The Zouma Brothers Have Been Sentenced. Now What About the Rest of Us?

June 3, 2022/in Blog /by Gary L. Francione

West Ham footballer Kurt Zouma pled guilty to violating the Animal Welfare Act by kicking and slapping his cat and causing the cat “unnecessary suffering.” His brother, Yoan Zouma, who plays for Dagenham and Redbridge, filmed the incident and was accused of abetting, counselling or procuring Kurt to violate the law. Kurt was sentenced to do 180 hours of […]

Abortion and Animal Rights

May 3, 2022/in Blog /by Gary L. Francione

I advocate for the rights of animals. I argue that, if animals have moral value and are not just things, we are obligated to stop using animals as resources. It’s not just a matter of not causing animals to suffer. Although sentient (subjectively aware) animals certainly do have a morally significant interest in not suffering, […]

THE RSPCA SHOULD PROSECUTE ITSELF

March 17, 2022/in Blog /by Gary L. Francione

The RSPCA is starting the process of prosecuting West Ham United’s Kurt Zouma for slapping and kicking his cat, and his brother, Yoan, who plays for Dagenham and Redbridge, for filming the incident. What the Zoumas did was clearly wrong. They inflicted harm on the cat without any justification; the cat was not threatening them in any […]

Do We Have an Obligation to Eat Animals? No.

February 14, 2022/in Blog /by Gary L. Francione

The history of human thinking about animal ethics is littered with a great many examples of smart people engaging in reasoning that is anything but smart in order to justify continuing to exploit animals. Indeed, animal ethics provides what might be the greatest example of how self-interest — in particular gustatory self-interest — can deaden […]

Kurt Zouma and All Nonvegans and Benedict Cumberbatch: Perfect Together

February 9, 2022/in Blog /by Gary L. Francione

English Premier League football player Kurt Zouma is in big trouble. He kicked and slapped one of his cats. He has been fined £250k by West Ham, the team for which he plays. The cat he kicked and slapped, and another cat he has, were taken from him by the RSPCA, which is investigating him […]

The Real Reason For Interest in Plant Sentience Has Nothing to Do With Plants

July 26, 2021/in Blog /by Gary L. Francione

I. Plants: They React; They Don’t Respond Every now and then, the internet lights up with the most recent claim that new evidence indicates that plants are sentient; that is, that they are conscious and have some sort of mind and are relevantly similar to animals. The evidence on which these claims are based establishes at most […]

Teaching Children Not to Harm Others: Who Counts as “Another”?

June 13, 2021/in Blog /by Gary L. Francione

“I take my veganism very seriously. I certainly hope that my kids will be vegans. I intended to educate them about the immorality of animal exploitation, and I hope that they will make the right choice. But I cannot impose my beliefs on them, and force them to vegan. I will support whatever choice they […]
