<p>The environment has traditionally been considered as a unitary entity without paying attention to the different elements that compose it (soil, water, atmosphere, flora, fauna and the processes that interrelate them). For this reason, the assignment of biocentric or anthropocentric motivations to people has been made in relation to the global environment. This research pays attention to one of the elements of the environment, animals, which has been little studied in the concern for the environment. For this reason, the assignment of biocentric or anthropocentric motivations to people has been made in relation to the global environment. This research pays attention to one of the elements of the environment, animals, which has been little studied in the concern for the environment. This positive assessment of the welfare of the animals is qualified when considering the responses on preference, fear and disgust for different animal species: (i) mammals are preferred and arthropods are rejected (comparison between taxonomic groups); and (ii) exotic species absent from Argentina ecosystems are preferred, and common species are rejected. The role that the empathic processes could play in this apparent positive assessment of animals in general (against environmental problems) and of some species in particular is discussed.</p><br/>The following message is being delivered on behalf of Interamerican Journal of Psychology.
