Philosopher Carl Cohen writes that, “If animals have any rights, they must have the right not to be killed to advance the interest of others.” Another way of putti
35、ng this is that those who assert (坚持 ) the rights of animals are in effect assertingfirst and foremosta right to life for all animals.
