Mi name is Felipe Urrutia, I'm 27 year old. I was born on April 29nd 1990, in San Antonio, Chile. I´m from Rocas de Santo Domingo, Provincia de San Antonio, but now I live in Ñuñoa, Santiago, because I study in that city. I study anthropology in Universidad de Chile, currently in the archeology mention. I live with my parents in my house of Rocas de Santo Domingo, and in Ñuñoa, I live in an apartment with the owner and other two tenants.
I'm vegan three years ago. I think this veganism is the ethical approach we must follow today and the future, because it is just and rational. Exactly, non-human animals have our same basic interests (to live, to enjoy, to not suffer), so, applying the principle of equal consideration of ethics, we must respect those interest. But if we want respect to non-human animals, we must repel their expoitation, we must finish to consider them like our property. On the other hand, it is not necessary to continue with the animal expoitation: a vegan diet good planified is absolutely healthy, that is the position of nutrition science.
In this blog I will talk about these matters, relating them with anthropology.
Felipe, I also study anthropology. I find it very interesting what you say about veganism. I do not practice it but I admire your ideals.
ResponderEliminarthanks for your comment, Pía :)
EliminarHey Felipe, we alredy know each other, and what I have to ask is, that if you're a vegan, then you're antispeciesist?
ResponderEliminarYes, we can't talk about veganism without antiespecism. Veganism is not a practise, it is a ethical principle that repel the animal expoitation, because is unfair to treat like resources to non-human animals, while we consider to human subject of rights. By the reasons that I explained and will treat in future post, animals (human or not) have the same basic interests, so to ignore non-human animals interests implies specism
EliminarHi Felipe, i'm glad that you define yourself based in your ideals, beacuse on thus form we can reflect on what we do, or in this case we eat or consume.
