The ba- sic thought seems to be that Donaldson and Kymlicka’s model of in- terspecies justice, which regards domesticated animals as already members of the political community and advocates for the formal recognition of that fact, is nonetheless underpinned by a moral hi- erarchy that privileges humans over other animals.	cache/humanimalia-19619.pdf	txt/humanimalia-19619.txt
