Zusammenfassung:There is ecology and there is deep ecology. Deep ecology is closely related to cosmo-ethics. Implicit cosmo-ethical attitudes are reflected in our present-day, wide-spread concern to include the animal kingdom as a whole in the realms of our ethical conduct, which sometimes even takes the shape of support for "animal rights."

The implicit thesis of this article is precisely that, animals too have moral and spiritual capacities, a fact deeply perceived by parts of the Indian tradition.
