16Humans and Dolphins: An Exploration of Anthropocentrism in Applied Environmental EthicsJournal of Animal Ethics 3 (1): 85-99. 2013.This article argues that one of the reasons that the unethical character of much human-dolphin contact is not more apparent to ethicists is that discussion of central issues has been colored with unintentional species bias. This article points out weaknesses in the traditional approach to discussing topics that bear on the question of whether dolphins have moral standing. It demonstrates that discussions of the cognitive abilities of dolphins by Steven Wise and Alasdair MacIntyre are unintention…Read more

23Whales, Dolphins and Humans: Challenges in Interspecies EthicsIn Andrew Linzey & Clair Linzey (eds.), The Palgrave Handbook of Practical Animal Ethics, Palgrave Macmillan Uk. pp. 233-245. 2018.The discoveries of marine mammal scientists over the last 50 years have made it clear that whales and dolphins demonstrate advanced intellectual and emotional traits once believed to be unique to humans. Sadly, discussions of cetacean captivity are regularly marked by unsophisticated approaches to ethics. Senior scientists regularly fail to demonstrate even the most rudimentary skills of ethical analysis. As a result, most discussions of cetacean captivity in the marine mammal community are inte…Read more

12Introduction: The Ethics of CaptivityIn Andrew Linzey & Clair Linzey (eds.), The Palgrave Handbook of Practical Animal Ethics, Palgrave Macmillan Uk. pp. 147-152. 2018.Of all the issues related to animal ethics discussed in this handbook, perhaps the most visible is captivity. This chapter begins with an overarching critique of captivity in Lori Gruen’s “Incarceration, Liberty and Dignity.” It proceeds to a fundamental challenge to the ethical defensibility of zoos in Liz Tyson’s “Speciesism and Zoos.” The final set of essays detail the harm produced by the captivity of nonhuman animals who are known to be intellectually, emotionally and socially sophisticated…Read more

39Dolphin peopleThe Philosophers' Magazine 49 36-43. 2010.The existence of nonhuman persons would fly in the face of everything our species has believed about its uniqueness for thousands of years. If an “animal” like a dolphin actually has all of the traits of a “person”, that would call for as fundamental, dramatic and unsettling a shift in how we see ourselves as abandoning a geocentric view of the heavens did. In the same way that Earth no longer occupied the centre of the universe, neither would humans. It would also call for a shift in how humans…Read more

65Business, Ethics, and Carol Gilligan's "Two Voices"Business Ethics Quarterly 2 (1): 51-61. 1992.This article argues that Carol Gilligan's research in moral development psychology, work which claims that women speak about ethics in a "different voice" than men do, is applicable to business ethics. This essay claims that Gilligan's "ethic of care" provides a plausible explanation for the results of two studies that found men and women handling ethical dilemmas in business differently. This paper also speculates briefly about the management implications of Gilligan's ideas.

43Doing Business in Morally Troubled WatersInternational Journal of Applied Philosophy 14 (2): 197-208. 2000.This essay argues that humans have not fully understood the cognitive and affective capacities of dolphins, and that we have mistakenly defended as morally acceptable practices that actually harm dolphins. In particular, this essay argues that the current use of hundreds of captive dolphins by Sea World and similar facilities in the entertainment industry is ethically indefensible. Focusing primarily on critical differences between humans and dolphins, this essay argues that central concepts lik…Read more
