Animal Ethics in the Wild 2022
Animal Ethics in the Wild is a 2022 book written by Portuguese philosopher Catia Faria and published by Cambridge University Press. The work explores wild animal suffering as an ethical issue and claims that humans may have moral grounds to help wild animals if such actions are anticipated to decrease suffering without resulting in worse outcomes.
Faria analyzes discussions within animal ethics and environmental ethics, covering arguments both supporting and opposing interference in natural processes. The book addresses concerns regarding perversity, futility, and risk, while examining the ethical significance of speciesism, sentience, and well-being. Critics have reviewed the text in terms of wild animal consciousness, moral relevance, ecological ethics, and real-world consequences of intervention.
