Razor Blades and Moral Philosophers ~ Tim Gier
I’ve been thinking about razor blades and moral philosophers lately.
We are all familiar, no doubt, with the case of David Jentsch, the UCLA research psychologist who allegedly received a threatening note and some razor blades supposedly coated with AIDS tainted…

"The Bible Says So" - by Joan Dunayer SPECIESISM, Old-Speciesist Philosophy, pages 11-12
"The Bible Says So" - by Joan Dunayer SPECIESISM, Old-Speciesist Philosophy, pages 11-12
Many Christians believe that nonhumans exist for human use because the Bible says so. As expressed by one man, "God put us in charge over animals."
Saying that humans are entitled to dominion over nonhumans doesn't make it so. (Some sexist men likewise claim that men are entitled to dominion over women.) Humans wrote the Bible, so it isn't surprising that the…

A Vegan World in 8 Years ~ Tim Gier
Did you know that the world’s current population of human beings is about 6.7 Billion?
That’s a lot of people!
If only 1% of them are vegan, that means that there are 67 Million vegans walking the earth right now. That’s a lot of people too!
So here’s the deal. Every vegan has one year to help one other person become…

Animal Welfare and the Moral Value of Nonhuman Animals ~ Gary. L. Francione
Abstract:
The animal welfare position, which represents the prevailing paradigm for thinking about our moral and legal obligations to nonhuman animals, maintains that animal life has a lesser value than human life and, therefore, it is morally acceptable to use animals as human resources as long as we treat them ‘humanely’ and do not inflict ‘unnecessary’ suffering on them.…

It's Better to Kill Others ~ Tim Gier
It’s better to kill others.
That’s it in a nutshell. That’s all the argument comes down to. That’s all they have to say. There’s no other justification. There’s no other reason or rationale. That is the essence of their world view.…

On Variety in Meaning
As the word “vegan” has fully entered mainstream media during the past five years, it has come to have many different meanings for many different people. For some of us, “vegan” means a strong, lifelong,…

Bad People Do Bad Things ~ Tim Gier
I had someone tell me today that they’d seen a horrific thing on TV the other day. It seems that some “native” people were doing all sorts of horrible things to some primates, vicious cruel things in fact. But, these were “bad” people, or so I was told, and the “good natives” didn’t do those sorts of things.
Good people don’t do bad things.…

Mincing The Myths ~ Barbara DeGrande
We are on a voyage to an uncharted world, trying to develop a new world paradigm, while trying to challenge the old destructive ways of thinking at every turn. When people become aware of the status of animals in the world, of their complete subjugation by human beings, the first instinct is often to find a cause and work on it. While this is an understandable impulse, it usually does little to further the cause of animal rights. These impulses tend to…

On Self Interest ~ Dan Cudahy
Occasionally, vegan advocates are accused by non-vegans of “promoting an agenda” or “forcing our desires on others.” The implication (sometimes made explicit) is that we are promoting “our self-interest.”
The poor reasoning is that since vegans want a vegan world, and therefore strongly advocate for a vegan world, we are promoting “our self-interest” in a vegan world. What such “reasoning” fails to distinguish is 1) the vegan desire to see innocent others fulfill their crucial… Continue
