Analyzing morality associated with animals

Reference no: EM1378868

Question1. Is it morally preferable to be vegetarian than to eat meat, poultry, and eggs produced in factory farms? Do conditions in those farms impose a moral duty to adopt a vegetarian diet? Why or why not?

Question2. Are there any reasons why humans' interests should count more than the interests of non-human animals? If so, can we conclude that a human's desire to eat a cheeseburger morally "trumps" a cow's interest in not being slaughtered? Why or why not?

Question3. "The corporation farms are just giving the customers what they want!" "We are a capitalist society, so of course businesses will try to produce the most meat at the lowest cost possible!" Do these statements support the conclusion that factory farming practices are moral? Or do they provide grounds for concluding that consumer wishes and our capitalist economy bear some responsibility for unethical treatment of animals?
