Animal Sentience: An Interdisciplinary Journal on Animal Feeling, 2016

The only way Ng can derive this from the axiology he assumes (the view that wellbeing is the only intrinsically valuable or disvaluable thing) would be to assume that ecosystem conservation would benefit the individuals involved. This can be so as long as value prevails over disvalue in the target environments. Ng seems to assume this is indeed the case, but he does not explain why, and it is a claim that goes against the conclusions he has argued for previously.

Relations: Beyond Anthropocentrism, 2015
The question of the disvalue suffered by animals in nature, that is, the problem of suffering and... more The question of the disvalue suffered by animals in nature, that is, the problem of suffering and other harms suffered by animals in nature, has taken on a new relevance at present, becoming a matter of great practical importance, to be addressed in applied ethics. Taking this disvalue into account, several authors have examined its moral implications. This paper reviews the main literature that has dealt with those issues over the last years. It presents an annotated bibliography of principal works on this question. The existence of subsequent inclusion of essays in a collective work is indicated in the notes.

Lleva esto a cabo mediante un examen de la literatura acerca de este tema publicada en castellano entre 2009 y 2014. El artículo indica que la atención que este tema ha recibido está lejos de ser desdeñable, y apunta las principales cuestiones y posiciones que han sido tratadas y defendidas en la literatura (las cuales incluyen enfoques generales opuestos a la explotación animal o al especismo, posturas favorables al especismo y posiciones a favor de ayudar a los animales en la naturaleza en contra de lo que se mantiene desde posturas ambientalistas). El artículo concluye que es de esperar que la atención dada a la investigación en este campo aumente en el futuro.
ABSTRACT: This paper examines how the question of speciesism and the moral consideration of nonhuman animals has been addressed in recent years in the academic world in Spanish speaking countries. It does so by examining the literature on this issue which has been published in Spanish between 2009 and 2014. The paper points out that the attention the issue has received is far from negligible and outlines out the main topics and positions that have been addressed and defended in the literature (which includes general approaches opposing animal exploitation or speciesism, views supporting speciesism and positions in favor of helping animals in nature in opposition to what environmentalist views claim). The paper concludes that research on this topic is likely to receive growing attention in the future.

La existencia de desvalor sufrido por los animales en sus hábitats naturales abre diversos interrogantes de carácter axiológico y normativo. En relación con este tema, se ha publicado recientemente un número especial de la revista Ágora: papeles de filosofía que aborda esta cuestión.
Over the past few years, a large number of academics have begun to address the “problem of evil in nature”, or the “new problem of evil”; that is, the problem of the suffering and other damages that animals in ecosystems endure. The disvalue that animals suffer in their natural habitats opens the door to axiological and normative questions. A special issue of the magazine Ágora: papeles de filosofía is devoted to this topic.

Este artículo repasa esta cuestión mediante una bibliografía anotada que abarca las principales obras dedicadas a ella durante el periodo indicado. Veremos que estas pueden caer en tres categorías distintas, en función de si tienen como objeto cuestionar las posiciones que han sido denominadas especistas, oponerse al cuestionamiento de estas por motivos puramente antropocéntricos, o rechazarlo por razones de carácter ecologista.
