The Rights of Animals and the Demands of Nature

Dale Jamieson

Environmental Values, 2008, vol. 17, issue 2, pages 181-199

Abstract: This paper discusses two central themes of the work of Alan Holland: the relations between the natural and the normative and how our duties regarding animals cohere with our obligations to respect nature. I explicate and defend an anti-speciesist argument that entails strong moral demands on how we should live and what we should eat. I conclude by discussing the implications of anti-speciesism for rewilding and reintroduction programmes.
