### Anti-Rewilding | **Definiendum** | **Definiens** | |:-------------------------------------------:|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **W** | something (x) has negative rights | | **N** | we should defend something (x) from rights violations to any lesser degree than we would tolerate for humans | | **F** | it is permissible to subject animals to conditions that are likely to involve predation, starvation, or death due to environmental exposure to any greater degree than we would tolerate for humans | | **a** | animal |
P1) For all things, if something has negative rights, then we should not defend it from rights violations to any lesser degree than we would tolerate for humans.
(∀x(Wx→¬Nx))
P2)
Animals have negative rights.
(Wa)
P3)
If we should not defend animals from rights violations to any lesser degree than we would tolerate for humans, then it is not permissible to subject animals to conditions that are likely to involve predation, starvation, or death due to environmental exposure to any greater degree than we would tolerate for humans.
(¬Na→¬F)
C)
Therefore, it is not permissible to subject animals to conditions that are likely to involve predation, starvation, or death due to environmental exposure to any greater degree than we would tolerate for humans.
(∴¬F)
