Questions of animal ethics are discussed and reflected upon in both academic and social settings today. Recently theology has also discovered this topic and has meanwhile dealt with it many times. A major focus has been placed on the relationship between humans and animals, so that animal ethics has been given a new profile as the ethics of human-animal relations. Thus, the question of human beings within this ethics has been newly taken into consideration. In theology both humans and animals can be understood as creatures of God living together in a community of creation. Theology thus not only complements the general discourse on animal ethics, it rather considers it with an independent perspective.
