NEVER-ENDING LOCKDOWN
Today billions of animals live in zoos, farms, private homes, shops, markets, aquariums, circuses, laboratories, and many other institutions. Is it ethical to keep animals in captivity? Indeed, animals do not miss what they do not know, but this by no means can be used as a decent argument pro confinement. This article will argue that animals are sentient beings and deserve to live their lives to the fullest; it is irrelevant whether they are autonomous, provide any benefits, or have a 'special relationship' with humans. Humans often decide on the fate of those animals. As long as humans do not change their attitudes and/or develop empathy, sympathy and compassion towards all animals, there is no point in addressing any moral theory.
