动物权animals and their rights

动物权animals and their rights

Animal rightsThere is much disagreement as to whether non-human animals have rights, and what is meant by animal rights.There is much less disagreement about the consequences of accepting that animals have rights.The consequences of animal rightsAnimal rights teach us that certain things are wrong as a matter of principle, that there are some things that it is morally wrong to do to animals.Human beings must not do those things, no matter what the cost to humanity of not doing them.Human beings must not do those things, even if they do them in a humane way.For example: if animals have a right not to be bred and killed for food then animals must not be bred and killed for food.It makes no difference if the animals are given 5-star treatment throughout their lives and then killed humanely without any fear or pain - it's just plain wrong in principle, and nothing can make it right.Accepting the doctrine of animal rights means:•No experiments on animals•No breeding and killing animals for food or clothes or medicine•No use of animals for hard labour•No selective breeding for any reason other than the benefit of the animal•No hunting•No zoos or use of animals in entertainmentTop The case for animal rightsPhilosophers have usually avoided arguing that all non-human animals have rights because:•the consequences are so limiting for humanity•it would give rights to creatures that are so simple that the idea of them having rights seems to defy common senseThe second problem is dealt with by not arguing that all animals have rights, but only that 'higher' animals have rights.One leading author restricts right to mentally normal mammals at least one year old (called 'adult mammals' from now on).The case for animal rightsThe case for animal rights is usually derived from the case for human rights.The argument (grossly oversimplified) goes like this:•Human animals have rights•There is no morally relevant difference between human animals and adult mammals•Therefore adult mammals must have rights tooHuman beings and adult mammals have rights because they are both'subjects-of-a-life'.This means that:•They have similar levels of biological complexity•They are conscious and aware that they exist•They know what is happening to them•They prefer some things and dislike others•They make conscious choices•They live in such a way as to give themselves the best quality of life•They plan their lives to some extent•The quality and length of their life matters to themIf a being is the subject-of-a-life then it can be said to have 'inherent value'.All beings with inherent value are equally valuable and entitled to the same rights.Their inherent value doesn't depend on how useful they are to the world, and it doesn't diminish if they are a burden to others.Thus adult mammals have rights in just the same way, for the same reasons, and to the same extent that human beings have rights.TopThe case against animal rightsA number of arguments are put forward against the idea that animals have rights.•Animals don't think•Animals are not really conscious•Animals were put on earth to serve human beings•Animals don't have souls•Animals don't behave morally•Animals are not members of the 'moral community'•Animals lack the capacity for free moral judgment•Animals don't thinkSt Thomas Aquinas taught that animals acted purely on instinct while human beings engaged in rational thought.This distinction provided the frontier between human beings and animals, and was regarded as a suitable criterion for assessing a being's moral status.Animals are not really consciousThe French philosopher Rene Descartes, and many others, taught that animals were no more than complicated biological robots.This meant that animals were not the sort of thing that was entitled to have any rights - or indeed any moral consideration at all.Animals were put on earth to serve human beingsThis view comes originally from the Bible, but probably reflects a basic human attitude towards other species.Christian theologians developed this idea - St Augustine taught that "by a most just ordinance of the Creator, both their [animals'] life and their death are subject to our use."St Thomas Aquinas taught that the universe was constructed as a hierarchy in which beings at a lower level were there to serve those above them.As human beings were above animals in this hierarchy they were entitled to use animals in any way they wanted.However, as C.S. Lewis pointed out:Animals don't have soulsChristian theologians used to teach that only beings with souls deserved ethical consideration.Animals did not have souls and therefore did not have any moral rights.This argument is no longer regarded as useful, because the idea of the soul is very controversial and unclear, even among religious people. Furthermore it is not possible to establish the existence of the soul (human or animal) in a valid experimental way.This also makes it difficult to argue, as some theologians have done, that animals should have rights because they do have souls.Top Animals aren't 'moral'Some of the arguments against animal rights centre on whether animals behave morally.Rights are unique to human beings•rights only have meaning within a moral community•only human beings live in a moral community•adult mammals don't understand or practice living according to a moral code•the differences in the way human beings and adult mammals experience the world are morally relevant•therefore rights is a uniquely human concept and only applies to human beings Animals don't behave morallySome argue that since animals don't behave in a moral way they don't deserve moral treatment from other beings.Animals, it's argued, usually behave selfishly, and look after their own interests, while human beings will often help other people, even if doing so is to their own disadvantage.Not all scientists agree: Jane Goodall, an expert on chimpanzees has reported that they sometimes show truly altruistic behaviour.Animals don't have rights against other animalsAnother reason for thinking that animals don't behave morally is that even the most enthusiastic supporters of animal rights only argue that animals have rights against human beings, not against other animals.For example, as Mary Warnock put it:Why this might be relevant to the question of whether animals should have rights becomes clearer if you rephrase it in terms of duties or obligations instead of rights and ask - why should human beings have obligations towards animals, if animals don't have obligations to other animals or to human beings?Top Moral communityThis argument states that animals are not members of the 'moral community'.• A moral community is• a group of beings who live in relationship with each other and use and understand moral concepts and rules•the members of this community can respect each other as moral persons •the members of this community respect each other's autonomy•human beings do display these characteristics and are therefore members of the 'moral community'•animals do not display these characteristics and are therefore not members of the 'moral community'•most people would agree with this: after all we don't regard a dog as having done something morally wrong when it bites someone - if the dog is put to death because of the bite, that is to protect people, not to punish the dog•only members of a 'moral community' can have rights, therefore animals don't have rights•members of the 'moral community' are more 'valuable' than beings that are not members of the moral community•it is not wrong for valuable beings to 'use' less valuable beings•therefore it is not wrong for human beings to use animalsAnimals lack the capacity for free moral judgements•If an individual lacks the capacity for free moral judgment, then they do not have moral rights.•All non-human animals lack the capacity for free moral judgment.•Therefore, non-human animals do not have moral rights.Top Fundamental rightsAnimal and human rights boil down to one fundamental right: the right to be treated with respect as an individual with inherent value.Philosophers have a traditional way of expressing this:From this fundamental right come other rights.Particular species only get relevant and useful rights - so animals don't get all the rights that human beings get. For example: animals don't want or get the right to vote.When rights conflictSometimes a particular situation results in a conflict of rights.Two methods can be used to determine the best course of action when there is no alternative to violating the rights of some individual or group:•The Miniride Principle: Where similar harms are involved, override the fewest individuals' rights.•The Worse-off Principle: Where dissimilar harms are involved, avoid harming the worse-off individual.Harm is defined as the reduction of the capacity to have and fulfil desires.This definition of harm benefits people over animals because human beings have far more desires that they want to satisfy than do non-human animals.This resolves many of the traditional problems of humans versus animals in favour of humanity, because the human being under consideration would suffer far more harm than the non-human animal.But be careful: this method of choosing alternative courses of action is not utilitarian, it doesn't necessarily lead to choosing the course of action that produces the greatest overall happiness.Top The problem of 'marginal people'The phrase 'marginal people' or 'marginal human beings' is unpleasant. We use it here only because if you read the literature of animal rights you will encounter it often, and it's important to know what it means. We do not intend to denigrate the status or worth of any human being by using it here...The problem with the line of thought in the section above that it takes rights away from many human beings as well as from non-human animals.This is because some human beings (babies, senile people, people with some severe mental defects and people in a coma) don't have the capacity for free moral judgement either, and by this argument they wouldn't have any rights.Some philosophers are prepared to argue that in fact such 'marginal human beings' don't have rights, but most people find that conclusion repellent.The argument can be rescued by rewriting it like this:•If an individual is a member of a species that lacks the capacity for free moral judgment, then he or she does not have moral rights.•All non-human animal species lack the capacity for free moral judgment.•Therefore, non-human animals do not have moral rights.But this is not an argument; it's a statement that human beings have rights andnon-human animals don't, which is pure speciesism, and hardly persuasive.It's also vulnerable to the (probably unlikely) arrival of a species of extra-terrestrial creatures who demonstrate the capacity for free moral judgement.。

动物权利运动 Animal rights movement(英文)

动物权利运动 Animal rights movement(英文)

What really is an animal rights movement?Animal rights movement, also called animal liberation movement is a social movement, seeking an end to animals being treated as human beings’ possessions and their use in the research, food, clothing, and entertainment industries. Its purpose not only advocates that animals have rights to be treated mercifully, but also advocates that animals should have certain basic right like human beings. Animals should not be treated as human property or tools, both at the legal level or spiritual level.In some countries, legislation has been enacted to protect animal rights. In 1992, Switzerland legally confirmed that animals were "beings" rather than "items". In 2002, Germany incorporated animal protection provisions into the constitution. Animal rights movement has started placing its influences on political decision making in some countries. The trend continues to increase.Critics argue that, since animals make no moral judgments of social contracts, they cannot be responsible for the rights of others or even have no concept of rights at all, therefore cannot be considered having a spirit. Only human beings have the sense of responsibility, so only they should have rights.Some animal rights advocates argue that, although fundamentally, there is nothing wrong with the use of animals for food, entertainment, or scientific research, people should legislate to protect animals from unnecessary suffering. This view is called animal welfare and is also the view of some veteran animal protection organizations. The liberationist views of animal rights believe animals should have a certain spiritual right. The basic rights of animals should be protected by laws. It is different from the view of animal welfare that just care about animals for not being abused and not trying to protect the animal's spiritual rights.Animal rights activists believe that animal experiments will make animal illness oreven death, and there are many kinds of alternatives. The animal experiments are only for human own interests at the expense of animal right to life.In animal rights movement, activists are often involved in boycotting these cruel treatments upon animal in farmland and slaughter house and live animal exports. Boycotting against companies which have been subjected to a number of animal experiments during product development is also common. They are strongly opposed to the apparent damage to animal rights, including fur trading, hunting, circus, equestrian competition, zoo and pet sale. More and more animal rights activists are engaged in direct fighting, such as rescuing animals from laboratories which occasionally raises violent clashes. There is also an increased "public rescue" behavior.In addition, Animal rightists are also committed to educating the public via various media. Many animal activists pursue vegetarianism and advocate eating less meat. They believe that since the general human beings have always considered themselves high creatures, then they should not make animal predation behavior. Humans are omnivorous and able to choose to eat vegetables.Critics argue that the concept of animal rights movement involves the moral judgment of philosophy, which is to turn mankind into a second-class citizen below the animal. Some critics even believe that animal rights movement is anti-human activities.。

动物与人类平等的英文单词

动物与人类平等的英文单词

动物与人类平等的英文单词English:The concept of equality between animals and humans is often referred to as "animal rights". This approach emphasizes the idea that animals deserve the same consideration and respect as humans, and that they should not be exploited or oppressed for the benefit of humans. It advocates for the protection of animals from cruelty and mistreatment, and promotes the idea that they have their own inherent value and rights. This includes the right to live free from harm and suffering, and to not be used for entertainment, experimentation, or other human purposes without their consent. Animal rights also encompass the belief that animals should not be viewed as property, but rather as individual beings with their own interests and needs that should be taken into account in both legal and ethical frameworks.中文翻译:动物与人类平等的概念通常被称为“动物权利”。

介绍动物园里的动物和动物园的规则英语作文

介绍动物园里的动物和动物园的规则英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1Visiting a zoo is a fun and educational experience for people of all ages. Zoos provide an opportunity to see a wide variety of animals up close and learn about different species from around the world. In this essay, I will introduce some of the animals commonly found in zoos and discuss the rules and regulations that visitors must follow when visiting a zoo.One of the most popular attractions at any zoo is the big cats exhibit. Visitors can see majestic animals such as lions, tigers, and leopards in their natural habitat. These animals are known for their grace, power, and beauty, and watching them up close can be a thrilling experience. Visitors must always follow the guidelines set by the zoo staff when viewing these animals to ensure their safety and the safety of the animals.Another favorite exhibit at the zoo is the primates section. Here, visitors can see chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans in action. These fascinating creatures are closely related to humans and share many behaviors and characteristics with us. Visitorsare often amazed by their intelligence, agility, and social interactions. It is important to keep a safe distance from the primates and refrain from feeding them anything, as their diet is carefully monitored by the zoo staff.In addition to big cats and primates, zoos also feature a wide variety of birds, reptiles, and marine animals. Visitors can see colorful parrots, majestic eagles, slithering snakes, and playful dolphins, among other species. Each exhibit is designed to mimic the natural habitat of the animals and provide them with a comfortable and stimulating environment.When visiting a zoo, there are several rules and regulations that visitors must follow to ensure the safety and well-being of the animals. One of the most important rules is to never feed the animals anything unless specifically permitted by the zoo staff. Many animals have strict dietary requirements, and feeding them the wrong food can make them sick or even endanger their health.Visitors should also refrain from making loud noises or sudden movements that could startle the animals. Loud noises can cause stress and anxiety for the animals, leading to behavioral problems and health issues. It is important to respectthe animals' space and observe them from a safe distance at all times.Another important rule is to never litter or throw objects into the animal enclosures. Plastic bags, bottles, and other debris can be harmful to the animals if they ingest them. Visitors should always dispose of their trash in designated bins and keep the zoo clean and tidy.In conclusion, visiting a zoo is a wonderful way to learn about different species of animals and appreciate the diversity of life on Earth. By following the rules and regulations set by the zoo staff, visitors can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for themselves and the animals. Zoos play a crucial role in conservation efforts and education, and by supporting them, we can help protect endangered species and preserve our planet's biodiversity.篇2A visit to the zoo is always a fun and educational experience for people of all ages.

It is a popular destination for families, students, and animal lovers to learn about different species and conservation efforts. In this essay, we will introduce some of the animals commonly found in zoos and the rules visitors should follow while visiting.First of all, let's talk about the animals. Zoos usually have a diverse collection of animals, ranging from large mammals likeelephants and lions to tiny insects like beetles and butterflies. Some of the most popular animals in zoos include:1. Lions: Known as the "king of the jungle," lions are majestic creatures that draw crowds with their loud roars and regal appearance.2. Elephants: These gentle giants are loved for their intelligence, grace, and strong family bonds. Visitors often enjoy watching them play in the water or interact with their caretakers.3. Giraffes: With their long necks and beautiful spots, giraffes are a favorite among children and adults alike. Visitors can often feed them or watch them gracefully move around their enclosure.4. Penguins: These adorable birds are a must-see for visitors of all ages. Zoos often have special exhibits where guests can watch them swim and interact with each other.5. Tigers: With their striking orange and black stripes, tigers are both beautiful and fearsome. Visitors can observe them lounging in the sun, playing with enrichment toys, or stalking their prey.In addition to these animals, zoos also house a variety of birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Each species has its ownunique behaviors, habitat preferences, and conservation needs, making them fascinating subjects for study and observation.Now, let's discuss the rules visitors should follow while visiting the zoo. These rules are designed to ensure the safety and well-being of both the animals and the guests. Some common rules include:1. Do not feed the animals: While it may be tempting to offer treats to the animals, most zoos have strict guidelines against feeding them. Human food can be harmful to the animals' health and disrupt their natural diet.2. Do not tap on the glass: Many animals are housed in enclosures with glass walls or windows. Visitors should refrain from tapping on the glass or making loud noises, as this can stress out the animals and disturb other guests.3. Stay on designated paths: Zoos often have designated pathways for visitors to follow. These paths are designed to keep guests safe and prevent them from getting too close to the animals. Venturing off the paths can be dangerous and disruptive to the animals' routines.4. Respect the animals' space: While it's exciting to see animals up close, it's important to remember that they are wildcreatures. Visitors should maintain a safe distance from the animals and avoid reaching into their enclosures.5. Follow the zoo's guidelines: Each zoo has its own set of rules and regulations that visitors must follow. These guidelines may include restrictions on photography, prohibited items, or specific opening and closing times. It's important to familiarize yourself with these rules before your visit.By following these rules and guidelines, visitors can enjoy a safe and educational experience at the zoo. Whether you're there to admire the animals, learn about conservation efforts, or simply have a fun day out with your family, the zoo is a wonderful place to connect with nature and gain a greater appreciation for the world's diverse wildlife.。

Animal rights aim to give animals the same rights as humans in which they are not killed or tortured at the hands of people.Animal Rights Essay: Animal Rights is the thought or idea that says that some or all animals are entitled to their basic rights such as possession of their life, and other crucial needs to survive.It is the idea that all animals are born free like humans, and we should not subject them to exploitation for our needs. Animal rights aim to give animals the same rights as humans in which they are not killed or tortured at the hands of people.Long and Short Essays on Animal Right for Students and Kids in EnglishWe provide children and students with essay samples on an extended essay of 500 words and a short piece of 150 words on the topic “Animal Rights” for reference.Long Essay on Animal Rights 500 Words in EnglishIs it unjust to kill animals to feed ourselves? If you are a vegetarian or an animal lover, you might find killing animals to feed ourselves as unethical. There are various views on the subject, and continuous debates and articles try to resolve the matter.Animal rights are the thought process that all animals have basic rights like all human beings, and they do not deserve to be killed at our hands or made to suffer. It is best not to viewanimals as our commodities. It is wrong to view them as our resources. If we can accept the fact that animals are not born to be killed or exploited at our hands, we can approach a human view of treating animals and can then genuinely discuss the rights of animals.We wrongly believe that animals are the commodities that we use. If we adopt this thought, our actions towards them will be unethical and regrettable. If we think that animals have no moral status, we will be extremely apathetic, which is diametric to human nature. The wrong thought process can hamper the understanding and reasoning of everything in our life.Animals are living creatures, and so are we. They too feel pain and suffering. Hence, it is not illogical to consider the topic of animals having rights.Believing that animals have rights does not necessarily mean that eating meat is wrong or unethical. People of different backgrounds and religions follow different diets and have different eating habits. Some of them include non-vegetarian diets, and some of them don’t.Eating meat is a lifestyle for some people, and others should respect it. But, eating meat is not the only question that comes to mind when we think about animal rights. Thousands of animals are kept in farms and slaughterhouses. They are brought up in extremely inhospitable environments and are ultimately killed. Many of them are brought and stored in labs, and people perform all sorts of heinous and inexplicable experiments on them.You can now access more Essay Writing on this topic and many more.Humans torture millions of animals every year in labs. They burn, cut or starve animals in the name of research that does not always bear results. Most drugs that work on animals might not work for humans or not have the same efficiency. Hence, it is barbaric to meaninglessly kill animals and think that they do not have any rights.People should never believe that animals are useless, dumb creatures. They too have a soul and can feel. Their emotions might not be as complex as humans, but they deserve to be acknowledged.Humans are different than other animals. We have a moral compass and try to justify the events around us. Hence, when we think about any living creature being hurt, it makes us sad.If you see an abused animal or an injured animal, you could walk past it. You could alsoreport the animal abuse if it is a domestic animal, or take it to the vet for treatment. We should have realized that it is more peaceful to care for animals contently, than kill or capture them. Animals are soulful creatures like us and magnificent creation. We should respect them, and they do have rights.Short Essay on Animal Rights 150 Words in EnglishShort Essay on Animal Rights is usually given to classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.The animal right is the thought that all animals have birthrights like humans. It is the liberal thought process where we consider all animals to have basic rights that would protect them from being subjected to torture, starvation, slaughtering, etc. for our benefits.There are a lot of disagreements regarding animals having rights. Some people argue that animal rights should be protected, while others argue that there is no need for animal rights.People who say that animals have no rights, think it to be true because they view animals as commodities that we can exploit whenever required. Some people think that animals are created for our pleasure and our needs since we are at the top of the food chain. These people are largely mistaken.All animals have souls and are living beings just like us. They have sensations and can feel everything around them just like humans can. Hence, we are morally obliged to acknowledge the rights of animals and not harvest them.10 Lines on Animal Rights Essay in English1.

每个动物都有自己的优点 故事作文

每个动物都有自己的优点 故事作文

每个动物都有自己的优点故事作文英文回答:Animals are fascinating creatures, each with their own unique qualities and strengths. From the mighty lion to the graceful dolphin, every animal has something special to offer. In this story, I will share some examples of animals and their advantages.Let's start with the lion, known as the king of the jungle. Lions are powerful and courageous. They have a majestic presence and are natural leaders. In a pride, the lion takes charge and protects the group. This reminds me of the phrase "the lion's share," which means the largest portion or the best part of something. For example, in a group project, if I take the lion's share of the work, it means I am taking the lead and doing the most important tasks.Moving on to another animal, let's talk about the owl.Owls are known for their wisdom and intelligence. They have excellent night vision and can rotate their heads almost 360 degrees. This reminds me of the phrase "wise as an owl," which means someone who is very wise and knowledgeable. For example, if my friend always gives me good advice and makes wise decisions, I can say that she is as wise as an owl.Now let's talk about dolphins. These intelligent creatures are known for their playful and social nature. They are highly adaptable and can communicate with each other using a series of clicks, whistles, and body movements. Dolphins are also known for their teamwork. They work together to hunt for food and protect each other from predators. This reminds me of the phrase "in the same boat," which means being in the same situation or having the same goals. For example, if my classmates and I are all studying for the same exam, we can say that we are in the same boat.Moving on to a different animal, let's talk about ants. Ants are incredibly hardworking and organized. They worktogether in colonies to build intricate tunnels and gather food. Ants never give up and always find a way to overcome obstacles. This reminds me of the phrase "busy as a bee," which means being very busy and active. For example, if I have a lot of tasks to complete in a short amount of time, I can say that I am as busy as a bee.Finally, let's talk about the dog. Dogs are known for their loyalty and companionship. They are often referred to as "man's best friend" because of their close bond with humans. Dogs are protective and will do anything to keep their loved ones safe. This reminds me of the phrase "let sleeping dogs lie," which means to avoid interfering in a situation that could cause trouble. For example, if I hear my parents arguing, I know it's best to let sleeping dogs lie and not get involved.中文回答:动物是迷人的生物,每个动物都有自己独特的品质和优点。

All_Animals_Are_Equal

All_Animals_Are_Equal

All Animals Are Equal*P ETER S INGERIn recent years a number of oppressed groups have campaigned vigorously for equality. The classic instance is the Black Liberation movement, which demands an end to the prejudice and discrimination that has made blacks second-class citizens. The immediate appeal of the black liberation movement and its initial, if limited, success made it a model for other oppressed groups to follow. We became familiar with liberation movements for Spanish-Americans, gay people, and a variety of other minorities. When a majority group—women—began their campaign, some thought we had come to the end of the road. Discrimination on the basis of sex, it has been said, is the last universally accepted form of discrimination, practiced without secrecy or pretense even in those liberal circles that have long prided themselves on their freedom from prejudice against racial minorities.One should always be wary of talking of "the last remaining form of discrimination." If we have learnt anything from the liberation movements, we should have learnt how difficult it is to be aware of latent prejudice in our attitudes to particular groups until this prejudice is forcefully pointed out.A liberation movement demands an expansion of our moral horizons and an extension or reinterpretation of the basic moral principle of equality. Practices that were previously regarded as natural and inevitable come to be seen as the result of an unjustifiable prejudice. Who can say with confidence that all his or her attitudes and practices are beyond criticism? If we wish to avoid being numbered amongst the oppressors, we must be prepared to re-think even our most fundamental attitudes. We need to consider them from the point of view of those most disadvantaged by our attitudes, and the practices that follow from these attitudes. If we can make this unaccustomed mental switch we may discover a pattern in our attitudes and practices that consistently operates so as to benefit one group—usually the one to which we ourselves belong—at the expense of another. In this way we may come to see that there is a case for a new liberation movement. My aim is to advocate that we make this mental switch in respect of our attitudes and practices towards a very large group of beings: members of species other than our own—or, as we popularly though misleadingly call them, animals. In other words, I am urging that we extend to other species the basic principle of equality that most of us recognize should be extended to all members of our own species.All this may sound a little far-fetched, more like a parody of other liberation movements than a serious objective. In fact, in the past the idea of "The Rights of Animals" really has been used to parody the case for women's rights. When Mary Wollstonecraft, a forerunner of later feminists, published her Vindication of the Rights of Women in 1792, her ideas were widely regarded as absurd, and they were satirized in an anonymous publication entitled A Vindication of the Rights of Brutes. The author of this satire (actually Thomas Taylor, a distinguished Cambridge philosopher) tried to refute Wollstonecraft's reasonings by showing that they could be carried one stage further. If sound when applied to women, why should the arguments not be applied to dogs, cats, and horses? They seemed to hold equally well for these "brutes"; yet to hold that brutes had rights was manifestly absurd; therefore the reasoning by which this conclusion had been reached must be unsound, and if unsound when applied to brutes, it must also be unsound when applied to women, since the very same arguments had been used in each case.One way in which we might reply to this argument is by saying that the case for equality between men and women cannot validly be extended to nonhuman animals. Women have a right to vote, for instance, because they are just as capable of making rational decisions as* In T OM R EGAN &P ETER S INGER (eds.), Animal Rights and Human Obligations. New Jersey: Prentice-Hall, 1989, pp. 148-162men are; dogs, on the other hand, are incapable of understanding the significance of voting, sothey cannot have the right to vote. There are many other obvious ways in which men and women resemble each other closely, while humans and other animals differ greatly. So, itmight be said, men and women are similar beings and should have equal rights, while humans and nonhumans are different and should not have equal rights.The thought behind this reply to Taylor's analogy is correct up to a point, but it does not go far enough. There are important differences between humans and other animals, and these differences must give rise to some differences in the rights that each have. Recognizing this obvious fact, however, is no barrier to the case for extending the basic principle of equality to nonhuman animals. The differences that exist between men and women are equally undeniable, and the supporters of Women's Liberation are aware that these differences may give rise to different rights. Many feminists hold that women have the right to an abortion on request. It does not follow that since these same people are campaigning for equality between men and women they must support the right of men to have abortions too. Since a man cannot have an abortion, it is meaningless to talk of his right to have one. Since a pig can't vote, it is meaningless to talk of its right to vote. There is no reason why either Women's Liberation or Animal Liberation should get involved in such nonsense. The extension of the basic principle of equality from one group to another does not imply that we must treat both groups in exactly the same way, or grant exactly the same rights to both groups. Whether we should do so will depend on the nature of the members of the two groups. The basic principle of equality, I shall argue, is equality of consideration; and equal consideration for different beings may lead to different treatment and different rights.So there is a different way of replying to Taylor's attempt to parody Wollstonecraft's arguments, a way which does not deny the differences between humans and nonhumans, but goes more deeply into the question of equality and concludes by finding nothing absurd in the idea that the basic principle of equality applies to so-called "brutes." I believe that we reach this conclusion if we examine the basis on which our opposition to discrimination on grounds of race or sex ultimately rests. We will then see that we would be on shaky ground if we were to demand equality for blacks, women, and other groups of oppressed humans while denying equal consideration to nonhumans.When we say that all human beings, whatever their race, creed, or sex, are equal, what is it that we are asserting? Those who wish to defend a hierarchical, inegalitarian society have often pointed out that by whatever test we choose, it simply is not true that all humans are equal. Like it or not, we must face the fact that humans come in different shapes and sizes; they come with differing moral capacities, differing intellectual abilities, differing amounts of benevolent feeling and sensitivity to the needs of others, differing abilities to communicate effectively, and differing capacities to experience pleasure and pain. In short, if the demand for equality were based on the actual equality of all human beings, we would have to stop demanding equality. It would be an unjustifiable demand.Still, one might cling to the view that the demand for equality among human beings is based onthe actual equality of the different races and sexes. Although humans differ as individuals in various ways, there are no differences between the races and sexes as such. From the mere fact that a person is black, or a woman, we cannot infer anything else about that person. This, it may be said, is what is wrong with racism and sexism. The white racist claims that whites are superior to blacks, but this is false—although there are differences between individuals, some blacks are superior to some whites in all of the capacities and abilities that could conceivably be relevant. The opponent of sexism would say the same: a person's sex is no guide to his or her abilities, and this is why it is unjustifiable to discriminate on the basis of sex.This is a possible line of objection to racial and sexual discrimination. It is not, however, the way that someone really concerned about equality would choose, because taking this line could, in some circumstances, force one to accept a most inegalitarian society. The fact thathumans differ as individuals, rather than as races or sexes, is a valid reply to someone whodefends a hierarchical society like, say, South Africa, in which all whites are superior in status to all blacks. The existence of individual variations that cut across the lines of race or sex,however, provides us with no defense at all against a more sophisticated opponent of equality, one who proposes that, say, the interests of those with I.Q. ratings above 100 be preferred to the interests of those with I.Q.s below 100. Would a hierarchical society of this sort really be so much better than one based on race or sex? I think not. But if we tie the moral principle of equality to the factual equality of the different races or sexes, taken as a whole, our opposition to racism and sexism does not provide us with any basis for objecting to this kind of inegalitarianism.There is a second important reason why we ought not to base our opposition to racism and sexism on any kind of factual equality, even the limited kind which asserts that variations in capacities and abilities are spread evenly between the different races and sexes: we can have no absolute guarantee that these abilities and capacities really are distributed evenly, without regard to race or sex, among human beings. So far as actual abilities are concerned, there do seem to be certain measurable differences between both races and sexes. These differences do not, of course, appear in each case, but only when averages are taken. More important still, we do not yet know how much of these differences is really due to the different genetic endowments of the various races and sexes, and how much is due to environmental differences that are the result of past and continuing discrimination. Perhaps all of the important differences will eventually prove to be environmental rather than genetic. Anyone opposed to racism and sexism will certainly hope that this will be so, for it will make the task of ending discrimination a lot easier; nevertheless it would be dangerous to rest the case against racism and sexism on the belief that all significant differences are environmental in origin. The opponent of, say, racism who takes this line will be unable to avoid conceding that if differences in ability did after all prove to have some genetic connection with race, racism would in some way be defensible.It would be folly for the opponent of racism to stake his whole case on a dogmatic commitment to one particular outcome of a difficult scientific issue which is still a long way from being settled. While attempts to prove that differences in certain selected abilities between races and sexes are primarily genetic in origin have certainly not been conclusive, the same must be said of attempts to prove that these differences are largely the result of environment. At this stage of the investigation we cannot be certain which view is correct, however much we may hope it is the latter.Fortunately, there is no need to pin the case for equality to one particular outcome of this scientific investigation. The appropriate response to those who claim to have found evidence of genetically-based differences in ability between the races or sexes is not to stick to the belief that the genetic explanation must be wrong, whatever evidence to the contrary may turn up: instead we should make it quite clear that the claim to equality does not depend on intelligence, moral capacity, physical strength, or similar matters of fact. Equality is a moral ideal, not a simple assertion of fact. There is no logically compelling reason for assuming that a factual difference in ability between two people justifies any difference in the amount of consideration we give to satisfying their needs and interests. The principle of the equality of human beings is not a description of an alleged actual equality among humans: it is a prescription of how we should treat humans.Jeremy Bentham incorporated the essential basis of moral equality into his utilitarian system of ethics in the formula: "Each to count for one and none for more than one." In other words, the interests of every being affected by an action are to be taken into account and given the same weight as the like interests of any other being. A later utilitarian, Henry Sidgwick, put the point in this way: "The good of any one individual is of no more importance, from the point ofview (if I may say so) of the Universe, than the good of any other.''1 More recently, the leadingfigures in contemporary moral philosophy have shown a great deal of agreement in specifying as a fundamental presupposition of their moral theories some similar requirement whichoperates so as to give everyone's interests equal consideration—although they cannot agree on how this requirement is best formulated.2It is an implication of this principle of equality that our concern for others ought not to dependon what they are like, or what abilities they possess—although precisely what this concern requires us to do may vary according to the characteristics of those affected by what we do. It is on this basis that the case against racism and the case against sexism must both ultimately rest; and it is in accordance with this principle that speciesism is also to be condemned. If possessing a higher degree of intelligence does not entitle one human to use another for his own ends, how can it entitle humans to exploit nonhumans?Many philosophers have proposed the principle of equal consideration of interests, in some form or other, as a basic moral principle; but, as we shall see in more detail shortly, not many of them have recognized that this principle applies to members of other species as well as to our own. Bentham was one of the few who did realize this. In a forward-looking passage, written at a time when black slaves in the British dominions were still being treated much as we now treat nonhuman animals, Bentham wrote:The day may come when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which never could have been witholden from them but by the hand of tyranny. The French have already discovered that the blackness of the skin is no reason why a human being should be abandoned without redress to the caprice of a tormentor. It may one day come to be recognized that the number of the legs, the villosity of the skin, or the termination of the os sacrum, are reasons equally insufficient for abandoning a sensitive being to the same fate. What else is it that should trace the insuperable line? Is it the faculty of reason, or perhaps the faculty of discourse? But a full-grown horse or dog is beyond comparison a more rational, as well as a more conversable animal, than an infant of a day, or a week, or even a month, old. But suppose they were otherwise, what would it avail? The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?3In this passage Bentham points to the capacity for suffering as the vital characteristic that gives a being the right to equal consideration. The capacity for suffering—or more strictly, for suffering and/or enjoyment or happiness—is not just another characteristic like the capacity for language, or for higher mathematics. Bentham is not saying that those who try to mark "the insuperable line" that determines whether the interests of a being should be considered happen to have selected the wrong characteristic. The capacity for suffering and enjoying things is a prerequisite for having interests at all, a condition that must be satisfied before we can speak of interests in any meaningful way. It would be nonsense to say that it was not in the interests of a stone to be kicked along the road by a schoolboy. A stone does not have interests because it cannot suffer. Nothing that we can do to it could possibly make any difference to its welfare.A mouse, on the other hand, does have an interest in not being tormented, because it willsuffer if it is.If a being suffers, there can be no moral justification for refusing to take that suffering intoconsideration. No matter what the nature of the being, the principle of equality requires that its suffering be counted equally with the like suffering—in so far as rough comparisons can be made—of any other being. If a being is not capable of suffering, or of experiencing enjoyment or happiness, there is nothing to be taken into account. This is why the limit of sentience1The Methods of Ethics (7th Ed.), p. 382.2 For example, R. M. Hare, Freedom and Reason (Oxford, 1963) and J. Rawls, A Theory of Justice (Harvard, 1972); for a brief account of the essential agreement on this issue between these and other positions, see R. M. Hare, "Rules of War and Moral Reasoning," Philosophy and Public Affairs, vol. 1, no. 2 (1972).3Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation, ch. XVII.(using the term as a convenient, if not strictly accurate, shorthand for the capacity to suffer orexperience enjoyment or happiness) is the only defensible boundary of concern for the interests of others. To mark this boundary by some characteristic like intelligence or rationalitywould be to mark it in an arbitrary way. Why not choose some other characteristic, like skin color?The racist violates the principle of equality by giving greater weight to the interests of members of his own race, when there is a clash between their interests and the interests of those of another race. Similarly the speciesist allows the interests of his own species to override the greater interests of members of other species.4 The pattern is the same in each case. Most human beings are speciesists. l shall now very briefly describe some of the practices that show this.For the great majority of human beings, especially in urban, industrialized societies, the most direct form of contact with members of other species is at mealtimes: we eat them. In doing so we treat them purely as means to our ends. We regard their life and well-being as subordinate to our taste for a particular kind of dish. l say "taste" deliberately—this is purely a matter of pleasing our palate. There can be no defense of eating flesh in terms of satisfying nutritional needs, since it has been established beyond doubt that we could satisfy our need for protein and other essential nutrients far more efficiently with a diet that replaced animal flesh by soy beans, or products derived from soy beans, and other high-protein vegetable products.5It is not merely the act of killing that indicates what we are ready to do to other species in order to gratify our tastes. The suffering we inflict on the animals while they are alive is perhaps an even clearer indication of our speciesism than the fact that we are prepared to kill them.6 In order to have meat on the table at a price that people can afford, our society tolerates methods of meat production that confine sentient animals in cramped, unsuitable conditions for the entire durations of their lives. Animals are treated like machines that convert fodder into flesh, and any innovation that results in a higher "conversion ratio" is liable to be adopted. As one authority on the subject has said, "cruelty is acknowledged only when profitability ceases."7. . .Since, as l have said, none of these practices cater for anything more than our pleasures of taste, our practice of rearing and killing other animals in order to eat them is a clear instance of the sacrifice of the most important interests of other beings in order to satisfy trivial interests of our own. To avoid speciesism we must stop this practice, and each of us has a moral obligation to cease supporting the practice. Our custom is all the support that the meat-industry needs. The decision to cease giving it that support may be difficult, but it is no more difficult than it would have been for a white Southerner to go against the traditions of his society and free his slaves: if we do not change our dietary habits, how can we censure those slaveholders who would not change their own way of living?4 I owe the term speciesism to Richard Ryder.5 In order to produce 1 lb. of protein in the form of beef or veal, we must feed 21 Ibs. of protein to the animal. Other forms of livestock are slightly less inefficient, but the average ratio in the United States is still 1:8. It has been estimated that the amount of protein lost to humans in this way is equivalent to 90 percent of the annual world protein deficit. For a brief account, see Frances Moore Lappe, Diet for a Small Planet (Friends of The Earth/Ballantine, New York 1971), pp. 4—11.6 Although one might think that killing a being is obviously the ultimate wrong one can do to it, l think that the infliction of suffering is a clearer indication of speciesism because it might be argued that at least part of what is wrong with killing a human is that most humans are conscious of their existence over time and have desires and purposes that extend into the future see, for instance, M. Tooley, "Abortion and Infanticide," Philosophy and Public Affairs, vol . 2, no. I (1972). Of course, if one took this view one would have to hold—as Tooley does—that killing a human infant or mental defective is not in itself wrong and is less serious than killing certain higher mammals that probably do have a sense of their own existence over time.7 Ruth Harrison, Animal Machines (Stuart, London, 1964). For an account of farming conditions, see my Animal Liberation (New York Review Company, 1975) from which "Down on the Factory Farm," is reprinted in this volume [Animal Rights and Human Obligations].The same form of discrimination may be observed in the widespread practice of experimentingon other species in order to see if certain substances are safe for human beings, or to test some psychological theory about the effect of severe punishment on learning, or to try outvarious new compounds just in case something turns up....In the past, argument about vivisection has often missed the point, because it has been put in absolutist terms: Would the abolitionist be prepared to let thousands die if they could be saved by experimenting on a single animal? The way to reply to this purely hypothetical question is to pose another: Would the experimenter be prepared to perform his experiment on an orphaned human infant, if that were the only way to save many lives? (I say "orphan" to avoid the complication of parental feelings, although in doing so l am being overfair to the experimenter, since the nonhuman subjects of experiments are not orphans.) If the experimenter is not prepared to use an orphaned human infant, then his readiness to use nonhumans is simple discrimination, since adult apes, cats, mice, and other mammals are more aware of what is happening to them, more self-directing and, so far as we can tell, at least as sensitive to pain, as any human infant. There seems to be no relevant characteristic that human infants possess that adult mammals do not have to the same or a higher degree. (Someone might try to argue that what makes it wrong to experiment on a human infant is that the infant will, in time and if left alone, develop into more than the nonhuman, but one would then, to be consistent, have to oppose abortion, since the fetus has the same potential as the infant—indeed, even contraception and abstinence might be wrong on this ground, since the egg and sperm, considered jointly, also have the same potential. In any case, this argument still gives us no reason for selecting a nonhuman, rather than a human with severe and irreversible brain damage, as the subject for our experiments).The experimenter, then, shows a bias in favor of his own species whenever he carries out an experiment on a nonhuman for a purpose that he would not think justified him in using a human being at an equal or lower level of sentience, awareness, ability to be self-directing, etc. No one familiar with the kind of results yielded by most experiments on animals can have the slightest doubt that if this bias were eliminated the number of experiments performed would be a minute fraction of the number performed today.Experimenting on animals, and eating their flesh, are perhaps the two major forms of speciesism in our society. By comparison, the third and last form of speciesism is so minor as to be insignificant, but it is perhaps of some special interest to those for whom this article was written. I am referring to speciesism in contemporary philosophy.Philosophy ought to question the basic assumptions of the age. Thinking through, critically and carefully, what most people take for granted is, I believe, the chief task of philosophy, and it is this task that makes philosophy a worthwhile activity. Regrettably, philosophy does not always live up to its historic role. Philosophers are human beings, and they are subject to all the preconceptions of the society to which they belong. Sometimes they succeed in breaking free of the prevailing ideology: more often they become its most sophisticated defenders. So, in this case, philosophy as practiced in the universities today does not challenge anyone's preconceptions about our relations with other species. By their writings, those philosophers who tackle problems that touch upon the issue reveal that they make the same unquestioned assumptions as most other humans, and what they say tends to confirm the reader in his or her comfortable speciesist habits.I could illustrate this claim by referring to the writings of philosophers in various fields—for instance, the attempts that have been made by those interested in rights to draw the boundary of the sphere of rights so that it runs parallel to the biological boundaries of the species homo sapiens, including infants and even mental defectives, but excluding those other beings of equal or greater capacity who are so useful to us at mealtimes and in our laboratories. l think it would be a more appropriate conclusion to this article, however, if I concentrated on the problem with which we have been centrally concerned, the problem of equality.It is significant that the problem of equality, in moral and political philosophy, is invariablyformulated in terms of human equality. The effect of this is that the question of the equality of other animals does not confront the philosopher, or student, as an issue itself—and this isalready an indication of the failure of philosophy to challenge accepted beliefs. Still, philosophers have found it difficult to discuss the issue of human equality without raising, in a paragraph or two, the question of the status of other animals. The reason for this, which should be apparent from what I have said already, is that if humans are to be regarded as equal to one another, we need some sense of "equal" that does not require any actual, descriptive equality of capacities, talents or other qualities. If equality is to be related to any actual characteristics of humans, these characteristics must be some lowest common denominator, pitched so low that no human lacks them—but then the philosopher comes up against the catch that any such set of characteristics which covers all humans will not be possessed only by humans. In other words, it turns out that in the only sense in which we can truly say, as an assertion of fact, that all humans are equal, at least some members of other species are also equal—equal, that is, to each other and to humans. If, on the other hand, we regard the statement "All humans are equal" in some non-factual way, perhaps as a prescription, then, as I have already argued, it is even more difficult to exclude non-humans from the sphere of equality.This result is not what the egalitarian philosopher originally intended to assert. Instead of accepting the radical outcome to which their own reasonings naturally point, however, most philosophers try to reconcile their beliefs in human equality and animal inequality by arguments that can only be described as devious.As a first example, I take William Frankena's well-known article "The Concept of Social Justice." Frankena opposes the idea of basing justice on merit, because he sees that this could lead to highly inegalitarian results. Instead he proposes the principle thatall men are to be treated as equals, not because they are equal, in any respect, but simply because they are human. They are human because they have emotions and desires, and are able to think, and hence are capable of enjoying a good life in a sense in which other animals are not.8But what is this capacity to enjoy the good life which all humans have, but no other animals?Other animals have emotions and desires and appear to be capable of enjoying a good life. We may doubt that they can think—although the behavior of some apes, dolphins, and even dogs suggests that some of them can—but what is the relevance of thinking? Frankena goes on to admit that by "the good life" he means "not so much the morally good life as the happy or satisfactory life," so thought would appear to be unnecessary for enjoying the good life; in fact to emphasize the need for thought would make difficulties for the egalitarian since only some people are capable of leading intellectually satisfying lives, or morally good lives. This makes it difficult to see what Frankena's principle of equality has to do with simply being human. Surely every sentient being is capable of leading a life that is happier or less miserable than some alternative life, and hence has a claim to be taken into account. In this respect the distinction between humans and nonhumans is not a sharp division, but rather a continuum along which we move gradually, and with overlaps between the species, from simple capacities for enjoyment and satisfaction, or pain and suffering, to more complex ones.Faced with a situation in which they see a need for some basis for the moral gulf that iscommonly thought to separate humans and animals, but can find no concrete difference that will do the job without undermining the equality of humans, philosophers tend to waffle. They resort to highs sounding phrases like "the intrinsic dignity of the human individual";9 they talk of the "intrinsic worth of all men" as if men (humans?) had some worth that other beings did8 In R. Brandt (ed.), Social Justice (Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, 1962), p. 19.9 Frankena, op. cit. p. 23.。
