Este artículo trata sobre la naturaleza y el alcance de las obligaciones éticas que los humanos tienen con los animales, derivadas del hecho de que éstos otros seres están vivos. También se presta atención a cómo las preocupaciones éticas de los seres humanos individuales se transforman en posiciones sociales y, finalmente, leyes para la protección de los animales a través del concepto de la utilización respetuosa de los animales por los humanos. Se dan cuatro grandes principios sobre los cuales se puede construir una ética amigable con los animales. This article addresses the nature and scope of the ethical duties that humans have toward animals which arise out of the fact that these other beings are alive. Attention is also given to how the ethical concerns of individual humans will be transformed into social positions and ultimately laws for the protection of animals through the concept of the respectful use of animals by humans. Four broad principles are provided upon which an animal friendly ethic can be built.
