Philosophy Today engages in meaningful conversation about fundamental problems vis-à-vis matters such as existence, creativity, values, art, language, politics, religion, and knowledge… Do animals have rights by Carl Cohen Suppose you are in the jungle, and a baby zebra and a starving lioness are minding their own businesses. After a while, the starving lioness ran into the baby zebra and eats her abruptly. What do you think of this incident? Do you believe that the lioness has violated the baby zebra rights to live? Or would you assume that the starving lioness has every right to eat the baby zebra in that she has a right to fulfill her right to feed herself? Or rather, would you propose that both the Lioness and the baby zebra have a fundamental right, and this incident is just a random act of violence and says nothing about animal rights? Whatever opinion you may have, this incident retraces a daily account of life in the jungle. And, in interpretation, Cohen contends that the lioness’s action evinces, not only animals do not have rights, but also, they do not live in moral world. To instantiate, Cohen argues that animals are different than human. While they all are sentient being and can feel pain; they are merely moral patients whereas human are morals agents. In other words, animals do not possess any moral agency. They can neither share moral responsibility nor be held accountable for actions. Therefore, they are not expected to be dictated by morals rules. Furthermore, if they do have some form of right, such rights must be different than human right because the idea of rights and morals rules are human concepts, and they should not be applicable to nonhuman animals. Do you agree with Carl Cohen’s argument that animals do not have rights?
