The prior existence a view is to that we behave or act in way that increases the pleasure in the existing animal’s life. This view gives pattern that it is wrong to kill animals for our own pleasure to make food. According to this view, we need to provide opportunity to enjoy pleasure in their lives. This point of view, encouraging the awareness to protect animals provided them safe environment.
The total view is to that we have to increase pleasure in this world. One way to increase the capacity by producing more individual’s persons who can enjoy the pleasure. The total view is largely used to protect the right to eat animals throughout the world. The argument presented is that formers brought up these animals in the farming houses. So,

This argument is defended by the Total view, which gives us suggestions that killing animal for utility pleasure is not bad. Infect it will increase pleasure worldly life. This pleasure provides advantage, happiness and benefit. The ethical objection grows that human being killing animals for their own pleasure to eat meat. The replaceability argument provides solution to the ethical objection in the form of replacement. This means if a one animal is killed for human pleasure is replaced with another animal. So, this argument clearly justified the killing of animal endorsing the Total views.
[Question_7]
Morally it is wrong to eat non human animals because there are many alternatives for human beings available in this world. If animal is the only way of human food consumption then it is justifiable but in this case many other solutions available. It is very painful to kill any creature for human pleasure. In my point of view it is totally immoral to killing of non human animals because if human being had accident bleed for few minutes is really painful to bear same like shredding animal’s blood is not bearable as

He build his argument that if you are living peaceful and comfortable life while other people dying because of hunger, poverty and you didn’t care about them then it is terribly with our attitude it is against the morals. He said that if something which in our control we can make difference with our small sacrifice then we should needs to do it. We can reduce the level of death cause famine in various parts of this beautiful world. He urges to participate in famine relief funds for sacrificing small portion of our luxury life.
I believed that Singer’s way of thinking is absolutely fabulous. I fully endorsed his position in this regard because if we support in famine relief fund then we may be save many lives. We may be doing know someone personally but that is possibility that he or she is whole house guardian. We can save someone’s brother, husband and son etc, with this small effort and sacrifice. A rich nation’s should need to participate and take such revolutionary steps to make this world better place for the human
Singer’s utilitarian theory points out his main arguments for his statement “If it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance, we ought, morally, to do it” (375). He supports this by suggesting that were are morally obligated to prevent bad no matter the “proximity or distance” , “the number of other people who, in respect to that evil, are in the same situation we are” and that we ought to prevent hunger by sacrificing only their luxuries, which are of lesser moral importance (378). This meaning that we shouldn’t limit our aide to only those that we can see or that we know because morally there is no different between our obligation to them and our obligation to those overseas. Also, we should limit our aide to what we think ...
Singer presents his argument specifically in terms of famine relief and, although it has broader applicability, the discussion mostly falls under this specific topic. Thus, he conforms his argument around aspects relevant to famine and/or poverty when laying out his three core premises.
Bentham, an act utilitarian, created a measurement called hedonic calculus that calculates if an action is wrong or right by determining factors like intensity and duration of pleasure. Singer strains on the importance of the act by the number of people affected from it. He believes that every human being is equal. Therefore, geographical and emotional closeness is irrelevant to moral responsibilities. He states that “death from lack of food, shelter, and medical care are bad” and that if you disagree “read no further” because it would be hard to convince anyone otherwise (P. 231 Singer). He argues that if we can prevent bad things from occurring without “sacrificing anything of moral importance” it’s our moral obligation to act on it (P.231 Singer). What is not clear is as to how much we should give, as we should keep in mind that not everyone in the world gives aid to famine relief so we must take that into account. Singer then tries to make it easier on us by stating that instead of negotiating something of comparable ethical significance in his second premise, it can be of any moral significance. He also believes that if one is to ignore a duty to aid others then he or she is no different than an individual who acts wrong. This is because he believes that it is our moral responsibility to do good deeds and people dying is wrong
Singer's argument appears to be mainly an appeal to logos, in his argument he reasons why he thinks it is morally required of people to give for famine relief and other needs. However, his argument relies heavily on pathos as well. The main thrust of his argument is this “If I am walking past a shallow pond and see a child dro...
Famine, Affluence, and Morality; Singer suggested, “we should prevent bad occurrences unless, to do so, we had to sacrifice something morally significant” (C&M, 827). However, different philosophers and writers have criticized his view and the general idea to help the poor.
In his article, the author Peter Singer presents valid points within his work in a way that provokes one to question their morals and ethics. He rationalizes the gift of donation in an unconventional but motivating manor. The purpose of “The Singer Solution to World Poverty” is to encourage people to reevaluate his or her ability to contribute to the underprivileged people of the world. Singer is addressing this article to any person with the ability to donate. The author makes it clear that nearly everyone has the ability to make a difference is others lives. Additionally, in “The Singer Solution to World Poverty”, the author explain that we have a duty to give, but he is not stating whether it is a duty of justice in Narveson’s sense. He is not stating if would be morally correct for anyone to force us or impose to us to give to the needy. This author is trying to persuade or convince people to give voluntarily. The author is not enforcing to do something, this is contrary to Narveson’s position “enforced fee”. “The Singer Solution to World Poverty” addresses the urgency for a more generous world. Peter Singer presents valid points within his work in a way that provokes one to question their morals and ethics. He rationalizes the gift of donation in an unconventional but motivating manor.

The ethical system that I propose has the goal of what is ultimately good for human beings. The ultimate good of human beings lie in going beyond their individual needs because instinctually animals strive to fulfill their individual bio-organic ne...
Michael Pollan presents many convincing arguments that strengthen his position on whether slaughtering animals is ethical or not. He believes that every living being on this planet deserves an equal amount of respect regardless of it being an animal or human, after all humans are also animals. “An Animal’s place” by Michael Pollan is an opinionated piece that states his beliefs on whether animals should be slaughtered and killed to be someone’s meal or not. In his article, Pollan does not just state his opinions as a writer but also analyzes them from a reader’s point of view, thus answering any questions that the reader might raise. Although Pollan does consider killing and slaughtering of animals unethical, using environmental and ethical
Upon the grounds that sentient beings can experience suffering, we should attempt to reduce or eliminate this suffering where possible. Both the intensive farming and killing of animals involves suffering, therefore, we should not
In this paper I will argue in favour of author’s cessation, on account of reasonable grounds examined in the reading. Firstly, the techniques that are used in hunting are morally unacceptable as they aggregates cruelty towards animals. Many animals suffer painful and prolonged deaths when they are only injured but never recovered by hunters. Further, for instance in “wing shooting” hunters use to blast the doves i.e. Birds of peace into pieces and about 20 % of birds are left crippled and untretrieved and in “Contest kills” live animals are killed in front of cheering crowd for money and prizes.
There has been considerable controversy and debate over the years amongst philosophers as well as those outside philosophy on the issue of the ethicality of eating meat and whether vegetarianism is the solution. In essence, vegetarianism is the voluntary act of abstaining from consumption of meat and in some cases, by-products of animal abattoir. This practice commonly stemmed from the abhorrence of the cruel practices in livestock, poultry, dairy farming and also fish farming. For those who enjoy eating meat, this brings about a conflict of interests of whether human interests should be seen as greater than animal interests. To some, answering this question will grant us a greater understanding of the nature of human beings and the appropriate limits of our moral obligations while to others, this would be imperative in justifying certain human practices towards animals.
Understanding this concept can help us to make use of our natural features and kill animals for justifiable reasons. OK, but what is meant by justifiable? reasons. What are the reasons? In Islam there are very few justifiable reasons as animals are considered as the creation of Allah and so must be treated equally.
...dable, then the harm should be little and justified. It is clear that eating meat is morally unjustified because animals have a moral choice, but they are incapable of controlling their behavior. This leads to a one sided argument because only humans have the ability to make moral choices. Thus, humans should make choices that treat animals with dignity, conserve the environment, safeguard animal’s rights, do not cause pains to animals, and are morally, religiously, and legally right. By making such decisions, humans will not be morally justified to take meet because previous paragraphs discuss every point mentioned in the previous sentence. For instance, it is clear that animals are moral patients, and humans should use their position as moral agents to make a choice of not eating meat. Therefore, it sufficed to deduce that it is morally impermissible to eat meat.
Unnecessary stress and casualties are placed upon animal populations for the pleasure of man under hunting
