(Donovan is adopting an "animal standpoint theory." On standpoint theory more generally, see the IEP's discussion: http://www.iep.utm.edu/fem-stan/#SH7c).
We won't meet again after Monday. For your final written assignment, which you can send to me on email anytime this coming week (deadline Friday, May 4), I want to do something different. Rather than a critical or academic essay, please answer the following two-part question concerning your own life and anticipated choices in any fashion you would like, in a couple of pages or so, making reference to the literature or not:
What are your moral obligations -- if you recognize any -- to nonhuman domesticated animals (such as cows, pigs, turkeys, and chickens), and how to you plan to meet them? (If you do not recognize any, please explain that in some depth.)
