Sacrificing Animals for Humans
Gary Steiner, a Philosopher, author and Professor at Bucknell University, wrote an article November 2009, in the New York Times entitled, “Animal, Vegetable, Miserable.” In the article, Steiner discusses how unethical he considers it to kill animals for human consumption.

He uses strong emotional dialectal to get others to follow his way of life by saying, those that don’t live as he does are immoral human beings. If he had used factual information to provide support for his claims, he would have done a better job at persuading others to join his lifestyle.

Steiner has a broad view of what being ethical is and how people should act to be counted as ethical human beings. The author implies, humans that use products, meats or anything made from the sacrificing of animals are immoral people who must change to become moral like he is. I disagree with the author that it’s morally wrong to kill animals for human use because it’s acceptable in the Bible. Animals eat other animals for survival and humans are animals that do the same. Many of us eat animals
