How should we regard animals, and what moral obligations do we have toward them? In this Ultimate Issues Hour, Dennis Prager explores the proper relationship between human beings and animals, examining animal rights, cruelty, hunting, farming, eating meat, and the distinction between human and animal life.

Dennis argues that animals should be treated humanely and never subjected to unnecessary suffering, while maintaining that animal life is not equivalent to human life. He discusses biblical teachings concerning the treatment of animals, the purpose of animal sacrifice, bullfighting, factory farming, and the importance of recognizing the seriousness involved in taking an animal’s life.

Through listener calls and thoughtful discussion, Dennis considers whether animals can be morally accountable, why cruelty to animals may reflect broader moral problems, and how modern society’s emotional attachment to animals can blur important distinctions.
