Intensive animal farming contributes to greenhouse gases, land and water degradation, biodiversity loss, coral reef degeneration, and deforestation. Raising animals for food causes millions of animals to suffer and be killed, and consumption of meat and animal products is linked with heart disease, diabetes, and various cancers. A global change in the way that animals are treated is imperative, and ethical veganism is the right solution. Ethical veganism avoids all animal products and by-products, but some moral philosophers have framed it in terms of animals having the same fundamental rights as humans, which is controversial. The view that animals have rights is not capable of generating the moral duty to embrace ethical veganism. The answer is to adopt a virtue-oriented approach to the treatment of animals, which enables people to see that raising and using animals for food is unfair, callous, and self-indulgent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 332g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 167 x 325 x 20 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781498590037\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carlo Alvaro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":47482075185402,"sku":"9781498590037","price":38.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1751623889821_book.jpg?v=1751756432","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/ethical-veganism-virtue-ethics-and-the-great-soul-9781498590037","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
