Tut tut, Kymar; remember that being a philosophy professor has no bearing on one's logical consistency, or even one's humanity. Many philosophy profs are indeed 'moral monsters' themselves, to borrow stockoptionist's phrase. Peter Singer at Princeton for example:
============
From the man who proclaimed that killing month-old newborns is perfectly moral but eating a turkey sandwich is tantamount to murder comes the declaration that sex between humans and animals can be a wonderful experience. Princeton Professor Peter Singer called for tolerance for bestiality in an article in which he graphically describes an octopus performing sex acts upon a woman and men engaging in the marital act with barnyard hens. Of this latter practice, the Ivy League prof. waxes, "But is it worse for the hen than living for a year or more crowded with four or five other hens in [a] barren wire cage so small that they can never stretch their wings, and then being stuffed into crates to be taken to the slaughterhouse, strung upside down on a conveyor belt and killed?" All of this would be laughable if not for the fact that Princeton energetically recruited [this nitwit], provided him [with] an endowed chair, and houses him in its Center for Human Values. Why an enthusiast of bestiality, infanticide, and equality between humans and animals would be hired as the featured professor in a "Center for Human Values" has not been explained. Contemplating that humans, like dogs, monkeys, apes, and elephants, are mammals, Singer concludes: "This does not make sex across the species border normal, or natural, whatever those much-misused words may mean, but it does imply that it ceases to be an offence to our status and dignity as human beings." Speak for yourself, Professor.
