Abstract

Animals have moral standing; that is, they have properties (including the ability to feel pain) that qualify them for the protections of morality. It follows from this that humans have moral obligations toward animals, and because rights are logically correlative to obligations, animals have rights.

摘要

动物具有道德地位；也就是说，它们拥有一些特性（包括感受疼痛的能力），这些特性使它们有资格获得道德的保护。由此可知，人类对动物负有道德义务，并且由于权利在逻辑上与义务相关联，所以动物拥有权利。
