Commentary #7: An Up-Close and Personal Encounter with Moral Schizophrenia

Posted by Gary L. Francione in Blog, Podcast

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Dear Colleagues:

I refer to the delusional and confused way that we think about animals as a social/moral matter as constituting “moral schizophrenia.”

I had a recent encounter with moral schizophrenia in dealing with a deer who had been hit by a car and the hunters who stopped to help the deer.

In this Commentary, I describe and discuss what happened.
