If Santa is a bad boy who keeps his presents back? I was just told that a couple of farms that increase their income by being Christmas winter lands have come under criticism for the treatment of reindeer. They are worried about reprisals from animal activists. Oddly a story in the Telegraph goes the other way: showing how seals may commit harm. But would they be doing wrong? If animals are to be treated as moral patients, should they — are they — also moral agents?
