如果我们是根据理性和道德定义的,那么即使涉及动物,理性和道德也必须定义我们的选择。例如,当人们说他们太喜欢小牛肉或热狗以至于无法放弃它们,是的,这对农场来说是可悲的,但这仅仅是这样,理性就会听到那种贪婪的声音。我们可以说,使人类人类的原因恰恰是理解动物的苦难比享受的味道更重要。
(If we are defined by reason and morality, then reason and morality must define our choices, even when animals are concerned. When people say, for example, that they like their veal or hot dogs too much to ever give them up, and yeah it's sad about the farms but that's just the way it is, reason hears in that the voice of gluttony. We can say that what makes a human being human is precisely the ability to understand that the suffering of an animal is more important than the taste of a treat.)

马修·斯库利(Matthew Scully)在他的书《统治》一书中认为,作为道德存在,我们的选择应以理性和伦理的指导,尤其是与动物有关。他批评那些优先考虑对动物福利的渴望的人,标记了诸如肠胃的态度。斯卡利(Scully)强调,真正的人类意识到,动物的苦难比我们对愉悦食品的渴望具有更大的意义。

Scully的观点挑战了我们反思我们的饮食选择和伴随他们的道德意义。他断言,要真正人道,我们必须将同情心和理解的重视超过对我们的食欲的满足,这表明我们的思维转变可以导致有关动物治疗的更合理的决定。
