Just one point I am missing in this debate. The issues concerning humans' relation to other animals should be articulated in the light of what Marx calls humanisation of nature - not enslavement. There is a passage in Capital where Marx tallks about humans relation to donky. The implication is this: if humans would deal with a donky as donky they would degrade themselves to a donky. Therefore they must deal with a donky as a human as much as possible. So Marx's point is not enslavement but humanisation of organic as well as anorganic nature. Dogan
