Meat is one of the most common portions of a human meal today. According to 2009 and 2010 census statistics, the United States is among the world's leading producers and consumers of meat, including beef and chicken.1 In contrast, there is no human meat census because no one consumes it. he. However, human meat and horse meat are the same because they are meat from a body capable of suffering, as Singer proposed. Therefore, in the story of Mad Max, the moral distinction that can be drawn is unwarranted for many reasons. Peter Singer would agree with me on this point, as he suggests in his text "The Case for Animal Liberation" that some modern tactics used to kill animals cause enormous pain to non-human animals. These animals are imprisoned and tortured while they are being prepared as meals for humans. Others argue that there is nothing wrong with eating meat, mainly because they do not understand the pain the animal feels. Yet, as previously stated, these animals experience cruelty and suffering. Would a human being be willing to go through the same suffering and pain? Would a human being be ready to see a hammer come to his throat? Would a human being be willing to die knowing that he will be eaten for pleasure? I can almost certainly guarantee that the answers to these questions will always be NO. In the Mad Max story, we see that Pig Killer had died on purpose because he was tired of his life and wanted meaning. We can infer from the story that consuming human animals is not considered moral because Max did not eat human flesh but chose to eat horse meat. If humans are not willing to give...... middle of paper ...... about considerations. To Singer's arguments, Cohen has nothing to say but simply states that these assertions are offensive. I strongly believe in the points Singer makes and support his thinking that animals should be given equal consideration because some rights that matter to us also matter to them. In the story of Mad Max, we can conclude that the choice Mad Max made to not eat human meat and instead choose Dink dog food was unjustified because eating horse meat in my eyes is equivalent to to eat human meat because animals are deprived of human rights. they deserve.
