Zoocentrism (Environmental Ethics)
This is the second part of my short series of environmental ethics, we look at the animal-centered view, also called Zoocentrism, according to which the environment matters, because it has effects both on humans and other sentient beings (namely, "animals"), and there's no reason to exclude non-humans from moral considerations.
