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.)
