ABSTRACT. I want here specifically to dispute the vegan or moral vegetarian position. I continue my argument defending speciesism and against the idea that animals have rights, though not against treating animals with a certain kind of moral considerateness. I also argue that using animals for human purposes is not always morally wrong. pp. 20–33

Keywords: animal rights; human being; interest theory
