Utilitarian Calculations

“It is possible to argue, using (Peter Singer’s) utilitarian calculations, that the deaths of thousands of people (in the World Trade Center) whose trivial consumer satisfactions included the imposition of fundamental misery and death on hundreds of thousands of chickens reduced the amount of pain and suffering in the world.”
– Karen Davis, UPC

Sounds perfectly logical to me… Kevin Atkinson is attempting to persuade me of his anti-animal rights views and has directed me towards https://www.animalrights.net/ (site no longer exists).
