11.5 Animal Rights
Previously in this chapter we have already noted how some issues of the environment and business involve non-human organisms. We use the somewhat cumbersome term “non-human organisms” when we wish to acknowledge that there are other forms of life beyond those we normally call “animals.” Most ethical thinkers concern themselves mainly with animals, however, and so we will use thate term here in this brief section on animal rights.
