Leesfragment
€13,99
Every
cow
just
wants
to
be
happy.
Every
chicken
just
wants
to
be
free.
Every
bear,
dog,
or
mouse
experiences
sorrow
and
feels
pain
as
intensely
as
any
of
us
humans
do.
In
a
compelling
appeal
to
reason
and
human
kindness,
Matthieu
Ricard
here
takes
the
arguments
from
his
best-sellers
Altruism
and
Happiness
to
their
logical
conclusion:
that
compassion
toward
all
beings,
including
our
fellow
animals,
is
a
moral
obligation
and
the
direction
toward
which
any
enlightened
society
must
aspire.
He
chronicles
the
appalling
sufferings
of
the
animals
we
eat,
wear,
and
use
for
adornment
or
"entertainment,"
and
submits
every
traditional
justification
for
their
exploitation
to
scientific
evidence
and
moral
scrutiny.
What
arises
is
an
unambiguous
and
powerful
ethical
imperative
for
treating
all
of
the
animals
with
whom
we
share
this
planet
with
respect
and compassion.
