What we all "probably know" should probably not be taken for granted.

But yes indeed, the honorable Senator is right: Money is a powerfully motivating force, and can overwhelm other values.

The ethical issue that I am most interested in is human involvement in the exploitation and abuse of animals, with no consideration of the animals' suffering, all for the sake of money or profit.

But the several ethical and aesthetic compromises that go into approving oil rigs in the landscape/seascape are pretty much the same sort of thing.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.
