Should we care about wild animals?

I recently debated Norwegian philosopher Morten Tønnesen (right) on the topic of wild animal suffering. Though we´re both concerned with animal welfare, and we´re both vegetarians for ethical reasons, we had diverging opinions on suffering that is not caused by humans. The debate was in Norwegian, but if you´re interested in my take on the issue, I´ve written a paper on it: “The Ethics of Wild Animal Suffering.”
