Working Definition · Working Definition episode 12: Animals, with J.P. Andrew · 11 Jul 2026 podcast

If you want to slightly you might think that was cheating because what you're really talking about is is it okay to kill an animal to eat it?

And even and even there I would say yeah, right.

Like if you're in a situation where um your life depends upon killing an animal to to stay alive, that's probably permissible.

Um so yes.

Al although, right?

That uh

I th I do I do think that in most of the conditions that we now find ourselves, um, we probably shouldn't be killing animals to eat them.

Yeah, maybe I don't have a totally subtled, subtle view about that, honestly.

Um, but yeah, I mean, I think what I what I do have a subtle view about is that if you uh if you find yourself in a situation where all things considered it is it is permissible, maybe even obligatory to kill an animal, you should still be trying to do that in uh as pain free a way up as possible, right?

So like, you know, the fact that it's permissible to kill an animal in a given

circumstance doesn't mean that it's permissible to kill the animal in any way whatsoever, right?

Like you're not allowed to torture the animal first and so forth.

Yeah.

But you know, like maybe it's the case that human interests are such that in these sorts of life and death situations it's it's just always permissible to do what you need as a rational human agent to do to stay alive.

Yeah, maybe maybe that's maybe that's the case.

I I'm not um I'm not strongly opposed to thinking that that's the case.

So I I think the I think the human the human being case, we're gonna be on the same page.

I'm I'm entirely prepared to think that there are some there are some acts that you're just not allowed to perform with respect to another human in order to save you know, like if so if you're if you're told that you have to

torture someone for days on end and then kill them or else you're going to be killed.
