Scruton on Eating Animals
I just read Scruton’s snobbish treatise on the place of animals in the natural order. Apparently he feels authorized to declare that “animals have no rights” based on his idea that “(a) creature that cannot recognize the rights of others cannot claim rights for itself.”
Scruton seems to be just such a creature. Of course, he may have to get off his armchair to see that.
