But I Think The Majority Of Cows,

It Would Be Nonsense To Say That It Was Not In The Interests Of A Stone To Be Kicked Along The Road...a Stone Has No Interests Because It Cannot Suffer. The Capacity For Suffering And Enjoyment Is, However, Not Only Necessary, But Also Sufficient For Us To Say That A Being Has Interests - At An Absolute Minimum, An Interest In Not Suffering. A Mouse, For Example, Does Have An Interest In Not Being Kicked Along The Road Because It Will Suffer If It Is.

Becoming A Vegan Is A Sure Way Of Completely Avoiding Participation In The Abuse Of Farmed Animals. Vegans Are A Living Demonstration Of The Fact That We Do Not Need To Exploit Animals For Food.

Bush Sees The Evil As Out There In The Wider World, Residing In People Who 'hate Freedom'. Look At His Immediate Response To The Pictures Of Prisoner Abuse; This Is Not What Americans Do, These Are Not Our Values.

Even In The Era Of Aids, Sex Raises No Unique Moral Issues At All. Decisions About Sex May Involve Considerations About Honesty, Concern For Others, Prudence, And So On, But There Is Nothing Special About Sex In This Respect, For The Same Could Be Said Of Decisions About Driving A Car. (in Fact, The Moral Issues Raised By Driving A Car, Both From An Environmental And From A Safety Point Of View, Are Much More Serious Than Those Raised By Sex.)

Pain And Suffering Are In Themselves Bad And Should Be Prevented Or Minimized, Irrespective Of The Race, Sex, Or Species Of The Being That Suffers. How Bad A Pain Is Depends On How Intense It Is And How Long It Lasts, But Pain Of The Same Intensity And Duration Are Equally Bad, Whether Felt By Humans Or Animals.
