The sense the audience feel when Euripides Medea murders her children to enact revenge upon her faithless husband goes beyond horror at the death and violence.

If trust requires considered judgements about the moral values and beliefs of others then where is the space for trust between parent and child, and trust between human and non-human animal?

Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. One relevant feature of these cases is the betrayal of innocents. If not, then we need to ascertain whether the betrayals of animal trust in farming and scientific research are of the sort that merits moral disapproval. In response to the cruelty of industrialised factory farming, and the treatment of research animals as mere tools, there has been a push towards greater humananimal interaction. At the same time as heightening vulnerability to harm, the presence of good-will in trusting relationships gives us reason to value those relationships for their intrinsic qualities.

Reliability is not the same as trust, and we can see from the example that it is possible to rely upon an untrustworthy person. Our ability to reliably respond to animal behaviour gives us good reason to accept that they have beliefs (Midgley (1983, 5859).Footnote 5 When a dairy cow docilely allows a farmer to remove her calf, or a beagle is taken by its handler for vivisection, these creatures do not permit themselves to be treated in such a manner merely because they have reliable expectations about their safety, they also often do so because they have formed emotional bonds.
