Episode 10 - Oscar Horta - Interventions and advocacy for wild-animal suffering

Morality is Hard

In this episode I spoke with Oscar Horta about wild-animal suffering. Oscar is a Spanish animal activist and moral philosopher and is currently a professor in the department of philosophy and anthropology at the University of Santiago de Compostela. He is one of the co-founders of Animal Ethics. We started by defining the problem of wild-animal suffering, talked about what we should do, if anything, about the problem, covered some common objections, talked about specific interventions to help wild animals and some strategies for advocacy to help wild animals.
