General Stuff to Focus On
Speciesism: giving preference to our own species over another in the absence of morally
relevant differences
Indirect Duties:
-We have no direct duties to animals, but rather indirect duties
-Indirect duty: duties that we have to animals are rather duties we have to people, i.e. can’t
violate a person’s property
Duties argument means:
1. No human being feels pain
2. Both human and animal feel pain, but only the human pain matters
*no rational person can agree to either
3. Singer says that giving to charity is our duty
4. We are morally obligated to sacrifice many of our present luxuries to prevent others
from starving
5. If we can prevent something bad without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable
moral worth, we ought to do so.
Inherent Value:
· Something has value in-itself, not as an object or in its relation to others
· All who have inherent value have it equally
· Animals also have inherent value
· Basic similarity: we are all an experiencing subject of life as conscious creatures
wild tending to our own welfare that has importance to us, regardless if it is
important/useful to someone else
Regan’s “Fundamental Wrong”:
· NOT the pain/suffering
· IS the system that allows us to view animals as our resources (food, testing, sport,
money)
· Treating them more “humanely” in the process doesn’t solve the actual problem; in
the end, you’re still murdering the animal
3 Goals of Animal Rights Movement: ASESDA (WHAT DOES ASESDA MEAN? IS IT AN
ACRONYM?) I think that whoever wrote that made a term to help remember it better?
(A)bolition(S)cience (E)limination(S)port (D)issolution(A)griculture just a guess tho…
^you’re onto something Р
Yup you got it
1. Total abolition
of the use of animals in science
2. Total dissolution
of com mercial animal agriculture
3. Total elimination
of commercial and sport hunting and trapping
Torture: Henry Shue
Interrogational torture:
· Torture for the purpose of extracting information
· Limited - once info is obtained, torture can stop
Terroristic torture:
· Victim’s suffering is used so that other’s may witness and be frightened of the same
fate
· No limits
· Violates Kant’s principles
