They wrote that in a fair and just world, “there would be no pets at all, no fields full of sheep, and no barns full of pigs, cows and egg-laying hens. There would be no aquaria and no zoos.”
“If animals matter morally, we must recalibrate all aspects of our relationship with them. The issue we must confront is not whether our exploitation of them is ‘humane’ — with all of the concomitant tinkering with the practices of animal-use industries — but rather whether we can justify using them at all,” they concluded.

Rutgers law professors are slavers.
Worst. Slaves. EVER.
He’s struggling to get his 15 minutes of fame.
My animal friends are free to leave whenever they choose. It is their appreciation of having their basic needs met and the companionship they find with me and each other that keeps them around.
Clearly these elites have never experienced inter species friendship.
Lynn-Dah-The-Chowbrador would beg to differ.
Not only does she have a dedicated staff of one (ME) who feeds her, drives her around, gives her a lovely bed to sleep in, and exercises her daily.
I also sing to her, but she is losing her hearing.
had sex once, but I backed out after a month and told her the truth.

Indeed, this Bozo never met my daughter’s cat.
Start with an insane premise, then follow it doggedly to a lunatic conclusion. That’s modern academia.
When I was a kid, “Rutgers law professors” were smart people. I wondered what happened. The dumbing down of American education?
Just a college prank isn't it, or otherwise they are IDIOTS!
Awfully sorry about that last post. It was a cut and paste from another thread.
He’s doing this for publicity and lib cred.
As 2016 winds down, you have a challenger.
Gary Francione and Anna Charlton have picked a subject they cannot defend. Clearly a case of “Publish or Perish”........
Thank you for the Biblical quote. I almost got there;)
Then I wondered how much tuition the students pay for this garbage. Probably not quite as much as my vet bills;)
My cats rearrange the blanket to suit themselves on what I once thought was my bed and I must position myself just so or they’ll sit there with looks of slight annoyance on their faces. They wake me at 7 every morning demanding their breakfast and each must have their own bowls placed in their own specific places. At 7 I must turn off the a/c (Texas summers) off so the backdoor can be opened so they can wander in and out most of the day. Come mid day when us humans are sweltering in the hot Texas summer, the door gets shut and the a/c comes on. When they get too hot outside, they’ll meow at the door to be let in so they can snooze under the ceiling fan and the best a/c vent in the house. They let me know in no uncertain terms if their box needs cleaning and when the bottom of their food bowl starts to show. If their collars fall off, they bring them to me to put back on immediately. Dad’s shoes aren’t for putting on his feet but containers for the critters they bring in. Someone is up and down all afternoon and evening letting them in and out and in and out and in and out. Books, computers, sewing machine, newspaper, or whatever must be set aside for belly rubs and back scratches. When they come in at night, they line up on the coffee table demanding treats.
And then there’s the dogs.
Now, explain to me who’s the slave.
Canids have been living with humans for tens of thousands of years. The interaction was initiated by the canids.
I say listening to Rutgers law professors is a form of torture, and should not be endured by me or my pet dog.
I therefore call for all Rutgers law professors to be freed out into the wild, away from the terrible responsibilities of teaching and paychecks, and spend the rest of their lives eating little berries, chewing on leaves and drinking out of what puddles they can find.
That might be too good for them, but I am a kind-hearted person.
The assault on natural rights includes the detachment of the concept of rights from the human species altogether. Rights are moral rules enjoining persuasion as against coercion, and there is no way to applying morality to the amoral or persuasion to the non-conceptual. An animal needs no validation of its behavior; it does not act by right or by permission; it perceives objects, then simply reacts as it must. In dealing with such organisms, there is no applicable law, but the law of the jungle, the law of force against force.
By its nature and throughout the animal kingdom life survives by feeding on life. In a rational morality man's life is the standard of value. To demand that man sacrifice the requirements of his life to the "rights" of animals is to deprive man himself of the right to his life.This is extreme irrational altruism in action.
