- Abstract
Our moral feelings enable us to extend moral considerations to nonhuman sensitive beings, no matter if they are rational agents, have moral concepts etc. or not. The question, however, is: Are we willing to sacrifice a part of our interests in favor of more serious interests or needs of nonhumans? The paper offers a critical reconsid-eration of the basic assumptions of the theory of "indirect moral status". Unlike Peter Carruthers's theory I argue that nonhuman sentient beings are directly morally con-siderable.
