摘要：The scientific developments of our time have emphasized the continuity between humans and our anthropoid relatives. Of course, humans appear to be different from nonhuman animals, but such differences tend to be relative rather than absolute. Many authors are seeking to bridge the discursively constructed divide that separates animals and humans to reveal a relationship of domination and control. Anyway, this accumulative evidence has not been uniformly persuasive. Why? We’ll follow the opposite way. Firstly, we’ll analyze some of the most popular arguments to justify the human-animal border and, secondly, we’ll try to show their weakness and the necessity to move towards a world that changes borders to practical criteria of responsibility.
