Topics
Annie Lowrey:关注动物在宰杀前的待遇比单纯避免吃肉更重要。选择高福利肉类比吃鸡蛋和奶制品更好。如果关心动物,第一步不一定是避免吃肉,而是关注动物在被宰杀前的待遇。人们更容易关注个体动物的痛苦,而难以感知大规模动物痛苦的累积效应。如果选择食用动物产品,就应该了解这些产品的来源和动物的生存状况。减少肉类和奶制品的摄入量,是改善动物福利的一种简单易行的方法。减少对动物产品的需求,会影响供应链,从而对动物福利产生积极影响。 主持人:长达50年的动物权利和素食主义运动并未显著增加美国素食者的比例,这说明劝说人们改变饮食习惯非常困难。人们不愿意被告知自己的行为不道德,这使得素食主义运动难以推广。Annie Lowrey 的报道并非以说教的方式劝说人们素食,而是以好奇和开放的态度探讨人们对动物的同情心边界。改进食品系统,可以更容易地引导人们做出更人道的选择,就像推广节能灯一样。素食主义者关注的并非仅仅是杀戮行为本身,而是整个食品系统对动物造成的痛苦。
