Animal ethics and environmental ethics

This video discusses views in environmental ethics, including ecocentrism, species focused views, wilderness focused views, and biocentrism. It discusses how, contrary to their hopes, many environmentalist positions have a basis in anthropocentrism. We can see this from the fact that animals are sacrificed for environmentalist goals, but humans never are.

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.
