The protest against meat eating may turn out to be one of the most
significant movements of our age. In terms of our relations with
animals, it is difficult to think of a more urgent moral problem
than the fate of billions of animals killed every year for human
consumption. This book argues that vegetarians and vegans are not
only protestors, but also moral pioneers. It provides 25 chapters
which stimulate further thought, exchange, and reflection on the
morality of eating meat. A rich array of philosophical, religious,
historical, cultural, and practical approaches challenge our
assumptions about animals and how we should relate to them. This
book provides global perspectives with insights from 11 countries:
US, UK, Germany, France, Belgium, Israel, Austria, the Netherlands,
Canada, South Africa, and Sweden. Focusing on food consumption
practices, it critically foregrounds and unpacks key ethical
rationales that underpin vegetarian and vegan lifestyles. It
invites us to revisit our relations with animals as food, and as
subjects of exploitation, suggesting that there are substantial
moral, economic, and environmental reasons for changing our habits.
This timely contribution, edited by two of the leading experts
within the field, offers a rich array of interdisciplinary insights
on what ethical vegetarianism and veganism means. It will be of
great interest to those studying and researching in the fields of
animal geography and animal-studies, sociology, food studies and
consumption, environmental studies, and cultural studies. This book
will be of great appeal to animal protectionists,
environmentalists, and humanitarians.
