Culture Peter Singer's new book makes a compassionate case for your Thanksgiving turkey. Published November 23, 2024 When it comes to the morality of eating animal meat, human beings make many dubious distinctions. Cows make delicious steaks and burgers, but we are horrified at the thought of horse meat. Cats and dogs roam freely inside our houses, yet pigs get made into bacon.
