The paper consists of considerations about the harm of killing sentient animals and is inspired by the John Sanbonmatsu’s criticism of Peter Singer’s views, as well as elements of Tom Regan’s animal rights theory and Elizabeth Harman’s concept of animal stages. Selected criteria relevant to considerations about the acceptability of killing are analyzed, such as having a preference to live and a psychophysical identity over time, as well as the compatibility of philosophical views with the common intuition regarding the harm of taking life.
