In what respect is Tom Regan's Kantian approach to animal ethics a difficult approach?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

ANS:
A hierarchy of dignity might help the Kantian distinguish between the intrinsic worth of different kinds of animals. Humans would presumably be at the top of the hierarchy, with very sophisticated mammals just below us, and less aware animals further down.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
Regan's view, which implies that animals have dignity and worth in the same way humans do, is radically different from our everyday morality. For example, whether to save a human baby or a kitten from a burning building becomes a genuinely difficult moral question. Most people would take it to be obvious that the baby has greater worth, and hence ought to be saved.
