About

Animals are different from humans, but there is no one difference and only some differences are morally relevant. Too many moral theories say "only one thing is relevant to how we treat others" and affirm that animals meet, or fail to meet, the relevant requiriement. But life is more complicated, because there are scores of relevant considerations and the treatment of animals needs to be considered carefully case by case.
