Indran commented on the article |i'm in agreement with you alex, though i sometimes wonder whether these heavily ethos- and logos-centric appeals are worth the trouble. i know few people who've gone vegan as a result of immersion in anti-speciesist philosophy. no matter how sound the arguments, it's ultimately idealism, which perhaps has little chance of influencing the average person's day-to-day choices. then again, this site is designed for activists, for idealists. and i suppose ethos-based criticism of animal rights is best refuted on its own terms...
anyway, i kinda hate to be so tangential in such a fertile discussion as this, but i've been thinking about intersections of animal rights and cultural/ethnic studies lately, and i can't resist posing this question to y'all: a few people here have mentioned Inuits and other sustenance hunters as rare examples of humans whose flesh consumption is OK. although their bodies could presumably tolerate the transition to a vegan diet, nutritious vegan options are simply not available where they live. they have no choice.
when such individuals need humanitarian aid (or even when they don't), should NGOs offer them foreign, plant-based meals, out of respect for the seals, the gazelles, the jungle fowl? or is this western imperialist bullshit? -
