摘要

Bramble(2021)最近发表的一篇论文认为，鉴于捕食者会给猎物带来痛苦和恐惧，我们有道德权利采取行动，将这些影响降到最低。作者提出了两种选择。第一种方法是通过“对食肉动物进行基因改造，使它们的后代逐渐进化成食草动物”来改造它们。第二个是简单的“无痛地杀死捕食者”，这也是布兰布尔文章的标题。我们解决了Bramble在其论点中作为中心的误解，并提出了科学推理，以讨论在处理动物福利和动物权利时无视科学知识的伦理含义。我们的结论是，Bramble的两种选择都是荒谬的，不仅从科学的角度来看，而且更重要的是，从伦理的角度来看。

Can scientific laws be discussed on philosophical grounds? a reply to naïve arguments on ‘predators’ proposed by Bramble (2021)

A recent paper by Bramble (2021) argues that given that predators inflict pain and fear on their prey we have the moral right to act to minimize these effects. The author proposes two alternatives. The first is to transform predators by ‘genetically modifying them so that their offspring gradually evolve into herbivores’. The second is simply ‘painlessly killing predators’, which is the title of Bramble’s essay. We address the misconceptions that Bramble uses as central in his arguments and present scientific reasoning to discuss the ethical implications of disregarding scientific knowledge when addressing animal welfare and animal rights. We conclude that both Bramble’s alternatives are nonsensical, not only from a scientific point of view, but also, and more importantly, from ethical grounds.

期刊介绍： Animal Biodiversity and Conservation (antes Miscel·lània Zoològica) es una revista interdisciplinar, publicada desde 1958 por el Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona. Incluye artículos de investigación empírica y teórica en todas las áreas de la zoología (sistemática, taxonomía, morfología, biogeografía, ecología, etología, fisiología y genética) procedentes de todas las regiones del mundo. La revista presta especial interés a los estudios que planteen un problema nuevo o introduzcan un tema nuevo, con hipòtesis y prediccions claras, y a los trabajos que de una manera u otra tengan relevancia en la biología de la conservación. No se publicaran artículos puramente descriptivos, o artículos faunísticos o corológicos en los que se describa la distribución en el espacio o en el tiempo de los organismes zoológicos.
