Here is a Guest Essay I did for vegan site, Ecorazzi.com: Veganism as a Matter of Justice: A Short Reply to the Welfarists When I promote the position that veganism is a moral imperative (veganism is something we are morally obligated to do) and that justice requires that we be vegan, some welfarists respond: “But […]
Animals are chattel property. It costs money to protect their interests.
