I found points in both Scruton and Singer’s opinion that I agreed with‚ yet neither of them felt completely true to me. Singer speaks of an overall equality between beings based on their potential to feel and suffer‚ rather than cognitive ability. This theory prohibits any slaughter or consumption of animals. Scruton offers the notion of the many different
