Summary
Audio version of web page: https://www.animal-ethics.org/providing-for-basic-needs/ Some of the main reasons animals die in the wild are weather conditions and lack of food and water. Moreover, during food shortages those who don’t starve to death suffer from malnourishment and hunger, as well as thirst. However, it is possible to build shelters for them which can make a difference between life and death and can prevent significant suffering. It’s sometimes possible to provide animals with food and water, although this needs to be calculated very carefully, as otherwise we may increase, rather than reduce, wild animal suffering.
