For this essay, choose one of these prompts:
1) Engaging thoughtfully with multiple relevant readings, consider the ethics of factory farming and/or of using animals for food more generally. You should argue for a positive thesis — but one that is grounded in philosophical argument, not merely in personal thoughts/feelings. You should consider one serious objection to your position and engage with it thoughtfully and fairly.
2) Consider the various views about the moral standing of animals that we’ve covered. Engaging carefully with the relevant readings, argue for one of these views and consider one serious objection to it.
For whichever one, please fully explain everything and constantly reference the book. I will send notes and can send pages from the textbooks too if needed for reference. The textbooks that we have done readings from are: (1) Environmental Ethics: An Anthology, ed. by Andrew Light and Holmes Rolston III, 1st edition. and (2) The Animal Ethics Reader, ed. by Susan J. Armstrong and Richard G. Botzler, 3rd edition. Please cite these with references and flesh out an amazing essay! Also please cite them so that I can go through and check. Thank you so much! Let me know if there are any questions! Also, please don’t cite any outside sources. Just from the books!! Thank you!
