2007Julia Tanne. Can Animals have preference-interests?. ethic@ - An international Journal for Moral Philosophy, v. 6, n. 1, p. 35-40, 2007.1
It has been argued that only moral agents can have preference-interests and this therefore excludes animals. I will present two objections to this argument. The first will show that moral agency is not necessary to have preference-interests. The second will assert that the argument that animals cannot have preference-interests has unwelcome consequences.
