“Other nations”:
towards a theory of animal’s territorial rights
Keywords:
territorial rights, animal rights, territorial justice, environmentAbstract
For a long time, political philosophy neglected the question of territory. Very recently philosophers have begun to ask questions like the following: Is there really a right to territory? What does it mean having a right over territory? Who is entitled over territory? How this right is justified? Are territorial rights equivalent to property rights? Now, while the answers that have been offered to some of these questions cast some light on the topic, allowing a more enlightening approach to such issues as migration, nationalism and secession, there is an aspect virtually unexplored until now: the territorial rights of nonhuman animals. If animals are the kind of beings who can possess rights, they can have rights to territory? This article will attempt to provide some elements to begin to articulate an answer to this important yet unexplored question.
