ABSTRACT

Posthuman ethics of Grace requires nothing more than leaving all animals alone; in interacting with them, in thinking them, in involving them at all with a human world. When nothing is overcome, everything arrives as part of posthuman experience, a connective, traversive, ecosophical ethics. Against all claims we need to rethink animals, the only gracious ethics of nonhuman relation is to absolutely cease all thought which includes animals. Ethics never mistakes the I can for the I must or become involved in the question tennis which oscillates endlessly between the why and the why not. Posthuman ethics begins toward the nonhuman with the I will not' which creates the I am not all' thus I am not so the other may be'. Any focus on the vegan rather than the operation is independent of ethics. Vegans want nutritious vegan pet food for their rescues, industry wants pet food resulting from animal slaughter and testing.
