An objective, analytical discussion on the choice of vegetarianism for moral reasons, was written by Michael Martin of Boston University in 1976. It is publicly available today on the internet as it is on the American ‘Reason Papers’ website. Michael Martin’s article is titled ‘A Critique of Moral Vegetarianism’ and it runs to 43 pages including footnotes/references.
I haven’t read it all yet but will do so when the silly season peak has passed. I suggest anyone else interested in discussing vegetarianism (and veganism) chosen for moral reasons, also reads it. Though written 35 years ago it remains relevant.
