Abstract
We treat animals naturally. Humans share some nature with nonhuman animals. But attributes appear that are qualitatively and quantitatively not present in nonhumans. Humans are moral in culture and we can further ask how humans should treat animals, who are morally considerable though not in culture. They should be treated naturally, that is, recognizing their intrinsic animal natures and their ecological places in the world.
