THINK Debate : To V or not to V: the ethics of eating meat

Can eating meat ever be ethical?

That’s the question we’re asking in our first THINK debate of 2019.

TELL ME MORE…
We know veganism is a fast-growing movement – some say the fastest growing social justice movement in the world - and many of us are reducing our meat intake.

Why?
Well, there are lots of reasons: animal welfare, environmental concerns and health issues to name a few.

But there are also people who believe eating meat can be done in a way that is responsible, resourceful and ethical.

In this talk, we’ll hear the case for and against eating meat.

Are you ready to have your say?
