Question 2

According to (what Regan calls) the indirect duty view of the treatment of animals, we

a. have a duty to animals to prevent their suffering, but the duty is best met
indirectly by having experts do the work of preventing animal suffering.
b. have no real duties to animals themselves, but if harming an animal causes
suffering in a human, then our duties to the human may imply that we should not
cause harm to the animal.
c. have direct duties only when we cheerfully and willingly volunteer for them, but
indirect duties if we merely accept them as obligations.
d. have important duties to animals, but those duties are not as important as those we
have to other humans.

immediate cause of that suffering.
