Abstrak

Wacana kesejahteraan hewan di Indonesia jarang dipublikasikan di berbagai platform media sehingga pengetahuan masyarakat tentang kesejahteraan hewan masih sangat kurang. Studi ini membuat kasus untuk. keadilan sosial-lingkungan pf semua makhluk hidup. Studi ini berpendapat untuk keterkaitan masalah sosial-lingkungan dengan teka-teki aspek politik, dalam hal kesejahteraan lumba-lumba. Studi ini berkontribusi pada wacana intelektual tentang pemerintahan. Pendekatan kualitatif dipilih sehubungan dengan menguji 'etika utilitarianisme kesetaraan untuk menggunakan frasa Peter Singer. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman yang lebih besar tentang utilitarianisme telah memotivasi Jaringan Bantuan Satwa Jakarta tentang kesejahteraan lumba-lumba. Pemahaman tersebut membentuk kesadaran dan pendidikan publik. Hal ini kemudian mempengaruhi keputusan pemerintah Indonesia untuk menghentikan sirkus lumba-lumba keliling yang kerap menimbulkan masalah sosial-lingkungan terutama bagi mereka yang peduli terhadap hak-hak seluruh makhluk hidup.
