By Wednesday, please read and write a detailed response to this short article:

“Reasonable Humans and Animals,” John Simmons:
http://sites.google.com/site/nobisphilosophy/veg.pdf


Also, re-read Singer's "All Animals Are Equal."

Please also read, in EMP, section 7.4 in the chapter on Utilitarianism entitled "Third Example: Nonhuman animals." This section might have a different number and pages in your version of the book: what's important is that you find the section on animals and read it carefully. 

We will watch these two short videos over the next few class periods.
