Some sources define egalitarianism as equality reflecting the natural state of humanity.[8][9][10] Many philosophers, including Ingmar Persson,[18] Peter Vallentyne,[19] Nils Holtug,[20] Catia Faria[21] and Lewis Gompertz,[22] have argued that egalitarianism implies that the interests of non-human animals must be taken into account as well.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9988.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9988.txt
