Reeves from scans generously made available by the Internet Archive "Why I Am a Vegetarian" by J. Howard Moore is a philosophical discourse on vegetarianism, presented as an address delivered before the Chicago Vegetarian Society in the late 19th century. This book advocates for a compassionate lifestyle that recognizes the rights and welfare of non-human beings, suggesting that ethical living extends beyond human boundaries. It challenges the societal norms surrounding diet and animal rights, aiming to influence the reader’s perspective on exploitation and morality. In this thought-provoking text, Moore reflects on the moral implications of consuming animal products and argues that a vegetarian diet is not only possible but also preferable for maintaining a just and respectful existence. He asserts that the act of eating meat is fundamentally a form of exploitation, equating it with broader social injustices. Throughout his address, he elaborates on the kinship between humans and animals, supporting his arguments with philosophical insights and historical references. Moore ultimately calls for a deeper understanding of our responsibilities toward all sentient beings, promoting vegetarianism as a logical and ethical choice aligned with the principles of empathy, justice, and solidarity.
