So, here are some proposition and some questions about them which are intended to flush out some of the issues embedded in the previous conversation:
1) Humans have moral responsibilities towards non-human animals,
2) non-human animals have moral responsibilities towards humans.
3) non-human animals have moral responsibilities to other non-human animals but not to humans
If 1) is true, in virtue of what do those responsibilities arise, and what are they?
If 1) is not true, why not?
If 2) is true, in virtue of what do those responsibilities arise, and what are they?
If 2) is not true, why not?
If 3) is true how is the scope of non-human animal's moral responsibility determined?
