Injustice - Climate Change

An animal, Kapila, goes about her life, doing all the things an animal does. While pursuing her goals, she runs into various hurdles, a few frivolous, and unimportant to her life, and a few that are more serious - an illness, a storm that wrecks her home. She has problems but has not suffered injustice.

But, another creature encroaches on her space, stops her from reaching her goals. What, if Kapila's home was destroyed deliberately by a creature?

Suppose, Kapila was kept captive in unsanitary conditions, was not allowed to walk about, and suffered violence at the hands of the other creature.

If Kapila were a human being, it would be apparent to us that she had suffered injustice.

Should the fact that she is a nonhuman animal matter?

Should not our conception of justice make space for Kapila?

Think. Respond. Act.
