This week’s Big Questions session tackles issues surrounding animal ethics. Do animals have any rights that we should recognize as universal? Should we value wildlife and pets according to different rubrics? Is it okay to eat animals? Under what circumstances is not acceptable to eat them? This topic was inspired by Nihir’s recent Devil’s Dilemma post about a New Zealand economist who has recommended a on ban cats in order to protect the many endemic and endangered species of birds in his country.
Join us in West Duke 103 for snacks and conversation Monday, February 18th from 3:30 until 5pm. No RSVP is necessary; this event is free and open to everyone.
