A motion at CUP plenary.
Ethics 101
WHEREAS almost all animals raised for meat are treated
in a manner that would be considered a most egregious
and abhorrent form of torture if it were imposed on
human beings;
WHEREAS CUP members consider torture unethical;
WHEREAS CUP has, in the past, aspired to act on and
acted on the premise that it should set an ethical
example for other organizations (e.g. severance pay
for Agent staff);
WHEREAS animals used to produce milk and eggs are also
almost always treated in this egregious and abhorrent
manner;
WHEREAS CUP doesnít have a lot of money, and veggies
are cheaper than meat;
WHEREAS CUP should cut its environmental impact when
it is trivially simple to do so and;
WHEREAS consuming the flesh of animals is a wasteful
and impactful method of food production.
BIRT future CUP-sponsored meals not include meat
unless it is insisted on by prospective consumers of
said meals;
BIFRT if it is insisted upon, that meals with meat
only be provided to those who insist upon it;
BIFRT those consumers of future CUP-sponsored meals
who insist on eating meat be provided with food that
is produced in a manner perceived to cause as little
harm as possible to the animals whose flesh is to be
consumed (e.g. free range eggs, organic free range
beef, etc.).
