so so far we have three rough positions right?

1) anthropocentrismis morally justifiable because an animal cannot feel wronged

2) morals are irrelevant to the question at hand because all species act in such a way as to maximize their biological imperative to suvive and there is nothing "moral" or "immoral" about the process of natural selection

3) it is impossible to act in a non anthropocentric way therefore any human socioeconomic system would have an antrhropocentric basis

any others?

also boro: in answer to your question, you invite all the animals to your planning committee meetings. you might need a translator for some of the invertibrates though, they don't speak human langauges that well
