Question
Regarding these beings, Gary Francione contrasted Tom Regan’s abolitionist stance with the welfarist position. An argument in favor of these beings is advanced by equating racists with “sophisticated inegalitarians,” then deriving the principle of equal consideration. The argument from marginal cases opposes indirect theories of moral obligations towards these beings, which was advanced by Kant because these beings lack will. Jeremy Bentham asked “can they suffer?” when considering these beings. The term “speciesism” was introduced by Peter Singer in a book titled for these beings’ liberation. For 10 points, PETA advocates for the rights of what non-human creatures? ■END■
ANSWER: animals [or non-human animals; accept animal rights or animal liberation]
