In "Eating Animals," Jonathan Safran Foer highlights a troubling imbalance in how we perceive rights and protection under the law. He emphasizes that while misusing a corporation's logo can lead to severe legal consequences, corporations often face little to no accountability when they harm countless animals. This disparity indicates a societal norm where animal welfare is sidelined in favor of corporate interests, reflecting a broader issue regarding the lack of recognition for animal rights.

Foer points out the absurdity of how society's values are aligned, where treating animals with respect and acknowledging their rights is deemed radical, yet exploiting them is accepted. This inconsistency prompts a deeper reflection on our ethical responsibilities toward other living beings and challenges us to reconsider the accepted norms surrounding animal treatment in our world.
