Abstract

Animal experimentation has long been a topic of bioethical, philosphical, and legal debate.1 The vast majority of argumentation against the practice proceeds through deontological and utilitarian premises that may be characterized as largely liberal in theoretical orientation.2 These accounts highlight harms to animals through a methodology of rational argumentation and with a substantive focus on the interests of animals. Argumentation against experimenting on animals rooted in critical theoretical perspectives, i.e. theories that challenge or supplement these classic liberal theories such as ecofeminist and feminist care approaches,3 are considerably less prominent in the scholarship contesting animal experimentation.4
