Animal advocates world-wide have been accused of campaigns immured in racism. Some authors have argued that for animal advocates to avoid this accusation they should simultaneously engage with racial discrimination issues when advocating for animal welfare/rights. This prescription has been mostly explored in the context of the Global North and by looking at Western normative theory. In this article I address this issue but by looking at the context of South Africa and analysing the prescriptions from an Afro-communitarian ethic. I conclude that this ethic prescribes that there is a positive duty to engage in racial discrimination issues and, if one does not do so, a violation of some negative duties occurs.
全世界的动物保护主义者都被指责在其运动中存在种族主义。一些作者认为，动物保护主义者如果要避免这种指责，他们在倡导动物福利/权利时就应该同时参与解决种族歧视问题。这一建议主要在北美和西方规范理论的背景下进行了探讨。在本文中，我通过关注南非的情况，并从非洲共同体伦理的角度来分析这些建议，来处理这个问题。我得出的结论是，这种伦理规定有积极的义务去参与解决种族歧视问题，如果不这样做，就会违反一些消极的义务。
