Torturing Puppies, Eating Meat

Here's the article we discussed in class that compared torturing puppies and eating meat from factory farms: "Puppies, Pigs, and People: Eating Meat and Marginal Cases" by Alistair Norcross.

So just because we ran out of time in class doesn't mean we should stop discussing this issue (or any other issue, for that matter). Any more thoughts or questions on this topic? Let us know in a comment to this post.
