Your essay this this week is about the treatment of animals in the United States, and should offer an affirmation of or response to the argument made by philosophy professor Peter Singer, who wrote the following in his book Animal Liberation:
To protest about bullfighting in Spain, the eating of dogs in South Korea, or the slaughter of baby seals in Canada while continuing to eat eggs from hens who have spent their lives crammed into cages, or veal from calves who have been deprived of their mothers, their proper diet, and the freedom to lie down with their legs extended, is like denouncing apartheid in South Africa while asking your neighbors not to sell their houses to blacks.
