SUMMARY:"Fairness measures are not fair for the animals" with Angela Bischo
 f
DESCRIPTION:\nThere is an active debate among philosophers and scientists c
 oncerning whether non-human animals (hereafter ‘animals’) have a sense
  of fairness. One problem with the debate is evidence for each view is cen
 tered around distributive fairness—whether animals share resources equal
 ly and protest unequal distributions. I will argue we do not know whether 
 animals have a sense of distributive fairness. Current empirical evidence 
 is inconclusive— some studies suggest animals do share resources equally
 \, other studies suggest they do not share resources equally. Similarly\, 
 some studies suggest animals do protest unequal distributions\, and other 
 studies suggest they do not protest unequal distributions. But the evidenc
 e on neither side is strong enough to override the conflicting evidence on
  the other side.\nLuckily\, this inconclusiveness is not a problem\, becau
 se although distributive fairness is sufficient for a sense of fairness\, 
 it is not necessary. Retributive fairness is also sufficient for a sense o
 f fairness. Since animals do have a sense of retributive fairness\, and si
 nce retributive fairness is a kind of fairness\, I conclude that animals d
 o have a sense of fairness.\nAngela Bischof is an assistant teaching profe
 ssor of philosophy at Northern Arizona University. She received her PhD fr
 om Duke University in 2022. Her research concerns animal cognition and mor
 ality.\n\n\n\n
