We're discussing animal ethics with author Hal Herzog. In a follow up to our pets episodes, we look at how we treat animals very differently depending on whether we think of them as pets, food, or work animals. Why do some cultures eat cows and others don't? Why do some cultures not have pets at all? And is it okay to breed animals like dogs that have significant health problems even though we love them? Herzog is the author of <a href="http://halherzog.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It's So Hard to Think Straight About Animals.</a>
