3 Questions
1. How can Kant say that animals are not self conscious? While that may be true for some, there are others, take dolphins for example, that have their own language and know what's going on around them.
2. Pete Singer talks about how they make veal, and I'm wondering how we as people can even think that it's okay to do something like that to animals. Maybe they aren't self conscious, but what if they are and know what's going on?
3. In an Animal's Place, I think I most agree with the author. He explains that as long as the animals are treated humanely, that it shouldn't matter if we eat meat. Why do people look so far down on eating animals, because I believe that it's part of the food chain and life.
