Summary
This article is behind a paywall. It has been included in the database and summarized below solely based on the content of the abstract.
This article explores how the concept of vulnerability, as used in bioethics, can be applied to animals. The author argues that many animals can be aptly described as vulnerable, and explores the ethical implications of this for “livestock” farming, animal experimentation, and wildlife. The author argues many groups of animals are especially vulnerable and therefore deserve special protection. The author distinguishes vulnerability from sentience; vulnerability points to individuals being denied what they deserve.
