Abstract

The article emphasizes the urgent moral obligation to address the widespread cruelty inflicted on animals by humans. It outlines various forms of harm, including factory farming, habitat destruction, and pollution, which have escalated in recent centuries, leading to a significant ethical debt that society must confront. The author advocates for the Capabilities Approach (CA), which posits that justice for animals involves ensuring they have the opportunities to live lives characteristic of their species, rather than merely minimizing their suffering. The article calls for collective action from individuals and organizations to improve animal welfare and promote awareness of these issues. [Extracted from the article]
