Select one philosopher discussed either in the text or supplemental materials and discuss their perspective regarding moral obligations toward animals.
Do you believe we have any moral obligations toward animals? If so, what is the extent of these obligations?
Why do we have these obligations (if we do)?
Are there different obligations toward different animals? Might certain uses of some animals be morally permissible, whereas using other animals in similar ways would be wrong? (E.g., might some experiments be wrong if done on chimpanzees, whereas morally permissible, or perhaps “less wrong,” if done on mice?
