Narrative: Case study 27.7 summary
News article excerpt: An exploratory study asked roughly 300 Australian students whether they approved or disapproved of certain uses of animals.Researchers concluded that students frequently condemned consumptive practices while endorsing consumption itself.For example, nearly three-fourths of the students disapproved of "force-feeding geese to make their livers swell up to produce pate for restaurants" but the majority did not disapprove of "eating pate produced by the force-feeding of geese." The authors interpreted these findings as evidence of an inconsistency between people's attitudes and behaviors toward the use of animals.
