On Animals

Bekoff, Marc, "Increasing Our Compassion Footprint: The Animals' Manifesto" Zygon: Journal of Religion & Science

Abstract: In our society many people have forgotten their responsibility toward animals. Instead of ensuring their welfare, society allows animals to experience intense physical and emotional pain through either factories or experiments. Berkoff believes that animals should not be maltreated for human benefit. He urges society to adopt a compassionate attitude towards animals. Perhaps if society could be more sensitive to how we interact with animals we will, for once, learn how to keep their best interests in mind.
