ANIMAL SUFFERING SHOULD NOT TRUMP ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP*

摘要

If his earlier writings tended to employ arguments arising from Christian theology, this text makes what Linzey calls the rational argument.Through this argument, Linzey seeks to present a reasoned defense of animal protection that could counter the charge that animal protectionism bases its appeal on emotionalism and sentimentality (pp. 1-3). [...] Linzey believes that the vulnerability of animals calls humans to use their power to protect animals and not to exploit them.
