| Summary: | What are animals ? Are they things or rather persons ? The American philosopher Martha Nussbaum believes that non-human animals are sensitive and vulnerable creatures who should now be entitled to a good life. Non-human animals thus deserve protection under the justice umbrella as proper subjects of rights so that they can enjoy flourishing lives. Such an approach should however not consist in a pure and simple transfer of human rights to animals. Rather than dissolving the frontier between human animals and non-human animals, accrediting animals would be more relevant when focused on animal capabilities. |
