Abstract
- The article examines the ethical and practical challenges of eradicating invasive goats from the Galápagos Islands to protect native species like the Galápagos tortoises, raising questions about the morality of such actions. Topics discussed include the moral dilemma between saving native species versus invasive species, the extensive measures taken for eradication, and the broader implications for animal rights and conservation ethics.
