I it's true I love lording my superiority over a Ceaser salad. But perhaps, when it comes to meat, we are just expressing a not entirely unfounded assumption of categorical difference. Most animals*, as far as can be determined, do not project into the future and do not have a concept of death. The problem of normative parity with human beings is relevant here too.

*Elephants may well have an understanding of death. So treat them like they do.

And while I'm at it, don't eat factory farmed pork or beef -- I just isn't right.


I just finished reading Animals in Translation and am at present re-evaluating the notion of categorical difference. This book is essential for anyone interested in animal cognition.
