I argue that eating meat is morally good and our duty when it is part of a practice that has benefited animals. The existence of domesticated animals depends on the practice of eating them, and the meat-eating practice benefits animals of that kind if they have good lives. The argument is not consequentialist but historical, and it does not apply to nondomesticated animals. I refine the argument and consider objections.

我们吃肉的道德责任

我认为吃肉在道德上是好的，也是我们的责任，因为它是有益于动物的做法的一部分。家养动物的存在取决于吃它们的习惯，而吃肉的习惯对那些生活得很好的动物有好处。这个论点不是结果论的，而是历史的，它不适用于非驯化的动物。我改进了论点并考虑了反对意见。
