Practical objections against helping wild animals
This video discusses practical objections to establishing welfare biology and helping animals in the wild. These include worries that the questions are too difficult to make progress on or even impossible to know, the idea that only human interests are suitable goals for science, and worries that these ideas may be disapproved of. We will see that these objections are unfounded.
In this course about wild animal suffering, you'll learn about the plight of animals living in the wild. Find out what the lives of the most numerous animals — invertebrates — are actually like and get an overview of evidence of their sentience (consciousness). Hear what the contemporary debates in animal ethics are and how they relate to showing moral consideration for nonhuman animals. Find out about a proposed field of research called welfare biology, the study of the wellbeing of animals living in the wild.
