Is it wrong to buy the products of this industry? A meat-eater and an ethical vegetarian discuss this question in a series of four dialogues. Issues covered include: how intelligence affects the badness of suffering, whether consumers are responsible for the practices of the industry, whether morality protects those who cannot understand morality, whether humans alone possess souls, whether different species have different levels of consciousness, why extreme animal welfare positions "sound crazy", and the role of empathy in moral judgment. The two go on to discuss the vegan life, why people who accept the arguments often fail to change their behavior, and how vegans should treat non-vegans.
