Document Summary

Feminism, animal rights, and the ethics of care. The male moral voice is distinctively different to the female moral voice. *there can be care without justice, but no justice without care. 1: an ethics of care looks to promote and cultivate caring relations between individuals, while challenging relations that are dominating, exploitative, mistrustful, or hostile (held 2004, 145). The law reflects our emotive concerns: our concern, then, in applying emotive elements to moral and legal issues should not be to avoid all emotion but to avoid emotion devoid of reason (kelch 1999, 30). Friday, february 26, y: problem: one could hold that killing harms both humans and nonhuman animals but claim that it is only wrong in the case of humans. Just because killing in both cases harms the beings killed, it does not follow that we require the same justification for the killing of humans and the killing of nonhumans.
