The concept of nonhuman animal dignity is much less discussed than human dignity but is starting to attract philosophical interest. This paper examines 'animal dignity' and details four possible kinds, namely dignity as inherent worth and/or high moral significance, dignity related to flourishing animal natures and justice, social dignity, and honour-based dignity. The paper reviews criticisms of animal dignity and offers some replies. It considers possible implications of recognising dignity for animals and for our treatment of them
