RESUMO
The anthropocentric vision of ethics just acknowledges the value deriving from the benefits animals and the natural physical environment may offer human beings. This anthropological vision is defended in an attempt to promote a differentiated moral status to human beings and thus fragmenting the ethical debate. However, when one desires to act ethically, it is deemed necessary to embody the inclusion criteria in the moral community to the debate presented by animal ethics, environmental ethics and human ethics. Global ethics seeks a criterium of moral consideration able to satisfy the formal demands of ethics, i.e., universality, impartiality, generality, as well as the substantial demand, i. e., the benefits to those who may be affected by the interests of the moral agents for being in the condition of vulnerability. The main purpose of this thesis consists of demonstrating the externalities of the human activity of industrial production of poultry and pigs for slaughter and its consequences for the lives of human beings, animals and its impact on the physical natural environment. The most powerful arguments for the elaboration of global ethics, analysing the proposals of Kenneth Goodpaster, Peter Singer, Michael W. Fox (human, animal and environmental ethics) and Tom Regan (moral rights) are presented. The moral consideration criteria, sentience and inherent value are chosen to sensitize and generate an impulse strong enough to jolt human beings out of their moral inertia. For that purpose, it is attempted to demonstrate the importance of overcoming the food paradigm, starting out from the questioning of daily habits, in an attempt to overcome the limit of psychological perception for the need of ethical acting.
