Confinement, forced feeding, injections of growth hormones, mutilations. To argue by drawing a comparison between 2 (or more) similar things. In order to begin to evaluate these arguments, we must know if theres similarities. Norcross expects everyone to think that what fred does is morally wrong. He then goes on to say that factory meat is exactly the same as what fred does. Is there a moral difference between ffm and what fred does : harm: fred tortures the pups but consumers don"t torture the ffm they purchase. Fred can just hire someone else to torture the animals: knowledge: fred knows about the harm he inflicts upon the pups, but consumers are unaware of the harm of ff practices.
