AB Krause's philosophy deserves to be memorized as the first link in a chain of thinking on animal rights that is still on the way today. Though Krause was not the first to talk of animal rights in the history of animal ethics, his theory of animal rights is pathbreaking in embedding a conception of animal rights in an all-encompassing metaphysical system. The essay situates Krause's theory of animal rights in the framework of his general theory of rights and points to the challenges Krause's theory faces by the inevitability of trade-offs between animal and human rights.
