  • This article addresses the nature and scope of the ethical duties that humans have toward animals which arise out of the fact that these other beings are alive. Attention is also given to how the ethical concerns of individual humans will be transformed into social positions and ultimately laws for the protection of animals through the concept of the respectful use of animals by humans. Four broad principles are provided upon which an animal friendly ethic can be built.
