Student’s Name Professor’s Name Subject Date Is Killing Animals wrong? It is a way of life for animals to eat other animals for food. Humans as omnivorous can eat other animals which are a fact of life and ethical since it maintains the proper food chain. However it is unethical to take the life of another human being because humans are made in the image of God (Bratanova Boyka Steve Loughnan and Brock Bastian pg.193-200 2011). According to Biblical principles it goes against the commandments to kill another human being however it is not reserves there is the need to provide meat as a source of food to maintain our existence. In conclusion despite the fact that taking a life is illegal killing an animal for food is an ethical obligation as omnivorous and our natural means of survival.

Order Description:
Why is killing animals wrong? Take a position on this question, taking special note of the considerations raised in chapter four and five of Singer's book. You must settle whether the same moral judgments should apply to all animals (both human and non-human), or whether a distinction should be struck between human animals and non-humans animals (and, if so, why that distinction matters). You must also settle why killing is wrong in each of the relevant sorts of cases. (Your discussion MUST take into account at least some of the arguments entertained by Singer. Of course, you may disagree with Singer, if the think his arguments are flawed--but still, you must react to some of those arguments.)
