    Los derechos de los animales visto desde la ética: estudio de caso
    (2017) Pesantez Loor, Carmen Magdalena; Plaza Landy, Bertha Elizabeth; Japón Gualán, Ángel Rodrigo
    The present research reflects and synthesizes some current considerations about the animal rights seen from the ethical point of view. It creates an awareness of the situation in which the animals live in company and care of men. For this, we studied two cases: Cuenca and Loja. The question of the research which guided the study was: Why is it important to generate an ethical-social awareness about the respect for animals´ life and their rights? The purpose was to investigate from an ethical and philosophical point of view what are the social implications in regards to considering them as animal rights. It is a bibliographical-documentary study. Among the findings, one can tell that there are ethical positions as: animalism, welfarism, egalitarianism, deontology, biocentrism, sentiocentrism, zoocentrism and egalitarianism, as well as pro and contra theories of animal rights: speciesism, animal ethics, ethics of treatment and utilitarianism.
