Dale Jamieson Quotes About Animals

• Tenemos que utilizar instrumentos económicos como los impuestos sobre el carbono, los límites máximos y el comercio de derechos de emisión, los impuestos y dividendos y cualquier otro instrumento que nos ayude a incentivar comportamientos que nos lleven a un mundo post-carbono y post-agricultura animal, y que hagan a nuestras sociedades más resistentes a los choques que ya están integrados en el sistema.

• The problem is that for almost any feature of humanity that you can name, whether it's the ability to suffer, whether it's the capacity to reason, whether it's having lives that can go better or worse, there are at least some other non-human animals that have all of these features as well. So to exclude non-human animals from the range of moral concern but to include all humans, just seems morally arbitrary.
