Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence 2 (2) (2018)
| Abstract |
The thesis of this paper is that games and sports that harm nonhuman animals are
unethical because they exceed the permissible limits of optional harm and the more harm the game
imposes on the nonhuman animal(s) it objectifies the worse the ethical transgression. Factors in the
analysis include the nature of games and sports, the ontology of beings (i.e., human and nonhuman
animals) in games, the mitigating power of informed consent among human game-players and its
absence among nonhuman game players, harm, and intent.
