On the Irreplaceability of Animal Life

چکیده
As animal rights becomes a fash ionable topic of debate within the aca demic community, we see a spate of arguments emerging which deny or conflict with the fundamental moral principles of equal consideration of interests. 1 Whatever the motivation for such arguments, the practical result is the putative justification of the continued use, abuse, and slaughter of non-human animals for man's own purposes--purposes which are by no means consistent with the telos of the animals themselves.

متن کاملReserve networks based on richness hotspots and representation vary with scale.
While the importance of spatial scale in ecology is well established, few studies have investigated the impact of data grain on conservation planning outcomes. In this study, we compared species richness hotspot and representation networks developed at five grain sizes. We used species distribution maps for mammals and birds developed by the Arizona and New Mexico Gap Analysis Programs (GAP) to...

متن کاملConservation planning and priorities
Maybe the first law of conservation science should be that human population—which of course drives both threats to biodiversity and its conservation—is distributed unevenly around the world (Cincotta et al. 2000). This parallels a better-known first law of biodiversity science, that biodiversity itself is also distributed unevenly (Gaston 2000; Chapter 2). Were it not for these two patterns, co...
