I should think that the trustee of funds willed to a dog or cat is more than a mere custodian of the animal he protects. Many of the higher animals at least have appetites, conative urges, and rudimentary purposes, the integrated satisfaction of which constitutes their welfare or good.

It's one that's brought on, no doubt, by the acts of vandalism and intimidation of radical animal-rights groups, but I think it also serves to insulate the research community from any responsibility it might otherwise have to increase transparency and public engagement with the work. It "guarantees humane treatment?"

The Argument from Animal Rights A stronger argument is made by people who maintain that animals have rights. In particular, it has been argued that animals have a right to life. The question is, of course, whether animals do have a right to life. The answer to this question turns on what is meant by having a right.

The ground for this will not be animal welfare, as you might expect, but environmentalism. So if animal husbandry is to be prohibited, it should be on animal-welfare grounds, not environmental grounds. It is that coercion (via legal prohibition) is not a proper method of protecting animals, at least if the aim is to protect animals.

In the past I have attributed some of this conflict to differences between the conservation mindset and that of animal rights/animal welfare. And embattled minority should be protected.
