Reading Steven Pinker talk about ethical blindness hits kinda different now.

Dinner im 269 TwoSixNine in Frankfurt. Der Life Burger mit neuem Patty-Rezept war sehr lecker, und ohne Tierausbeutung schmeckts eben einfach besser.

“Consider that animals, like us, have one life. It is their life, their only life, and it is as important to them as our own life is to us.”

📗Lesung von Neo C. zu dem Buch „Tierbefreiung braucht Antikapitalismus“!

Neo C. beschrieb den aktuellen Stand der Tierbewegung: Sie stellt keine ernsthaft revolutionären Ansprüche, sondern versucht vielmehr den Kapitalismus zu modernisieren, ihn tier- und naturfreundlicher zu machen.
Es bleibt die Erkenntnis: Ein veganer Lebensstil, moralphilosophische Apelle und individualistische Konsumkritik allein reichen nicht aus, um dieser Gewalt etwas Wirksames entgegenzusetzen ...

Im Anschluss an die Lesung tauschten wir uns in einer Diskussionsrunde über Fragen, eigene Erfahrungen und mögliche Strategien der Tierbefreiungsbewegung aus. 🗣️

Ein großes Dankeschön an Neo C. für die tolle Veranstaltung und für die wertvollen Anregungen und Ausarbeitungen! 💚🖤

Sind #Specism, Rassismus und Sexismus vergleichbar? Rezension des Buches #AnimalLiberationNow von Peter Singer.

Is ‘speciesism’ as bad as racism or sexism?

We are all complicit in a global farming industry that puts profit before animal welfare — but establishing what moral principles we should be applying isn’t easy, an update of a classic book shows.

Philosopher #PeterSinger, author of #AnimalLiberation is releasing an updated book called #AnimalLiberationNow. Here is an interview he had with #ZoëCorbyn:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/21/philosopher-peter-singer-theres-no-reason-to-say-humans-have-more-worth-or-moral-status-than-animals

I look forward to reading both the old and updated book, and see how much/little has changed. Looks like it will give a bigger spotlight on the #ClimateEmergency aspect in relation to the animal agricultural industry.

A few things I am disappointed about, from a #vegan perspective (#AnnoyingVegan bias incoming):

1. Describing himself as 'flexibly vegan'.
2. Eating oysters (even if oyster farming is apparently an environmentally sustainable industry).
3. His defense of 'consientious omnivores'. Q&A in full:

"Conscientious omnivores oppose factory farming but continue to eat animal products from farmers who treat their animals well and don’t subject them to suffering. Do they get a pass?
Honestly, I can’t show that they are wrong. Assume that the cows wouldn’t have existed if they weren’t going to be sold for their meat and the conscientious omnivores investigate how their food is produced, and can be confident that the animals really do have good lives and are killed painlessly and without suffering – then I think they do get a pass. They’re allies in the movement against factory farming, and a world of conscientious omnivores would produce much less meat and dairy products, with vastly less suffering."

Let me expand on point 3:🧵

Philosopher Peter Singer: ‘There’s no reason to say humans have more worth or moral status than animals’

The controversial philosopher on the importance of updating his landmark book on animal liberation, being ‘flexibly vegan’ and the ethical dangers of artificial intelligence for the non-human world

I am happy to see the #NewYorkTimes opinion piece by #PeterSinger is making the rounds and is being tooted by lots of people here on #mastodon.

A shame he talks about only a reduction in animal meat consumption as opposed to total elimination, but I guess baby steps is the way to get to most normal and nice people. 🤔

Also exciting to see he has an updated book coming out called #AnimalLiberationNow. Something I will be very keen to check out (though maybe I should read the original and compare notes 😂).
