. In his preface, Steiner—echoing a point made by John Stuart Mill in On Liberty—says, “The best way to test one’s own convictions is to open oneself completely to the challenge posed by one’s most strenuous critics or oppo- nents—to confront doubt rather than to seek to extinguish it...” (xv). Those interested in seeking truth, says Steiner, will pay attention to the challenge posed by this work. I fully agree with the general sentiment. That said, too much of this relatively short book strikes me as less a reasoned chal- lenge than a veritable “Gish gallop” of assertions, characteriza- tions, and questions aimed at ethical vegetarianism, tumbling over each other with little in the way of analysis or argument. -

A Critique of Social Constructivist Excesses in Political Theory
SITUATED ANIMALS: A CRITIQUE OF SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVIST EXCESSES IN POLITICAL THEORY A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Alex Melonas May 2015 Committee: Heath Fogg-Davis (Chair), Department of Political Science, Temple University Jane Anna Gordon, Departments of Political Science and Africana Studies, University of Connecticut Kevin Arceneaux, Department of Political Science, Temple University Joseph M. Schwartz, Department of Political Science, Temple University Lewis R. Gordon (External Member), Departments of Philosophy and Africana Studies, University of Connecticut i ABSTRACT In this dissertation I explore the ramifications of political theory being freed from two opposed extremes of biologism and social constructivism because, ultimately, the human animal is both a biological creature and capable of becoming. While it has been highly significant for humanistic scholars to challenge the governing authority of the “hard sciences” as the prime site of legitimacy in modern scholarship, the position of critique has transformed into one of outright and unqualified hostility. I resist this commitment to show that work at the intersection of the human biological sciences and political theory need not amount to political conservatism or pessimism. To this end, I address two questions with the aim of (re-)situating the human animal as a common property in political theory. First, I explore and challenge the commitments that inform the strict social constructionist thesis. This move leads to a second consideration: what questions are open if we see the problem not as biology, but as biological determinism? I make four arguments in this dissertation. -

An Evaluation of the Theory of Animal Right in Peter Singer
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 9, Issue 9, September-2018 1394 ISSN 2229-5518 AN EVALUATION OF THE THEORY OF ANIMAL RIGHT IN PETER SINGER CHUKWUMA, JOSEPH NNAEMEKA And ELECHINGWUTA KINGSLEY OKECHUKWU ABSTRACT It is glaring that non-human animal have been exploited and annihilated in numerous ways by humans. This is a grave injustice that requires urgent retention and response, so as to protect animal rights and interest from oblivious mind. There are theories in the animal rights literature which have existed for some time now. Some against the protection of animal rights while some for the protection of animal rights. In line with the argument for the protection of animal rights, Peter singer an advocate for animal right protection argues in his book “Animal Liberation” that human should give equal consideration to the interest of animals when making decision to other species. He argued that the interests of every living being are the same. This work aims at examining and assessing the theory of animal rights in Peter singers. It sets out to clarify the absurdity that lovers around the protection of animal rights. This work adopts the philosophical method of analysis and evaluation. It exposes the historical origin of animal rights before the advent of Peter singer and even after him, Thereby using his thought to proffer possible end to the imminent sufferings caused by humans and animals. The only real way to protect animals is to assign them universal right under the theoretical concept of justice- observing animals right seriously means that by virtue of their existence (selfhood) and sentience they possess these right. -
