Henry Stephens Salt (1851-1939) was an English writer and campaigner for social reform in the fields of prisons, schools, economic institutions, and the treatment of animals. He was a noted ethical vegetarian, anti-vivisectionist, socialist, and pacifist, and was well known as a literary critic, biographer, classical scholar and naturalist. It was Salt who first introduced Mohandas Gandhi to the influential works of Henry David Thoreau, and influenced Gandhi's study of vegetarianism.Salt is credited with being the first writer to argue explicitly in favour of animal rights, in his Animals' Rights: Considered in Relation to Social Progress (1894)Arguments for vegetarianism: moral, scientific, economic, health, social, and aesthetic. Amazingly comprehensive, devastating critiques of 31 anti-vegetarian arguments (some so silly they are humorous, but many of these arguments still in use).The arguments or claims made by opponents of vegetarianism: (1) Consuming eggs and diary products contradicts the meaning of "vegetarian."(2) There is no difference between roasting an ox and boiling an egg.(3) Vegetarians who do not immediately and completely shun all animal products are hypocrites.(4) No great empires (Roman, British) were ever founded by vegetarians.(5) Human canine teeth prove the necessity of flesh-eating.(6) The human stomach is much different than that of true herbivore.(7) History shows that humans are omnivorous. (8) Vegetarianism is contrary to the laws of nature, red in tooth and claw; to kill is natural.(9) It is necessary to destroy life in order to live.(10) Raising food animals in pleasant conditions and killing them painlessly is not cruel.(11) Eating animals is no worse than using them for labour.(12) The rapid death of food animals is preferable to the agonising death of humans. (13) Food animals, free of the fears and dangers experienced by wild animals, are happier.(14) It is better for animals that we use them for food than that they do not exist at all.(15) Vegetarians who eat eggs and diary products are inconsistent.(16) Consistent vegetarians could never kill lice or germs.(17) Flesh-eating is just as aesthitic as vegetarianism.(18) Vegetarians are sentimentalists. (19) Meat eating is necessary for strength.(20) Flesh-food is easier digested than vegetarian food.(21) Flesh diet is necessary in cold climates ("What would become of Eskimoes if all became vegetarians?").(22) What difference does it make whether we eat flesh or non-flesh, so long as the spirit in which we eat be a proper one?(23) Vegetarianism is economically impractical.(24) Vegetarianism is an inconvenient diet.(25) Eating flesh is necessary for developing a manly spirit.(26) How could we exist without leather? Soup? Candles?(27) How could land be fertilised without manure from food animals?(28) If the life of animals be regarded as sacred as human life, civilisation will revert to a primitive condition.(29) If we turn loose all the food animals they will over-populate, overrun the land, starve, lie dead on highways and in the suburbs.(30) We were given permission by God to eat animals.(31) Vegetarians do not give sufficient priority to more important social reforms (war, poverty, etc.).

Mr. Salt's object was to prove the logical soundness of vegetarian argument, and so well written and so clever and logical was his book that it immediately ranked with the best of vegetarian propagandist literature. It is an excellent book which all vegetarians should read. There is a word on the first page which has missed revision. Mr. Salt writes: "the propaganda carried on for the last fifty years." The "fifty" should be "eighty," for thirty-three years have elapsed since Mr. Salt wrote the paragraph, and his book has been a not unimportant factor in vegetarian propaganda during that period. -- E.A., The Vegetarian Messenger and Health Review.

PREFACE In preparing this "Logic of Vegetarianism" for a new edition, I have carefully re-read a sheaf of press opinions which greeted the first appearance of the book some seven years ago, with the hope of profiting by any adverse criticism which might point out arguments that I had overlooked. In this, however, I have been disappointed, for, apart from a few such objections as that raised in all seriousness by the Spectator-that I had not done justice to the great problem of what would become of the Esquimaux-the only definite complaint which I can find is that the representatives of flesh-eating whom I have introduced in the dialogues are deliberately made to talk nonsense. "It is easy," said one critic, "to confute an opponent if you have the selection of the arguments and the framing of the replies." I ought not, perhaps, to have expected that the assurance given in my introductory chapter (p. 2) as to the authenticity of the anti-vegetarian pleadings would shield me from this charge; indeed, the Vegetarian Messenger, in a friendly review of the book, expressed doubt as to the policy of using dialogue at all, because, as it remarked, "the arguments against vegetarianism are often so silly that it looks as if the author had set up a man of straw in order to demolish him." Yet, as the Messenger itself added, "there is not an argument against vegetarianism quoted in this volume which we have not, time after time, seen seriously brought forward by our opponents." Surely it would be a strange thing if food reformers had to avoid any terse presentment of their adversaries' reasoning for the very fact of its imbecility! And there is this further question. If I have failed to include in my selection the effective arguments against vegetarianism, where and what are they? Looking through those cited in the press notices, I can discover none that seem to be formidable; but rather than again be suspected of unfair suppression, let me frankly quote the following specimens of the beef-eater's philosophy: "The proof that man should eat meat is that he always has done so, does now, and always will." And again: "Nobody will want to make out that he (the advocate of vegetarianism) is wrong, but folk will just go on suiting themselves as before. Shelley and Thoreau, Wagner and Edward FitzGerald, were vegetarians, but, then, Wellington and Gladstone partook of the roast beef of Old England, and were none the worse." There is a sublime simplicity about these statements which is most impressive, but I cannot think that any wrong is done to the case against vegetarianism by not including them in a discussion which purports to be a logical one.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... THE HUMANITARIAN ARGUMENT It will have been noted that the anti-vegetarian arguments which have so far come under review have been mainly such as are based on purely materialistic grounds, as if the question were wholly one for doctors and scientists to decide; and it has been shown that, even thus, there is no sort of warrant for the supercilious dismissal of vegetarianism as a theory condemned in advance by some superior tribunal. But the question is not one for the ipse dixit of the specialist. It is also a moral question of very great moment, and this fact gives a new significance to such unwilling admissions as that made by the British Medical Journal, that "man can obtain from vegetables the nutriment necessary for his maintenance in health "--i.e., from vegetables only, much more, therefore, from a vegetable diet with the addition of eggs and milk. The practicability of vegetarianism being thus fully granted, it is impossible to pretend that moral considerations are not relevant to the controversy, and that in forming an opinion on the vexed problem of diet we should not give due weight to the promptings of humaneness. People often talk as if the humanitarian plea were some fanciful external sentiment that has been illogically thrust into the discussion; whereas in truth it is one of the innermost facts of the situation which no sophistry can escape. Our humane instincts are unalterably implanted in us, and we cannot deny them if we would; to be human is to be humane. "There is something in human nature," says an old writer, * "resulting from our very make and constitution, which renders us obnoxious to the pains of others, causes us to sympathise with them, * Wollaston, " Religion of Nature," 1759. and almost comprehends...

This book examines the ethics, politics and aesthetics of veganism in contemporary culture and thought. Traditionally a lifestyle located on the margins of western culture, veganism has now been propelled into the mainstream, and as agribusiness grows animal issues are inextricably linked to environmental impact as well as to existing ethical concerns. This collection connects veganism to a range of topics including gender, sexuality, race, the law and popular culture. It explores how something as basic as one’s food choices continue to impact on the cultural, political, and philosophical discourse of the modern day, and asks whether the normalization of veganism strengthens or detracts from the radical impetus of its politics. With a Foreword by Melanie Joy and Jens Tuidor, this book analyzes the mounting prevalence of veganism as it appears in different cultural shifts and asks how veganism might be rethought and re-practised in the twenty-first century.
