Description:Animal ethics has received a lot of attention over the last four decades. Its focus,however, has almost exclusively been on the welfare of captive animals, ignoring thevast majority of animals: those living in the wild. I suggest that this one-sided focus isunwarranted. On the empirical side, I argue that wild animals overwhelminglyoutnumber captive animals, and that billions of wild animals are likely to have livesthat are even more painful and distressing than those of their captive counterparts.On the normative side, I argue that as long as we have duties of assistance towardshumans suffering from natural causes, and we reject anthropocentrism, we also haveduties of assistance towards animals suffering in the wild.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
