ABSTRACT

This is a critique of Timothy Hsiao’s ‘A Moral Defense of Trophy Hunting.’ I argue that Hsiao’s arguments on pain, consciousness, behavior, cruelty, and necessity all fail. More importantly, I argue against his broader conclusion that non-human animals ‘do not have any inherent moral significance.’ My conclusion is that Hsiao’s moral defense of trophy hunting fails.

奖杯狩猎的道德辩护及其失败的原因

摘要

这是对 Timothy Hsiao 的“战利品狩猎的道德辩护”的批判。我认为，萧对痛苦、意识、行为、残忍和必要性的论证都失败了。更重要的是，我反对他关于非人类动物“没有任何内在道德意义”的更广泛结论。我的结论是，萧对战利品狩猎的道德辩护失败了。
