What I will try to show is that arguments that might be used in defense of the claim that all human beings have this natural right, to an equal extent, would also show that animals are possessors of it, whereas arguments that might be used to show that animals do not have this right would also show that not all human beings do either. Just as in the preceding section, however, so here too, a disclaimer to completeness is in order. I have not been able to consider all the arguments that might be advanced in this context, all that I have been able to do is consider what I think are the most important ones. Keywords: Moral rights, animals – Right to life 1 From “The Moral Basis of Vegetarianism”, The Canadian Journal of Philosophy, October, 1975.

O que eu tentarei demonstrar é que os argumentos que podem ser usados na defesa da alegação de que todos os seres humanos têm esse direito natural em igual extensão, servirão para demonstrar que os animais também o detêm, enquanto que os argumentos que podem ser usados para demonstrar que os animais não têm esse direito também servirão para mostrar que nem todos os seres humanos o têm. Neste artigo, a negação da integralidade está em pauta. Por não ser possível examinar todos os argumentos que poderiam ser desenvolvidos neste contexto, preferi considerar aqueles que acredito serem os mais importantes. Palavras-chave: Direitos morais – Animais - Direito à vida. Let us begin, then, with the idea that all humans possess an equal natural right to life. And let us notice, once again, that it is an equal natural right that we are speaking of, one that we cannot acquire on have granted to us, and one that we all are supposed to have just because we are human beings. On what basis, then, might it be alleged that all and only humans possess this right to an equal extent? Well, a number of familiar possibilities come immediately to mind. It might be argued that all and only human beings have an equal right to life because either (a) all and only human beings have the capacity to reason, or (b) all and only human beings have the capacity to make free choices, or (c) all and only human beings have a concept of “self”, or (d) all and only human beings have all or some combination of the previously mentioned capacities. And it is easy to imagine how someone might argue that, since animals do not have any of these capacities, they do not possess a right to life, least of all one that is equal to the one possessed by humans. I have already touched upon some of the difficulties such views

  • Hans Ruesch, the Swiss Racing Driver, Best-Selling Author and Pioneer Of
    Hans Ruesch, the Swiss racing driver, best-selling author and pioneer of the antivivisection movement, born on May 17, 1913, died on August 26, 2007, at the age of 94 of cancer in Lugano. He was the last surviving grand prix winner of the interwar "golden age" of motor racing. Two of his novels were made into Hollywood films, and his subsequent publications helped give impetus to the international antivivisection movement. Hans Ruesch in 1967 The son of a German-speaking Swiss father and an Italian-speaking Swiss mother, Ruesch spent the first 13 years of his life in Naples, where his father owned a textile mill. Schooled in Switzerland, he studied law briefly at the University of Zurich before leaving at the age of 19 to pursue his interest in fast cars. His first competitive drive was in 1932 in an MG, but before long he could be seen at the wheel of more potent machines from Alfa Romeo and Maserati. Third place in an Alfa in the 1500cc category at the 1932 Brno grand prix at the Masaryk-Ring in Czechoslovakia was followed by victories in various hill climbs in the Swiss Alps. In his second year, he acquired a three-litre Maserati, with which he picked up further hill climb trophies and set a new world speed record for the standing-start kilometer, averaging 88.33 mph at the Montlhery autodrome outside Paris. Ice racing on frozen lakes was a popular sport at the time, and in 1934 Ruesch and his Maserati 8CM won events on the Titisee and the Eibsee in Germany.

  • A Writer's Calendar
    A WRITER’S CALENDAR Compiled by J. L. Herrera for my mother and with special thanks to Rose Brown, Peter Jones, Eve Masterman, Yvonne Stadler, Marie-France Sagot, Jo Cauffman, Tom Errey and Gianni Ferrara INTRODUCTION I began the original calendar simply as a present for my mother, thinking it would be an easy matter to fill up 365 spaces. Instead it turned into an ongoing habit. Every time I did some tidying up out would flutter more grubby little notes to myself, written on the backs of envelopes, bank withdrawal forms, anything, and containing yet more names and dates. It seemed, then, a small step from filling in blank squares to letting myself run wild with the myriad little interesting snippets picked up in my hunting and adding the occasional opinion or memory. The beginning and the end were obvious enough. The trouble was the middle; the book was like a concertina — infinitely expandable. And I found, so much fun had the exercise become, that I was reluctant to say to myself, no more. Understandably, I’ve been dependent on other people’s memories and record- keeping and have learnt that even the weightiest of tomes do not always agree on such basic ‘facts’ as people’s birthdays. So my apologies for the discrepancies which may have crept in. In the meantime — Many Happy Returns! Jennie Herrera 1995 2 A Writer’s Calendar January 1st: Ouida J. D. Salinger Maria Edgeworth E. M.

Nesse contexto, o artigo tem o objetivo de lançar uma proposta de princípios jurídicos, exclusivos e não-exclusivos (compartilhados com outros ramos jurídicos), para o Direito Animal, extraídos do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, sobretudo do estrato constitucional, com o auxílio da teoria dos princípios de Humberto Ávila. Para tanto, enfrenta duas questões epistemológicas preliminares: a fixação da denominação e do conceito da disciplina jurídica estudada, que permitam bem identificar o objeto desse novo campo da enciclopédia jurídica. Direito Animal é a denominação proposta para fins de uniformização terminológica. O conceito para a disciplina leva em consideração o reconhecimento da sua autonomia em relação ao Direito Ambiental. Nesse particular, procede-se à desconstrução analítica do conceito proposto, para permitir a análise de seus elementos essenciais. Conforme se propõe, os princípios exclusivos ou típicos do Direito Animal são os seguintes: 1) princípio da dignidade animal; 2) princípio da universalidade; 3) princípio da primazia da liberdade natural e 4) princípio da educação animalista. Por sua vez, os princípios não-exclusivos ou compartilhados do Direito Animal têm uma listagem mais aberta, podendo ser indicados, ao menos, os seguintes: 1) princípio da precaução; 2) princípio da democracia participativa; 3) princípio do acesso à justiça e 4) princípio da proibição do retrocesso.

  • HIV Twenty-Eight Years Later: What Is the Truth? Gary Null, Phd December 3, 2012
    HIV Twenty-Eight Years Later: What is the Truth? Gary Null, PhD December 3, 2012 In the May 4, 1984 issue of the prestigious journal Science, one of the most important research papers of the last quarter century was published. “Frequent Detection and Isolation of Cytopathic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patients with AIDS and at Risk for AIDS” would rapidly become the medical Magna Carta for the entire gold rush to develop diagnostic methods to identify the presence of HIV in human blood and to invent pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines in a global war against AIDS. This paper, along with three others published in the same issue of Science, was written by Dr. Robert Gallo, then head of the Laboratory of Tumor Cell Biology (LTCB) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Bethesda, Maryland, and his lead researcher Dr. Mikulas Popovic. To this day, this article continues to document the most cited research to prove the HIV hypothesis in scientific papers and places like the nation’s Centers of Disease Control (CDC) website. For virologists, molecular biologists and other infectious disease researchers, particularly those tied to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and the national medical and health institutions, the news of Gallo’s discovery was manna rained down from heaven. All research into other possible causes for the AIDS crisis ended abruptly. As soon as the winds shifted away from earlier efforts to find the cause of AIDS —people’s lifestyles, immune suppressing illicit drug use and other health risks and illnesses that adversely affect the body’s immune system — to that of a single new virus, the case was closed.

  • Roots of Human Resistance to Animal Rights: Psychological and Conceptual Blocks
    \\Server03\productn\L\LCA\8-1\LCA105.txt unknown Seq: 1 14-MAY-02 15:16 ROOTS OF HUMAN RESISTANCE TO ANIMAL RIGHTS: PSYCHOLOGICAL AND CONCEPTUAL BLOCKS By Steven J. Bartlett* Animal law has focused attention on such interconnected issues as the prop- erty status of nonhuman animals, juristic personhood, and standing. These subjects are undeniably central concerns that dominate discussions of animal rights, but they do not relate to the most fundamental factors that are responsible both for human resistance to animal rights and for our spe- cies' well-entrenched, cruel, and self-righteous exploitation and destruction of nonhuman animals. In this comment, the author reviews recent advocacy of animal rights and offers the first study of human psychological and con- ceptual blocks that stand in the way of efforts on behalf of animal law and legislation. Paying long overdue attention to these obstacles provides a real- istic framework for evaluating the effectiveness of attempts to initiate mean- ingful change. I am in favour of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being. ÐAbraham Lincoln I. INTRODUCTION: ANIMALS AS PROPERTYÐIS THIS THE PROBLEM? Animals are property. These three wordsÐand their legal implications and practical ramificationsÐdefine the most significant doctrines and cases . and the realities for current practitioners of animal law.1 For many people in our society, the concept of legal rights for other animals is quite ªunthinkable.º That is because our relationship with the * Senior Research Professor of Philosophy, Oregon State University; Visiting Scholar in Psychology & Philosophy, Willamette University; Previously Professor of Philosophy, St.

    CHRISTIANS AGAINST ALL AMIMAL ABUSE FOR AUTUMN & WINTER: 2007 e.mail: [email protected] Tel: 01352-712368 website: www.animalpadre.org ‘Precious in the sight of The lord is the death of his saints’. Such is a quotation from the psalms, and I’m sure that it’s not confined to those marble faced type canonised by past pontiffs. Yes, and thankfully, during the century that has just gone, many of these ‘saints’ were thrown out after centuries of veneration All part of the reforming work of good ‘John the 23rd’! Not the result of senility as some quite uncharitably supposed, but rather because of his desire to bring about a reformation within, which went well past any medieval council of Trent. Some of the saints I, myself, have in mind were those within the cause of animal liberation; and some of them were, indeed, far removed from one’s traditional profession of faith. I think of Jill Phipps and of Barrie Horne. I’d offered to conduct the funeral of the former, before Coventry cathedral’s provost intervened with his rigid conditions; and I’d made a one-man protest outside the York hospital of the latter! However, the general opinion of animal rights activists towards Christian clergy hardly endeared them towards my own feeble efforts for their cause. After all, these two comparatively young folk would, literally, lay down their lives for the animals; reminiscent of far off ‘good shepherds’ prepared to lay down their lives for sheep and used by Christ as His supreme analogy Indeed, let us not forget also the sacrifice of her life - for the animals - of Vicki Moore! Tossed repeatedly by a frenzied bull after the latter had been repeatedly stabbed and goaded, Vicki – momentarily carried away – had jumped over in to the ring to acquire close ups of the barbarity taking place.
