Abstract The concept of “Ecofeminism” roots from the two terms, ‘ecology’ and ‘feminism’, making the idea a realm which showcases the parallelism of implications born by ecology and feminism, from the male section of the society.
The weight and eminence of the notion can be easily deduced by the multiple interpretations and extensions of the concept of ecofeminism by the renowned philosophers like Karen Warren, Val Plumwood, Andrea Dworkin and many more.
By applying the methodology of philosophical exegesis, comparative textual analysis and critical analysis and synthesis, this paper tries to bring forward and discuss the extension of the concept of ecofeminism to the concept of Animal Ethics.
With special reference to nuances of the use of language, specially metaphors, and prevalence of non-vegetarianism, the paper tries to put light on the meeting grounds of exploitation and maltreatment that is done to animals and women. After doing the critical analysis of the information available about the concerned topic, it aims to know, firstly, if ‘vegetarianism’, as a solution to the problem at stake, is efficacious and practical or not. Secondly, if ‘only’ vegetarianism is a solution to the epidemic or do other potentially more effective resolutions can be thought of as well.
