[VIDEO] Is it OK to Kill Animals for Food?
Spencer Giel
07 April 2017
According to apollconducted in 2016, approximately eight million US adults are vegetarian. The reasons that many vegetarians pose for their meatless diet vary, often including environmental or health benefits. However, what about the simple reason that killing animals for food is not morally justifiable? If the entire planet could survive eating only a vegetarian diet, are we justified in killing millions of animals a year?
In this episode ofWireless Philosophy, Tyler Doggett of the University of Vermont tackles this question. If we do not approve of killing other humans for food (perhaps excluding dire circumstances), why do the majority of us continue to take part in a non-vegetarian diet?
