Abstract
The relationship between people and animals is morally
complex. This complexity stems from our ambivalent
treatment of animals and is nowhere better captured than
in the consumption of meat. Meat eating is morally problematic
because it contrasts our desire to avoid hurting
animals with our appetite for their flesh. This tension – to
love animals and to love meat – is the essence of the meat
paradox.
