  • ... that the philosopher Andy Lamey challenges "new omnivorism", according to which it is permissible to eat animals even if they have moral status? "Many philosophers have argued that farm animals belong to the moral community, and hence, deserve protections from human-caused harms. A common thought is that animal protection entails or otherwise encourages the practice of refraining from eating meat. If we care about protecting animals from harm, the thought goes, we should refrain from eating them. Proponents of New Omnivorism challenge this idea, arguing that animal protection entails that it is morally permissible or even obligatory to eat animals. Andy Lamey’s book, Duty and the Beast, offers the first, book-length criticism of the new omnivorist position(s)." -- Christopher Bobier

  • Nominated the same day the article was created. The article is long enough, neutral, cited and without copyright problems. The hook is straightforward and descriptive, but the concept and terminology are intriguing enough to make it hooky. QPQ is done. Ready for DYK! Ffranc (talk) 09:47, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

University of California Faculty

[edit]

On the Wikipedia category page for University of California, San Diego faculty, this page is listed under A for Andy when it should be listed under L for Lamey. I don't know how to fix that. Overall this article is very good, especially on animal rights issues. I hope someone in the animal rights WikiProject nominates it for good article status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Porphyry Jones (talkcontribs) 04:04, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Porphyry Jones: Thanks for the note! Good spot on the category; you fix it like this. I think it's a little off GA-ready yet, but maybe a few more hours work could get us there. Josh Milburn (talk) 09:34, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian citizenship?

[edit]

There's nothing here to indicate that Mr. Lamey is (or was) Canadian, but I did note that in this article that he identifies as an expat of Canada, so I'll accept that he is/was. It would be good for this article to indicate where he was born and raised, if that's possible. Regards, PKT(alk) 15:34, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
