En primer lugar, si son válidas las razones de la ética tradicional para hacer coincidir los límites de la comunidad moral con los de la especie humana. Y en segundo lugar, la de qué tipo de obligaciones tendríamos para con los animales en el caso de que a estos se les reconociese entidad moral. El autor defiende la relevan-cia de los intereses animales en nuestras decisiones morales, pero critica que éstas se tomen equiparando dichos intereses con los de los humanos o bien derivando de ellos la existencia de derechos individuales para los animales.]]></p></abstract>

First, whether traditional reasons for the coincidence between the limits of moral community and the limits of human species are valid. Second, the question of what kind of obligations we would have with animals in case of we would recognize moral entity to them. The author defends the importance of the animal intereses in our moral decisions, but he critics that we decide either putting animal intereses on the same level with human intereses or maintaining that animal intereses entail animals have individual rights.]]></p></abstract>
