Abstract: Abolitionism in animal ethics focuses on the idea that, if animals matter morally, humans are obligated to recognize that animals have a prelegal, moral right not to be used as property. Recognizing this right requires the abolition, and not the regulation, of animal use. Central to abolition is adoption of veganism, or the rejection of eating, wearing, or using animals exclusively as resources. Abolitionism also recognizes the connections between human rights and the rights of nonhumans, and rejects violence.
