Sue Donaldson

Sue Donaldson is a prominent philosopher known for her work in animal ethics, particularly in advocating for the rights and welfare of non-human animals. In her influential book, "Zoopolis," she presents a framework that argues for recognizing animals as members of our political community, deserving consideration and respect. Donaldson suggests that ethical treatment of animals requires us to rethink our relationships with them, moving beyond traditional views that often marginalize their interests. Her ideas encourage a deeper understanding of the moral obligations humans have towards animals in society, emphasizing their intrinsic value and the need for inclusive ethical considerations.
