Full textAbstract:
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel SuperiorEste trabalho pretende mostrar que o debate sobre os Direitos Animais possui relevÃncia filosÃfica. Ele destaca o fato de que questÃes concernentes aos animais remetem tambÃm ao homem. Trata-se de um esforÃo para mostrar que restringir aos seres humanos a condiÃÃo de detentores de direitos morais consiste num equÃvoco e, portanto, hà a necessidade de uma Ãtica nÃo antropocÃntrica. O foco principal à a contribuiÃÃo de Tom Regan, o autor afirma que por serem sencientes, os animais sÃo sujeitos de uma vida e possuem o que ele chama de valor inerente, ou seja, suas vidas tÃm um valor e fim em si. Tais afirmaÃÃes sÃo fundamentadas em pesquisas cientÃficas sobre a consciÃncia animal e estudos de etologia. à tambÃm objeto desta investigaÃÃo a abordagem de Peter Singer, que defende o Bem-estarismo animal tendo a senciÃncia como um princÃpio moral. Ressaltamos ainda que, uma vez que a expressÃo âdireitos dos animaisâ comumente se refere à concessÃo de respeito pelos seres humanos aos animais a partir de determinados critÃrios sem que lhes caibam direitos especÃficos, a noÃÃo de âdireitos animaisâ parte do pressuposto de que possuem direitos e que devemos reconhecÃ-los a despeito de nossa vontade; tentaremos corroborar a segunda tese.
This work is intended to show that the debate concerning animal rights is philosophically relevant. It points out the fact that animal issues are related to human beings as well. Therefore, this dissertation is an effort to demonstrate that it is wrong to attribute only to human beings the status of holders of moral rights and that it is necessary to conceive an ethical framework grounded on a non-anthropocentric view. Particular attention is devoted here to the contribution of Tom Reagan who asserts animals are subjects of life and possess what is called inherent value, i.e., animalsâ lives are not means to accomplish ends external to themselves. These affirmations are grounded on scientific studies of animal consciousness and on ethology. Peter Singerâs defense of the well-being of animals based on the fact that they are sentient beings will be also investigated. The expression rights of animals is not used in the context of this demarche because it relates to the respect humans beings should have to non-human animals without the recognition of them as holders of specific moral rights. The expression animal rights is purported to corroborate the notion that such rights are a reality to be accepted regardless the will of human beings.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this essay is to critically examine the current legal status of animals in the United States and offer possible alternatives to the current legal rights for animals. This essay examines the failures of the legal system in protecting animals that have abilities very similar to our own. With an examination of these types of animals, this essay will explain why some animals merit the status of legal personhood to protect them from being carelessly used by others. Ultimately, this essay is an attempt to open the field of legal protection for many animals starting with a few through legal personhood.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines questions concerning the place of animals within our moral thought. In particular it is an investigation of the rationale behind extending our ethical systems to encompass the inclusion of animals. The thesis begins with a presentation of a general framework defining rights and their relationship to obligations. It then includes an assessment of whether or not animals, according to the general framework, can properly be called rights bearers. In order to do this, the questions of whether or not animals have value independent of their value to human beings and whether or not animals have interests are examined.Though the thesis concerns itself with animals it is not merely an examination of animal rights. In order to investigate fully the place of animals within our moral thought, many concepts which are central to ethics such as "rights", "equality", "value", and "affinity" are examined. The thesis concludes with the implications its findings have on human actions.

Full textAbstract:
Non-human animals suffer greatly and are exploited in numerous ways by humans. This is a grave injustice that points to an urgent need for an adequate framework from which to protect animals from mistreatment by humans. Although classical theories in the animal rights literature have existed for some time now, in recent years few theorists have engaged in the effort to find more persuasive theories under which the mistreatment of animals by humans should be considered. Two influential attempts to develop such a theory were undertaken by Martha Nussbaum in her article and book chapter "Beyond Compassion and Humanity: Justice for Nonhuman Animals" (2004, 2006), and by Robert Garner in his books Animal Ethics (2005) and A Theory of Justice for Animals: Animal Rights in a Nonideal World (2013). In this paper, I argue that both these approaches have fundamental flaws that prevent them from being adequate theoretical frameworks under which to protect animals. Through careful examination of the theories, I show why they can't fulfill what they claim to, and should be rejected.
The only real way to protect animals, I argue, is to assign them universal rights under the theoretical concept of justice. Taking animal rights seriously means that they have these rights by virtue of their selfhood and sentience. An application of this view means an extension of the rights view, widely acknowledged since the human rights revolution, to animals. Such an extension would mean that virtually all human exploitive treatment of animals ought to be abolished. It calls for a new paradigm shift in human-animal relationships. It is now the appropriate historical and political moment for such an extension.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Despite growing academic interest in the human–animal relationship, little research has been directed toward the political regulation of animal treatment. Even less attention has been accorded to the emergence of the long dominant paradigm in this policy area, namely, the ideology of animal welfare. This book attempts to address this gap by chronicling the early history of animal politics in Sweden with the aim of producing a critical, deconstructive genealogy of animal cruelty and animal welfare. The study ranges from the first political debates about animal cruelty in 1844 to the institution of Sweden’s first comprehensive animal protection act in 1944. Taking a post-Marxist and psychoanalytically informed approach to discourse analysis, the study focuses on how the “problem” of animal cruelty was articulated in the parliamentary debates and government documents throughout the period: What was the problem of animal (mis)treatment represented to be? What kinds of animal (ab)use were rendered uncontroversial? What kind of affective investments and ideological fantasies underpinned these discursive constructions, and how did the problematizations change over time? The book contains six empirical chapters that deal with the most important legal revisions in the period as well as the parallel debates about animal experimentation and slaughter. Two major discursive regimes—an early “anti-cruelty regime” and a later “animal welfare regime”—are identified in the material, and the transition between them is theorized in terms of discursive antagonism and dislocation. Focusing on the conflict between competing discursive logics, the study charts a century of ideological struggles through which our modern attitudes toward animals were born. The book also offers a critical reinterpretation of the success story of animal welfare. Against the assumption that modern animal welfarism progressively grew out of the preceding anti-cruelty regime, the central claim of this book is that the “welfarist turn” that took place in the 1930s and 1940s also functioned to re-entrench society’s speciesist values and de-problematize the exploitation of animals for human purposes.

Resumo: A partir de estudo etnográfico em congressos, manifestações públicas e encontros organizados ao redor do tema do vegetarianismo e da luta pelos direitos animais, a dissertação descreve a formação e a dinâmica de um movimento político em território brasileiro, expondo as principais discussões que mobilizam os ativistas na busca da emancipação dos animais na sociedade. Orientada pelo debate antropológico contemporâneo, voltado para observação das relações entre humanos e não-humanos, pode-se analisar uma discussão atual, na qual os atores não-humanos adquirem status de sujeito, o que mobiliza humanos na formação de um novo modo de fazer política e de se relacionar, em variadas esferas da vida social: a mudança de hábitos alimentares (disseminação da dieta vegetariana), o entretenimento (fim do uso de animais em circos, rodeios, touradas), bem como a revisão e a reflexão profundas sobre o modo de produção científica (fim dos testes em animais em pesquisas biomédicas e início de uma visão, dentro das ciências humanas, que encare seres não-humanos como atores sociais)
Abstract: Starting from an ethnographic study at conferences, public events and meetings organized around the theme of the vegetarianism and the struggle for animal rights, the manuscript describes the formation and dynamics of a political movement in Brazilian territory, exposing the main discussions that mobilize activists in pursuit of the emancipation of the animals in society. Guided by contemporary anthropological debate, aimed at observing the relationship between humans and nonhumans, can analyze a current discussion, in which nonhumans acquire status of subject, which mobilizes humans to the formation of a new way of doing politics and the relationship in various spheres of social life: changing eating habits (spread of vegetarian diet), entertainment (ending the use of animals in circuses, rodeos, bullfights), as well as review and reflection about scientific production (end of animal testing in biomedical researches and the beginning of a vision within the Human sciences, which sees non-human beings as social actors)

Full textAbstract:
Growing up as a child, we had a Dog. To us, it was like a means to an end. That is, hunting other animals for food and for protection, with no special care and treatment given to this animal. Butas days passed by I began to witness a wind of change against such actions. I was made to understand that we were committing two crimes-: using the Dog as a means to an end (for hunting and for eating animals). Today almost every newspaper has something to say about the treatment of animals by humans, especially in their use as experimentation subjects. This has led to the wide spread arguments about “Animal right” and “Animal equality” Advocates of the above arguments hold that just like humans, animals too have rights and are in many ways like humans. There also exist animal right groups. Organisations and countries now have laws regulating animal used in the laboratory. If I may be permitted, I will want to say that the world is in a state of dilemma regarding animal experimentation. While some argue against it, based on the claim that these animals have no right and are not equal to humans, others argue in favour of it on claims that animals have moral rights, feel pain and suffer just like humans and should not be subjected to painful experiments. I then begin to wander how research on animals to improve human health should not be undertaken just because it is claimed that these animals have rights and are in many ways equal to humans. It is the contention of this paper to find out the extent to which animal rights and animal equality justifies the fight against animal experimentation.

Full textAbstract:
The radical animal rights movement has been labeled a terrorist movement by federal law enforcement and elected officials, and there have been laws passed making direct action in the name of animal rights a federal offense of domestic terrorism. This dissertation explores the ways in which terrorism has been socially and politically constructed to marginalize the animal rights movement, to the benefit of powerful and well connected interests. I do this by comparing the radical animal rights and extreme anti-abortion movements, especially in the ways each gets labeled by federal law enforcement. The animal rights movement is more likely to be referred to as a terrorist movement, even though the extreme anti-abortion movement has been responsible for the murders and assaults of health clinic workers and doctors. This in spite of the fact that no one has been physically harmed by the animal rights movement. I examine the ways in which the pharmaceutical and bio-medical industries have been able to get laws passed, at both the state and federal levels, criminalizing animal rights activism. I also explore the various ways animal rights activists have faced political repression based on their political beliefs, as well as the response of animal rights activists and civil liberties lawyers to this form of state repression.

Full textAbstract:
The following research explores the growing stability of the relationship between the modern American animal rights and environmental movements in the aftermath of the 1960s counterculture. The movements have traditionally been considered by scholars in their separate contexts, because the movements had a tenuous and inconsistent relationship throughout their early histories. While the separate consideration of the movements may have been more appropriate for research prior to the 1960s, the movements became increasingly intertwined through various influences of the counterculture. The counterculture introduced new philosophies, utilitarianism and deep ecology, to the movements that united them through their mutual distaste for anthropocentrism and industrialization. The counterculture also provided animal rights and environmental advocates with alternative lifestyles with which to promote their goals and affect real change. The movements began to most clearly unite in their mutual campaigns against the intensive animal farming industry, more controversially and widely known as “factory farming.” Both movements utilized the philosophies introduced to their movements to argue against the moral ills of the industry. Hence, they identified a need to actively combat the effects of the meat industry and have since advocated a widespread adoption of the vegetarian lifestyle among the American public.

Full textAbstract:
Animal welfare is a topic subjected to great controversy, mostly within moral philosophy. The moral issue of human behaviour is often dealt with, alongside whether nonhuman animals are eligible certain rights. In our world, how humans behave towards nonhuman animals have fallen into something of political oblivion, which is the departure-point for this research. The essay’s discourse surrounds nonhuman animals’ political and moral status in Sweden, with the aim of drawing conclusions regarding whether they can be said to possess it. This is done through an analysis of ideas, using dimensions as tools, problematizing the Swedish parliamentary parties' views on animal welfare. A better understanding for nonhuman animals’ situation in Sweden has been provided, showing that there is no animal rights mentality tangible, while speciesist and utilitarian attitudes towards nonhuman animals dominate. The analysis show that nonhuman animals in Sweden possess moral status, as the parties agree that nonhuman animals should be spared from unnecessary suffering, and their welfare seems to count in its own right. However, human interests tend to take precedence in most cases, and in the end, nonhuman animals cannot be considered to possess any political status, despite their unmistakable presence in our society.

Full textAbstract:
This work examines the use of nonhuman animals in the farming industry and seeks to understand why this practice takes place and what supports its continuation. The research is approached from a critical realist perspective and after a description of past and current practices in the industry, it uses abduction and retroduction to determine the essential conditions for the continuation of the phenomenon of nonhuman animal farming. One essential condition is found to be the existence of negative discourses relating to nonhuman animals and this aspect is examined in more detail by analyzing a corpus of texts from a farming magazine using Critical Discourse Analysis. Major discourses which were found to be present were those of production, science and slavery which construct the nonhumans respectively as objects of scientific investigation, as production machines and as slaves. A minor discourse of achievement relating to the nonhumans was also present. Further analysis of linguistic features examined the way in which the nonhumans are socially constructed in the discourses. Drawing on work in experimental psychology by Millgram, Zimbardo and Bandura it was found that the effects of these discourses fulfil many of the conditions for bringing about moral disengagement in people thus explaining why billions of people are able to support animal farming in various ways even though what happens in the phenomenon is contrary to their basic ethical and moral beliefs.

Full textAbstract:
Prior to the streetcar lines being electrified in the late 1800s, equines pulled the cars. The quadrupeds that pulled the horsecars in New Orleans, Louisiana, were area specific: New Orleans had mules, not horses. The mule in the South is typically associated with the rural South; however, in nineteenth century urban New Orleans the mule played an integral part in daily commerce and society. New Orleanians admiration for the animals turned into concern when the rigors of work became apparent to the public, as mules suffered from the abuses of drivers, the seedy practices of street railway companies, malnutrition, and exhaustion. As a direct result, the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was established and many New Orleanians took to defending the voiceless laborers. Animal rights, not the drive for more modernity, was the central factor to convince the city to electrify the street railway

Full textAbstract:
This paper used the constant comparative method to examine the 12 animated features released by Disney between 2000 and 2010 for: (1) their representation of nonhuman animals (NHAs) and the portrayal of race, class, gender, and speciesism within this representation, (2) the ways they describe the relationship between humans and NHAs, and (3) whether they promote an animal rights perspective. Three major themes were identified: NHAs as stereotypes, family, and human/NHA dichotomy. Analysis of these themes revealed that Disney’s animated features promote speciesism and celebrate humanity’s superiority by justifying the subordination of NHAs to human agency. Furthermore, while Disney’s representation of NHAs remains largely anthropocentric, most of its animated features do not reflect the tenets of animal rights.

Resumo: Os últimos trinta anos no Brasil foram marcados por uma avicultura intensiva, que alcançou os atuais níveis produtivos através da utilização de tecnologias avançadas, atingido um máximo de desempenho e se transformando em uma atividade altamente produtiva, especializada e industrializada. A aquisição de conhecimentos específicos das áreas de nutrição, genética e manejo, permitiu que índices positivos fossem alcançados, juntamente com os conhecimentos adquiridos relacionados à sanidade e alojamento. Grande parte da produção avícola é destinada à exportação, seja em carcaça ou sob a forma de corte específica, necessitando atender a determinadas demandas internacionais. Muitas dessas demandas estão baseadas em normas e legislações dissociadas da realidade brasileira, requerendo a necessária adaptação. Este trabalho teve como objetivo a seleção de conteúdo para normas de bem-estar animal para produção de frangos de corte, atendendo às condições brasileiras, visando características de exportação, a fim de se encontrar consonâncias com normas internacionais e, sendo assim, padronizar as normas e legislações de alojamento brasileiras. Um questionário, com perguntas sobre bem-estar animal ao consumidor foi enviado ao público consumidor em geral, também incluindo pessoas envolvidas com bem-estar e pesquisadores, de forma a ter-se um retorno de 200 questionários, para se colher informações sobre a questão do bem-estar animal. Os principais manuais de guias práticos europeus e americanos foram estudados e avaliados. O sistema de comparação estabelecido foi baseado em escores (notas), sendo aplicadas notas de 1 a 5 (muito ruim a muito bom) em função da existência de manuais e suas normas para cada país (Brasil e EUA) e/ou bloco econômico (UE), para cada tipo de exigência, relativas ao nível de consciência do aplicador da norma aos problemas enfrentados. Foi aplicada a análise comparativa da média dos escores das normas utilizadas nos manuais. Para a seleção dos itens normativos, foi utilizado o Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) para, a partir de determinados critérios selecionar itens apropriados dessas normas e, finalmente, a partir dos resultados, foram propostas normas adaptadas para as condições brasileiras
Abstract: The last thirty years in Brazil have been known by an intensive poultry industry which has reached the current production levels through the use of advanced technologies, achieving a maximum performance and becoming highly productive, specialized and industrialized. The achievement of know-how in the areas of nutrition, genetics and management enabled positive results that were achieved together with the knowledge related to health and rearing. Moreover, most of the poultry production is exported, either in carcass or in specific cuts, to attend certain international demands. Many of these demands are based on standards and legislation dissociated from the Brazilian reality, and requiring the necessary adaptation. This study aimed to develop standards contents for animal welfare applied in broiler production with regard to the rearing conditions in Brazil, aiming to meet export standards, to find consonance with international standards norms, and, therefore, to standardize the Brazilian rearing rules. A questionnaire was developed with questions related to animal welfare to near two thousand consumers in general, also including those involved with welfare and researchers, in such way to have a return of near 200 questionnaires to gather information about the welfare issue. The good European and American guidelines practices were studied and evaluated. The established system of comparison was based on given scores varying from 1-5 (very bad to very good) as function of norms and guidelines existence for each country (Brazil and EUA) and economic block (EU); for each type of requirement, relative to the consciousness of the writer to the specific problem. The comparative analysis was applied to the scores average of the standards norms used at the guidelines. The study used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the practicality of implementing these standards and, finally, from the results, the normative scenario adapted to Brazilian conditions will be reached

Although animal welfare workers overwhelmingly describe themselves as animal lovers the exigencies of day to day animal welfare work often require that they perform euthanasia of healthy animals as part of welfare shelter management, and animal population control. In this research study, the particular burdens placed upon seven South Animal welfare workers who are required to rescue, care for, nurture and rehabilitate the animals in their care; while simultaneously being required to kill these same – often physically and behaviourally healthy - animals after a specific period of time, or in response to various logistical, procedural and practical intricacies, ranging from lack of space and resources to an unavailability of suitable homes; are explored from an interpretative phenomenological approach using the Interpretative Phenomenological Method (IPA), and from a South African perspective. It was found that animal-loving individuals engaged in the care and subsequent euthanasia of healthy animals report experiencing profound personal, interpersonal and professional and ideological (dis)stress related to guilt, sorrow, moral unease and horror. Four themes emerged from interview data, which are discussed in relation to relevant research and literature. Experiences in a South African context were found to be very much aligned with those reported in previous research and literature pertaining to this topic. In particular, it was found that there is a need to articulate specifically, and precisely the nature of the act. It is proposed that the term “Agapéthanasia” would be appropriate and useful in this field.

Full textAbstract:
A Constituição Federal de 1988 foi de fundamental importância para consagrar ao Poder Público a incubência de evitar que animais sejam submetidos aos maus-tratos ou atos decrueldade, devendo sempre agir para evitar e proibir essa exposição do animal.Trata-se de uma determinação incubida ao Estado, de forma que o mesmo não deve ser omisso, ou seja, deixar de cumprir essa regra constitucional. Todavia, a realidade mostra-se contrária ao preceito legal, principalmente quando se vislumbra a situação vivida pelos animais (equídeos) utilizados nos veículos de tração nas cidades brasileiras. São animais que vivem sendo maltratados e expostos a atos cruéis por parte de seus proprietários, como por exemplo o uso incondicional do chicote, que causa sérias feridas no animal, assim como a falta de cuidados básicos, como a oferta de água e alimentos necessários para manter a nutrição do animal, e, em nenhum momento, há uma atuação do Poder Público para proibir essa situação. Poucas são as cidades brasileiras que buscaram proibir o uso dessa atividade ou regrar de forma a garantir o bem-estar do animal, atendendo assim ao que determina a Constituição vigente, já que a grande maioria dos municípios não buscam nenhuma melhora para essa causa animal. Instala-se a dúvida se não seria a mudança do status jurídico do animal, para a condição de sujeito de direitos, a possível solução no fim da exploração dos animais. Na presente pesquisa será abordado a evolução histórica do pensamento humano sobre o animal, e em especial o animal de tração, os tipos de maus-tratos que essa espécie enfrenta no dia a dia, o tipo de responsabilidade civil que assume o Estado que age de forma omissa com essa situação e a importância do Poder Judiciário, Ministério Público e das Organizações Não-Governamentais na luta contra a exploração do animal de tração além da discussão da possibilidade de mudança da condição jurídica dos animais. Para o trabalho foi utilizado o método hermenêutico e a pesquisa bibliogáfica.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, CAPES
The Federal Constitution of 1988 was of fundamental importance to consecrate to the Public Power the incubation of preventing animals from being subjected to ill-treatment or acts of cruelty, and must always act to avoid and prohibit such exposure of the animal. This is a incubated determination to the State, so that it should not be omitted, that is, fail to comply with this constitutional rule. However, the reality is contrary to the legal precept, especially when we see the situation experienced by the animals (equidae) used in traction vehicles in Brazilian cities. They are animals that live being mistreated and exposed to cruel acts by their owners, such as the unconditional use of the whip, which causes serious injuries to the animal, as well as the lack of basic care, such as the supply of water and food necessary for maintain the animal's nutrition, and, at no time, there is an action of the Public Power to prohibit this situation. There are few Brazilian cities that have sought to prohibit the use of this activity or to regulate in a way that guarantees the welfare of the animal, thus fulfilling the requirements of the current Constitution, since the great majority of municipalities do not seek any improvement for this animal cause. The question arises whether it would not be the change of the legal status of the animal, for the condition of subject of rights, the possible solution at the end of the exploitation of the animals. In the present research the historical evolution of human thought about the animal, and especially the animal of traction, the types of mistreatment that this species faces in the day to day, the type of civil responsibility that assumes the state that acts of and the importance of the Judiciary, Public Ministry and Non- Governmental Organizations in the fight against the exploitation of traction animals, as well as discussing the possibility of changing the legal status of animals. For the work the hermeneutical method and the bibliographic search were used.

Benamių gyvūnų globos ir teisių apsaugos problemos yra aktualios viso pasaulio mastu. Europos Sąjungos erdvėje benamiai gyvūnai vertinami skirtingai, atsižvelgiant į nacionalinius įstatymus, tradicijas, istoriją ir elgesio kultūrą. Benamių gyvūnų reprodukcijos problema yra visuotinai pripažinta, tačiau nėra globali. Visuomenės pasirengimas globoti ir rūpintis benamiais gyvūnais rodo jos sąmoningumo ir atsakingumo lygį.
Šio baigiamojo darbo tikslas - išanalizuoti benamių gyvūnų teisių ir globos problemas, jų atsiradimo priežastis ir sprendimo būdus, remiantis Lietuvos Respublikos gyvūnų gerovės srities ekspertų nuomone bei Europos Sąjungos šalių gerąja patirtimi.
Darbe nagrinėjama užsienio ir Lietuvos mokslinė literatūra, kuri padėjo suformuluoti darbo uždavinius ir įsitikinti darbo temos pasirinkimo pagrįstumu. LR, ES, Jungtynės Karalystės ir Vokietijos Federacijos teisės aktų bei kitų dokumentų analizė padėjo įvertinti benamių gyvūnų globos ir teisių reglamentavimo pakankamumą, palyginti Lietuvos ir kitų Bendrijos šalių praktiką šioje srityje.
Administracinės sistemos ir viešųjų įstaigų veiklos rezultatų analizė, Europos šalių benamių gyvūnų problemų sprendimų praktika, Lietuvos ekspertų nuomonės, leido patvirtinti iškeltą tyrimo hipotezę, kad nepakankamai efektyviai sprendžiamos benamių gyvūnų globos ir teisių apsaugos problemos (o tai leidžia daryti prielaidą, kad šios problemos nėra tiek aktualios, kiek reikalauja dabartinė situacija).

The attitudes of EU members towards homeless animals do differ depending on national policies and legislation, local traditions, history and culture. The problem of homeless animals’ excessive reproduction is recognised at some level but not yet globally. Society is ready to care and protect homeless animals, which shows the level of its consciousness and responsibility. The purpose of this master’s work is to analyze the issues concerning the rights and protection of homeless animals; define the root of the problems and suggest the solutions relying on the expertise of Lithuanian specialists who work for the animal welfare, and incorporating the successful experience of EU countries. The literature of both foreign and Lithuanian authors has been studied in the project in order to help to indicate and set the tasks for this work and to support the validity of choosing the topic. In order to evaluate the efficiency of regulations concerning the welfare and rights of homeless animals, the analysis of legal (and other types) documents of Lithuanian Republic, European Union, United Kingdom and German Federation has been undertaken. The information gathered from observing the activity of the administrative and public structures as well as the experience of problem-solving in the EU and summarizing the views of Lithuanian experts have all supported the hypothesis that the problems of...

This thesis moves beyond the traditional approaches of how we ought to treat animals, and instead concentrates on the best strategy for preventing animal suffering in the farming industry. Chapter 1 considers the question of how we can know that animals feel pain, and concludes not only that it is rational to believe that they can, but also that this is a significant fact. Chapter 2 then analyses one possible strategy for helping to prevent animal suffering, namely demi-vegetarianism. For a number of reasons, however, this strategy is found to be flawed, therefore Chapter 3 analyses a second possible strategy, namely vegetarianism, and concludes that this is, in fact, the best strategy for helping to prevent animal suffering in the farming industry.

La bioética es una disciplina emergente y en auge, que busca responder a las preguntas éticas que el desarrollo de la ciencia y la técnica abren a la sociedad. Una de estas preguntas, el trato que damos a los animales no humanos, está insuficientemente trabajada en este ámbito, prueba de ello es que existe muy escasa literatura en bioética referida al tema. El objetivo de esta tesis es profundizar en la cuestión de nuestra relación con los animales no humanos desde la filosofía moral, para presentar argumentos y propuestas que ayuden a la consolidación de este espacio en la bioética.
Con este fin, primero se contextualiza la bioética y la situación de los animales en dos ámbitos concretos en que la sociedad se beneficia de ellos: la ganadería industrial y la investigación con animales. A continuación se presentan cuatro teorías éticas que acogen la considerabilidad moral de los animales (utilitarismo, deontología, contractualismo e igualitarismo) y se discuten en relación a la ganadería y la experimentación. En el desarrollo de esta investigación, conceptos como sintiencia, especismo, bienestar animal y consentimiento son herramientas claves para el análisis teórico y práctico del tema. Finalmente, del análisis ético-normativo se derivarán nueve conclusiones que buscarán ser un aporte para la ampliación de la bioética hacia una bioética global, que considere a todos los seres sintientes que son afectados por el desarrollo científico y técnico.Bioethics is an emergent discipine that look for answer those ethical questions opened to society by the development of science and technology. One of these questions, the way we treat nonhuman animals, has been insufficiently worked in this field, proof of this is the very few literature on bioethics regarding the topic. The objective of this thesis is to examine the question of our relationship with nonhuman animals from some perspectives on moral philosophy, to present arguments and proposals to help to consolidate this overlooked area on bioethics. With this aim, bioethics is contextualized and the situation of nonhuman animals is presented in two specific ambits in which society benefits from them: factory farming and animal research. Then, four ethical theories which support the moral considerability of nonhuman animals are discussed in relation to livestock and experimentation. In the development of this research, concepts as sentience, speciesism, animal welfare and consent are key for the teorethical and practical analysis of the topic. Finally, the ethical-normative analysis will include nine conclusions as contribution to the expansion of bioethics towards a global bioethics, that considers all living beings that are affected by the scientific and technical development of our world.

Full textAbstract:
Transforming the Brute addresses the ethical acceptability of creating painless animals for usage in biomedical experimentation. In recent decades the possibility of creating genetically decerebrate animals or AMLs for human ends has been discussed in scientific, academic, and corporate communities. While the ability to create animals that cannot feel, experience, and are more plant than animal remains science fiction, biomedicine may now be able to eliminate or significantly reduce the capacity to feel pain and nociception through genetic engineering. With this new technology comes the opportunity to vastly increase the welfare of animals used in biomedical experimentation, yet this possibility has largely been ignored by the scientific and academic community. This work seeks to reveal the moral necessity of creating painless animals for usage in biomedical experimentation for animal welfare ends. Intrinsic objections relating to animal integrity, rights, companionship, the alteration of telos, humility and virtue are considered. The benefit of eliminating nociceptive pain in experimental animals is addressed, and differences are examined between biomedical experimentation and other usage of animals for human ends which makes the proposed creation of painless animals ethically unique. Finally, an argument is presented for the moral necessity of replacing normal animals with painless animals in biomedical experimentation with consideration given to genetically decerebrate animals.

A presente dissertação questiona como garantir a efetividade da legislação internacional e nacional que veda práticas cruéis e maus-tratos às galinhas poedeiras na indústria de ovos. Dessa forma, no primeiro capítulo faço uma abordagem histórica sobre a exploração dos animais não humanos pelos humanos desde o advento da agricultura até os tempos atuais, passando pela domesticação das galinhas e o seu confinamento nas chamadas gaiolas em baterias. Analiso, ainda, os conceitos de crueldade, maus-tratos e bem-estar animal, bem como apresento alguns sistemas alternativos de criação de galinhas poedeiras. No segundo capítulo discorro sobre a proteção jurídica das galinhas poedeiras, tanto do ponto de vista conceitual quanto do ponto de vista legislativo, em âmbitos internacional e nacional. Analiso o movimento animalista, sobretudo nos dias atuais no que se refere à abolição das gaiolas em baterias. No terceiro capítulo apresento a certificação de bem-estar como solução possível ao problema inicialmente apresentado. Para isso, disserto sobre a natureza jurídica das certificações e a sua importância para a garantia do direito de informação do consumidor, discorro sobre os principais selos verdes e de proteção animal existentes no Brasil e analiso pormenorizadamente a certificação de bem-estar animal aplicada às galinhas poedeiras para, ao fim, abordar a questão da consciência do consumidor brasileiro sobre o tema. Concluo defendendo que (i) a certificação de bem-estar seja obrigatória; (ii) sejam utilizados critérios técnicos para aferir o grau de bem-estar e, consequentemente, a ocorrência ou não de maus-tratos, bem como que tais critérios sejam estabelecidos em lei; (iii) sejam estabelecidos por lei os critérios para que o INMETRO acredite uma certificadora; (iv) a fiscalização da certificação seja feita por agência reguladora; (v) seja instituída uma política informativa; e (vi) seja franqueado o acesso da população às granjas. Isso, por um lado, obrigará os produtores a adequarem-se às normas mínimas de bem-estar das galinhas poedeiras, sob pena de serem responsabilizados criminalmente, e, por outro lado, possibilitará que o consumidor faça escolhas conscientes, boicotando os produtores que insistirem em maus-tratos, o que os fará desaparecer, e estimulando os produtores que observarem o bem-estar, que se proliferarão.
The present dissertation questions how to ensure the effectiveness of international and national legislation that prohibits cruel practices and mistreatment of laying hens in the egg industry. Thus, in the first chapter I make a historical approach to the exploitation of nonhuman animals by humans from the advent of agriculture to the present, through the domestication of chickens and their confinement in so-called battery cages. I also analyze the concepts of cruelty, maltreatment and animal welfare, as well as present some alternative systems for laying hens. In the second chapter I discuss the legal protection of laying hens, both conceptually and from a legislative point of view, at international and national levels. I analyze the animalistic movement, especially in the present day regarding the abolition of battery cages. In the third chapter I present the animal welfare certification as a possible solution to the problem initially presented. To do this, I speak about the legal nature of certifications and their importance for guaranteeing the right of information to the consumer, I write about the main green and animal protection stamps in Brazil, analyzing in detail the certification of applied animal welfare to laying hens, in order to address the issue of Brazilian consumer awareness on the subject. I conclude defending that (i) welfare certification must be mandatory; (ii) technical criteria must be used to assess the degree of well-being and, consequently, the occurrence or non-existence of maltreatment, and that such criteria must be established by law; (iii) the criteria for INMETRO to accredit a certifier must be established by law; (iv) certification inspection must be done by a regulatory agency; (v) an information policy must be instituted; and (vi) the access of the population to the farms must be allowed. This, on the one hand, will oblige producers to comply with the minimum standards of welfare of laying hens, otherwise they will be criminally liable, and on the other hand, it will enable the consumer to make conscious choices by boycotting producers who insist in maltreatment, which will make them disappear, and stimulating producers who observe the well-being, which will proliferate.

Resumo: A presente dissertação busca rastrear o contradiscurso acerca da experimentação animal no sentido de elucidá-lo enquanto um movimento social. Toma como foco o trâmite da Lei Arouca, de recente aprovação no Congresso Nacional para regulamentar a vivissecção em todo território nacional. A partir desta lei o olhar se volta aos atores sociais envolvidos e às forças políticas conflitantes para esta questão de controvérsia científica. Paralelamente, outras manifestações práticas do contradiscurso serão seguidas a fim de enriquecer o material de análise para colocar em evidência os argumentos que concorrem para a construção simbólica do estatuto do animal de laboratório. Porém, não será perdido de vista o caráter mais amplo no qual o movimento antivivisseccionista está inserido, a saber, a luta contra a exploração dos animais não-humanos
Abstract: This dissertation intends to follow the counter-discourse on animal experimentation in order to elucidate it as a social movement. It is focused on the processing of Arouca Law, recently passed the Congress to regulate vivisection nationwide. From this law, the focus is on the social actors involved and the political conflicting forces for this matter of scientific controversy. In parallel, other practical manifestations of counter-discourse will be followed in order to enrich the material for analysis to highlight the arguments that contribute to the symbolic status of laboratory animals. However, the broader nature in which the antivivisection movement is inserted, namely the fight against the exploitation of nonhuman animals, will not be lost

Previous issue date: 2016-03-07In the last ten years some writs of habeas corpus have been filed, in Brazil and in other countries, on behalf of great primates. It is a matter of constitutional order and one more instrument utilized for activists for the recognition of the Animal s Rights. This slope, even if generates many controversies, is coming neatly bigger in the past few years, as we can verify throughout the doctrinal and jurisprudential production. The sentience always have been the central element inside the debates evolving the rela-tionship between humans and other animals. Scientific progress that have finding the impressive genetic closeness among us and the great primates, boosted the requests of habeas corpus on behalf of the latter. The grant of the order and, consequently, the admission of rights to the animals generates countless questionings. If the humankind proceeds in the path of the emancipatory trajectory and after receiving all human be-ings in their moral community, could receive , what seems to be the last frontier, the animals, many questionings should be subject of analysis, that already derives from the own grant of the writ to the anthropoids. So, what animals, which rights, what cri-teria to concede them, what judicial instruments must be used to protect them, what is the consequence for humans of the acknowledgment of the Animals Rights and what criteria should be utilized in a conflict of interests between human animals and nonhu-man animals, are some of the largely complex questionings that will be subject of re-flection in the present work
Nos últimos 10 anos vem sendo impetrados, no Brasil e em outros países, habeas corpus em favor de grandes primatas. Trata-se a ação constitucional de mais um ins-trumento utilizado por ativistas para o reconhecimento dos Direitos Animais. Esta ver-tente, ainda que geradora de polêmicas, vem nitidamente crescendo ao longo dos últimos anos, como se verifica através da produção doutrinaria, legislativa e jurispru-dencial. A senciência sempre foi elemento central dentro dos debates envolvendo a relação humanos e demais animais. Os avanços científicos que constataram a im-pressionante proximidade genética entre os nós e os grandes primatas impulsionaram as demandas de habeas corpus em favor deles. A concessão da ordem e a conse-quente admissão de direitos aos animais geram inúmeros questionamentos. Caso a humanidade continue na sua trajetória emancipatória e, depois de acolher todos os seres humanos em sua comunidade moral, acolha, o que parece ser a última fronteira, os animais, várias questões deverão ser objeto de análise, que já derivam da própria concessão do writ aos antropoides. Assim, quais animais, quais direitos, qual critério para concedê-los, quais instrumentos jurídicos para protegê-los, qual a consequência para os humanos do reconhecimento dos Direitos Animais e qual critério a ser utilizado em conflito de interesses entre animais humanos e animais não humanos, são algu-mas das altamente complexas questões que serão objeto de reflexão no presente trabalho

Dans un contexte où la reconnaissance de droits légaux à certaines entités non humaines apparaît comme une évolution juridique de plus en plus plausible, ce mémoire se veut une exploration de la littérature philosophique et juridique en faveur de l’octroi de la personnalité juridique aux animaux. Tout d’abord, nous offrirons un bref tour d’horizon historique de la notion de personne et pourrons constater que si celle-ci a fortement été associée à l’autonomie morale dans l’histoire du droit et de la philosophie, cette définition de la personnalité souffre d’importantes incohérences lorsque vient le temps de justifier l’extension de la personnalité aux êtres humains dépourvus de cette autonomie morale. C’est le cas, par exemple, des enfants, des êtres humains plongés dans le coma, des handicapés mentaux ou encore de certaines personnes âgées. Nous pourrons également constater que le geste qui consiste à octroyer des droits légaux à ces individus tout en refusant de reconnaître ces mêmes droits aux animaux repose sur des bases théoriques fragiles qu’il convient de revoir l’aide d’une analyse approfondie des théories des droits des animaux proposées depuis les années 1970. Ces théories, et plus particulièrement celles proposées par Peter Singer, Tom Regan et Gary Francione, feront l’objet d’un examen qui permettra de faire ressortir leurs forces et faiblesses respectives. Enfin, dans le dernier chapitre de ce mémoire, nous nous pencherons sur le rôle que peuvent jouer les appels aux droits moraux dans l’attribution de droits légaux. Nous y brosserons aussi une esquisse des différentes formes de personnalité juridique et de statut politique que pourraient se voir octroyer les animaux non humains.In a context where the recognition of legal rights to certain nonhuman entities appears to be an increasingly plausible legal development, this master’s thesis proposes an exploration of the philosophical and legal literature in favor of granting legal personhood to animals. First, I will provide a brief historical overview of the notion of “person.” I will also note that, while it has been strongly associated with moral autonomy in the history of law and philosophy, this definition of personhood suffers from substantial inconsistencies in justifying the granting of legal personhood to non-autonomous human beings. It is the case, for instance, of children, comatose human beings, the mentally disabled, and the elderly. We will also see that granting legal rights to these individuals while refusing to recognize these same rights to nonhuman animals is based on fragile theoretical foundations that need to be rectified with a thorough analysis of the theories of animal rights proposed since the 1970s. These theories, specifically the ones put forward by Peter Singer, Tom Regan, and Gary Francione, will be examined to identify their respective strengths and weaknesses. Finally, the final chapter of this research will examine the decisive role that appeals to moral rights can play in granting legal rights to animals. It also outlines the various forms of legal personhood and political status that might be attributed to nonhuman animals.

Under Taiwan''s weak animal care consciousness, it has been very inhuman to deal with stray animals. Although the government has been promoting the idea of animal''s protection repeatedly, there is huge gape between the reality and the practice. Therefore, this article attempts to explore the problem through Singer’s view of liberation of animal right and the Regan’s respect for life. It includes the dialectical debate between philosophers Frey and Cohen, the Regan response, the way Taiwan treats stray dogs and philosophical discussion about it. Hopefully, through examination of the cases, it makes readers comprehend various problems and situations of stray dogs in Taiwan, and puts some forward beneficial suggestions. Since the animal right is decided by person''s moral introspection as well as the practical tutelage, it hopes to arouse people''s morality through education. From the view of law, since The Animal Protection Law is passed, animals still have right of survival even they could not be aware of it and demand it on their own initiative. Through the advocating of legislation of animal rights and the external supervision, it could regulate the public more efficiently. It hopes to arouse the concern of the public on animals’ right and make the public comprehend the gravity of the stray animals’ problem through the relative discussion, which forms the public pressure and then becomes the animals’ policy reform strength. This article makes reference to Regan’s system- " value –theory of main body of life ." Regan emphasizes every life has its own value and should not be injured and deprived of the right of survival. By proposing the concept of animal right, it explores the problems of stray dogs in Taiwan and tries to arouse people''s morality and concern about life, in order to prevent the mistreatment and massacre of animals. Its foundation lies in two parts: one is Regan’s view of animal right; the other is stray dog''s problems; these two parts are connected by moral ethics. Every practical action has its theoretical foundation, so the article consists both of them. The third chapter is based on Regan’s view of animal right; the fourth chapter discusses the solution to Taiwan stray dog''s problems and utilized Regan morality of animal right to the problem. Its purpose is to arouse the public concern’s on animal right, to promote legislation and education animal right, that’s practical action, and to decrease Taiwan stray dog''s death rate.

In the modern civilized human society, animals suffer from all kinds of exploitation and the interests of animals are being ignored by men during entertainment activities. In recent years, it has brought attention to people and more than a few reports have disclosed that animals are captive and trained by inhuman ways for entertaining in the name of educational purposes. This thesis will attempt to use various study methods to canvass the implementation of animal rights and welfare in real life. In the first part, it will sum up and state the historical animal protection awareness and movements, analyze the originating of human rights concept and the procedure of the possibility of applying such concept to animals as well as the rights between people and animals based on Peter Singer’s utilitarianism animal rights and Tom Regan’s strong animal rights. In the second part, we will use actual observations, surveys, interviews to realize the different circumstances between animals kept in the zoo for entertainment and those in the nature. We then will discover the different understandings between the zoo tourists and owners, the different environments in the zoos, and the discrepancy between human rational and behavioural choices. Based on the aforementioned research, it will show the lack of mechanism and education for animal interests by people. Therefore, this thesis suggests to make the relationship between human and animal rights more harmonious and righteous by trying to affect the moral reasoning of people through animal spirits based on two main points: the legal and governmental mechanisms and the community responsibility of the zoo owners.

Full textAbstract:
"Citizen Canine" explores the sacrificial underpinnings of politics via a critique of the boundary between human and animal in Homer, Aeschylus, and Plato. I argue that the concept "animal" serves a functional rather than descriptive role: it is born of a sacrificial worldview that sees violence as a necessary foundation for human life, and which therefore tries to localize and contain this violence as much as possible through a system of sacrifice. I begin the dissertation with Martha Nussbaum's recent work on the "frontiers of justice," but argue that she is insufficiently attentive to the roles that animality and the rhetoric of sacrifice play in her discourse. I then examine the concept of sacrifice more thematically - using Jacques Derrida and Rene Girard among others - which justifies the move back to the Greeks to understand the specific manner in which sacrifice, human, and animal are intertwined at a crucial moment in Western history. In the Greeks we see an inception of this sacrificial concept of the political, and the movement from Homer to Aeschylus to Plato presents us with three successive attempts to understand and control cosmic violence through a sacrificial order. I contend that a similar logic continues to inform the exclusions (native/foreigner, masculine/feminine, human/nature) that mark the borders of the contemporary political community - hence my dissertation is directed both at the specific animal/human dichotomy as well as the larger question of how political identity is generated by the production, sacrifice and exclusion of marginalized communities.

abstract: In the past 100 years pet, zoo/aquarium, and research animals have gained unprecedented legal protection from unnecessary human harm via the creation of strict animal cruelty laws. Due to the work of moral philosophers and compassionate lawyers/judges animal cruelty laws have been improved to provide harsher punishments for violations, had their scopes widened to include more animals and had their language changed to better match our evolving conception of animals as independent living entities rather than as merely things for human use. However, while the group of pet, zoo/aquarium, and research animals has enjoyed more consideration by the US legal system, another group of animals has inexplicably been ignored. The farm animals that humans raise for use as food are exempted from nearly every state and federal animal cruelty law for no justifiable reason. In this paper I will argue that our best moral and legal theories concede that we should take animal suffering seriously, and that no relevant difference exists between the group of animals protected by animal cruelty laws and farm animals. Given the lack of a relevant distinction between these two groups I will conclude that current animal cruelty laws should be amended to include farm animals.Dissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
This thesis expands on the model presented in Sue Donaldson and Will Kymlicka’s Zoopolis for how companion animals might be treated as co-citizens in a post-Animal Rights world. I will attempt to clarify the distinct political obligations owed to companion animals throughout their lifetimes by individual caregivers and by the state. In particular, I argue that there is nothing in the genetic make-up of most companion animals that precludes them from being “autonomous agents” in adulthood, meaning that if allowed to develop their agency, most animals would be able to lead flourishing lives independent of human companions. I suggest that, for young companion animals, guardians have political obligations to develop the autonomous agency of their dependents, with help from the state. That said, for adult animals which develop autonomous agency, I argue that both a human caregiver and the animal have a right to sever their relationship with each other, just as we give adult children the right to leave their parents’ care and also give parents the “right to kick out” adult children who are capable of supporting themselves. However, while advocating for human caregivers’ rights to sever relationships with autonomous pets, I nonetheless maintain that the state will always retain obligations to its citizens to provide them with a basic level of welfare, and these obligations extend to companion animals as well. Thus, the thesis will consider ways that companion animals can flourish without human companionship. Questions I am concerned with are: Can companion animals lead worthwhile lives without human caregivers? What obligations do caregivers and states have to raise animal young? When and how can these obligations be terminated? And lastly, how might we restructure our public and political institutions to accommodate animals who voluntarily or involuntarily leave relationships with caregivers?Thesis (Master, Philosophy) -- Queen's University, 2013-11-15 09:18:40.613

Animals as Laboratory Objects: Analysis of the Power Discourse PhDr. Tereza Vandrovcová Abstract This dissertation thesis encompasses a critical discourse analysis of the power correlates of expert knowledge and other factors that can hinder the open and unbiased discussion concerning the ethical aspects of the use of nonhuman animals in biomedical experiments. A brief history of "the animal" is first provided before the issue is positioned within the theoretical framework of Animal Studies. The fourth chapter is composed of an overview of the most frequent arguments both for and against the use of animals in biomedicine. The author draws upon her research as she analyzes scientific texts to reveal how laboratory animals are socially constructed as scientific objects and subsequently describes the effects this has on the perception of their moral value. A series of semi-structured interviews with critics and advocates of animal experimentation, such as animal rights activists and laboratory workers who conduct experiments on animals, is the pivotal section of the paper. It is established that lab workers in the sample are convinced of the necessity and legitimacy of current practices, that lab workers have a tendency to suppress animals' individuality when describing their work, that lab workers deem their...

Full textAbstract:
In today's society prevails superior attitude to animals that are seen as mere resources, and this work seeks to highlight this issue . The theoretical part shows where this attitude has its roots and then moves into the context of environmental ethics, while trying to show the views that contradict this position. Practical part is looking for arguments and basis of organizations defending the rights of animals and their possible rapprochement with the protection of nature. The chosen method is to analyze the websites of selected organizations defending the rights of animals, focusing on what the organization published on their websitet and what is missing. The main finding is that the central idea of animal rights organizations is the intrinsic value of animals as beings with a right to a dignified life and with the right to satisfy their natural needs. Protection of the nature on the contrary often prefers to the value of each individual animal the value of nature as a whole. Possible rapprochement with the protection of nature can then be found mainly in areas where there is a distortion of values as both protectino of animals and protection of nature. Key words: animal liberation, animal rights, intrinsic value, protection of animals, protection of nature, organizations defending animal rights

Full textAbstract:
The thesis, which deals with the issue of human rights and animal rights, is divided into three basic chapters. The first chapter offers a summary of the historical development of human rights and seeks to highlight the coherence of this development with the current understanding of human rights. The second chapter focuses on the development of our relationship with animals. This chapter describes the historical, philosophical and religious aspects of the relationship. The final chapter focuses on the current arguments for animal rights. Part of this chapter is devoted to the animal rights opponent Tibor Machan, according to whom the animals do not need any rights.
