Counting Animals in War

War is harmful to animals, but few have considered how such harm should affect assessments of the justice military actions. In this article, we propose a way in which concern for animals can be included within just-war framework, with focus on necessity and proportionality. We argue that counting war will not make theory excessively demanding, it more humane. By showing our proportionality assessments, provide crucial first step towards developing an animal-inclusive account theory.
