Animal Torture: A Critique Of Thick Libertarianism

    (Loyola University New Orleans)

Abstract

Torturing helpless animals is among the most despicable acts known to man. And, yet, prohibition by law is not an option open to libertarianism, which deals, solely, with intra-human relations. Is this then a weakness, not to say a fatal one, in the freedom philosophy? We deny this, and utilize thin libertarianism to make our case.
