Pros And Cons Of Godwin

265 Words2 Pages

Godwin, Great post and happy holidays. I enjoyed reading your post and would like to share some of my views. In addition, I do believe that humans have direct ethical duties towards animals especially if they are our pets, livestock, and etc. The bible makes many references to animals as our property and a form of offering to God. There is one reference that leads me to believe that there is a sense of direct care that can be deemed ethical. In Proverbs 12:10 it states whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel. Beast is referred to as a number of animals in the bible, such as, ox, donkey, and sheep. Righteousness is associated with a person who displays moral or justifiable conduct. Overall,

  • Summary Of Jeremy Rifkin A Change Of Heart About Animals

    445 Words  | 2 Pages

    In “A Change of Heart about Animals,” Jeremy Rifkin says “many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we had ever imagined.” By doing so, Rifkin tries to appeal to human emotions through the use of pathos, in order to reflect our current viewpoint to match his opinion. Although animals have cognitive abilities and emotions similar to humans, I have to disagree on the basis that we should not change the way that we normally treat animals because of survival of the fittest and that human lives should be put over animals’. Despite the fact that it seems inhumane to treat animals poorly, it is actually beneficial to the lives of people. Rifkin raises questions such as, “So what does all of this portend for the way we treat our fellow

    According to Jeremy Rifkin’s article, “A Change of Heart About Animals,” research has shown that animals are more similar to humans than originally believed. Through the many studies provided, Rifkin claims the need to provide better treatment towards animals. While animals deserve and could benefit from a more humane treatment than what is currently provided, they may not necessarily require a human-like lifestyle simply because of their similarities to humans.

    Many Americans blindly believe that animals deserve the same rights as humans, but little do they know about the differences between the welfare of animals and the rights of animals. In the article A Change of Heart about Animals, Jeremy Rifkin cleverly uses certain negative words in order to convince the readers that animals need to be given same rights as humans, and if not more. Research has shown that non-human animals have the ability to “feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement and even love” (Rifkin 33). Animals may be able to feel emotions, however this does not necessarily mean that they are able to understand what having rights mean. While humans must accept their moral responsibility to properly care for animals,

    However, ethics do play a role, in that morals is one of the elements that separates us from other animals. I believe that if you kill an animal or plant for food, you should put a majority of it to use in some way. I also believe animals and plants that are grown as a source of food should have as little interaction with humans as possible. We should not eat animals and plants if we are endangering their existence by eating them. As long as animal or plant does not fall into one of these exceptions, then I believe it is ethically permissible to eat

    I will argue in favor of Regan’s principle that non-human animals should have moral rights. Tom Regan, a famous philosopher, proposed the idea “that animals have rights based on their inherent value as experiencing subjects of life” (Regan). For thousands of years, animals have been used for as pets, food, and labor. Throughout the past century, many philosophers, including Regan, have raised arguments on how we, as humans, are treating animals poorly.

  • What Is The Last Meow Persuasive Essay

    591 Words  | 3 Pages

    Animals are great and make our lives better but when they are suffering and all we can do is extend their pain for a few months and pay thousands of dollars it just isn’t worth it. Americans nowadays spend money on tons of things that aren’t worth it, but spending thousands of dollars on dying animals is ridiculous. Furthermore, people even treat their animals as family like for example “Eighty-Three Percent refer to themselves to as their parents pet’s mom or dad” (The Last Meow). As a former pet owner I can say that it is ridiculous how people consider animals as their family and use that to justify spending thousands of dollars to keep them for a few months longer.

    Animal pain which is described by Lewis in two specific ways, one, that human and animal suffering cannot be compared and two, God isn’t actually not concerned for the animals sufferings they experience. Animal resurrection on the other hand is in simple terms that if human can experience this resurrection, then so to should animals. Next is human superiority, which is describing how many humans believe in this hierarchy between different parts of God’s creation, therefore, humans are superior to animals. Lewis however argues the reverse of most humans. The last component of Lewis’ animal theory is human cruelty.

    Animals don’t have the intelligence as high as human beings because of their brain structure. Therefore, it is impossible for them to know humans’ feeling and care about us. It is not the animal’s fault. Animals should not be penalized and killed for our food just because of their inability to care about people. The mental state of animals is similar to the people who have serious intellectual disability.

    (ch.5 pg.47) It all clearly points to the fact that all animals (and humans) have different strengths and different jobs and that they are not equal. This is also the case because some of the animals capabilities elevated their status within their society. This inequality sometimes helped the farm by providing a firm government but often lead to harsh mistreatment of many of the animals.

    In addition, people explains that it is ethical to eat animals because they believe that humans life is more valuable that the lives of the animals. They are using a hierarchy to explain this issue as well as using the food chain to state that it is what is supposed to be. However, we cannot deny that killing an animal is not justifiable. Animals did not do anything to harm us but we are the ones that put them to harm. Hence, the only reason that humans can eat animals is when we do not inflict harm and be the cause of the death of the
