Abstract

The main objective of this article is to develop an ethical utility for industrial livestock with an emphasis on zoonotic diseases based on the theoretical framework Peter Singer. With the increase in the demand in the global scope of animal protein, new management methods have been developed that subject animals in situations opposite to well-being. In addition, these changes are responsible for the rise of zoonotic diseases. This is a bibliographic review of the books Practical Ethics and Animal Liberation by Peter Singer and articles searched on the platforms: Scielo, Elsevier and Google Scholar. Conclude that an industrial livestock has a utility within the limits of the research because it generates greater displeasure of pleasure.
