The Rights of Animals

Paper Summary:

An examination of two theories by Tom Regan and Peter Singer of animal rights. The author examines their relevance and compares the two highlighting their practical value and inconsistencies. A general look at animal rights.

From the Paper:

"An environmental philosophy is difficult to define, in fact I would say there is considerable difficulty in philosophical suppositions in general. We find two authors that struggle with the reasoning behind our treatment, or mistreatment in this case, of animals. I would contend that both arguments presented are extremely narrow, and are fraught with many inconsistencies and a lack of rational thought. I will delve into these criticisms later on, first however, I will attempt to present their ideas and justification in an unbiased, and straightforward manner."
