- We will start with the history
of factory farming in Holland and
what kinds of problems this has created.
The situation
per animal per province is shown on
maps and illustrated by pictures, clips,
and slides. If you think the situation
in the US is better, please read about
the life
of pigs in America.
Animals and people in the third world
are still and again treated like slaves.
- What slows
down improvements in animal welfare
in general?
- What's wrong
in factory farming? The worst abuses
are summed up here. On our video page
an overview of several abuses (during
international
transport and in the treatment
of animals) in clips. Click here for
a slide presentation
of pictures on Animal Freedom and
other sites (loading photo's (slides)
takes less time than downloading video
clips).
- Animal Freedom's central message concerns
an animal's
right to freedom. We refer to this
article everywhere on our site. You can
click it now if you have skipped it so
far. If you want to compare the concept
of freedom to other concepts as a basis
for animal rights, review the article
'do
animals have rights'?
- When you have decided on a point of
view, check the summary
of our opinions and whether you have
listed all (counter)arguments.
If you are still looking for particular
information, think of a keyword and use
our search
system.

| The introductory
textbook of Rosalind Hursthouse is ideally
suited to newcomers to philosophy and ethical
problems. She carefully introduces the three
standard approaches in current ethical theory:
utilitarianism, rights, and virtue ethics.
She links each chapter to readings from key
exponents such as Peter
Singer and Mary
Midgley and asks students to think critically
about these readings for themselves. Key features
include clear activities and activities, chapter
summaries and guides to further reading. |
