Excerpt from: Searching for Sustainability Interdisciplinary Essays in the Philosophy of Conservation Biology by Bryan G. Norton --
section: Animals in Human Communities

Our obligations to domestic animals - farm animals, pets, and other animals that are integrated into our lives on a day-to-day basis - are far more extensive than our obligations to wild animals. The context in which we interact with these animals implies a contract to look after them. We have brought them into our community, and we are obliged to feed them, to care for them if they are injured, and so forth. We also accept the responsibility for controlling their populations. Some of these responsibilities rest on us because of unfortunate choices of actions of our predecessors and ancestors. The morally relevant fact is not usually the content of experience of an individual creature but the context of our interactions with it. The more we meddle in the daily lives of wild animals, the more we accept moral responsibility for the consequences of our actions in their individual lives.
