Can animals be people? Andrew Revkin addresses this question and the ethical issues it raises in his article for the New York Times entitled “When is a Person Not a Human? When it’s a Dolphin, or Chimp, or…” Specifically, he focuses on the recent push to have dolphins recognized as persons due to their complex mental faculties and the ethical arguments which proponents of this view use to claim moral rights for dolphins and other animals capable of “higher” forms of mental activity and social…
