Philosophers' Café: What moral obligations do we have towards animals? November 14, 2007

What moral obligations do we have towards animals?
It has been said that the moral enlightenment of a nation can be measured by examining its treatment of animals. Why should animals be included in our moral deliberations? Do animals have rights? If so, how do they compare to the rights accorded to humans? Recommended reading: Peter Singer, Animal Liberation.
