    THE PALGRAVE MACMILLAN ANIMAL ETHICS SERIES Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics Kenneth R. Valpey The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series Series Editors Andrew Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK Priscilla N. Cohn Pennsylvania State University Villanova, PA, USA Associate Editor Clair Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the ethics of our treatment of animals. Philosophers have led the way, and now a range of other scholars have followed from historians to social scientists. From being a marginal issue, animals have become an emerging issue in ethics and in multidisciplinary inquiry. Tis series will explore the challenges that Animal Ethics poses, both conceptually and practically, to traditional understandings of human-animal relations. Specifcally, the Series will: • provide a range of key introductory and advanced texts that map out ethical positions on animals • publish pioneering work written by new, as well as accomplished, scholars; • produce texts from a variety of disciplines that are multidisciplinary in character or have multidisciplinary relevance.

  • Meat and Morality: Alternatives to Factory Farming
    J Agric Environ Ethics (2010) 23:455–468 DOI 10.1007/s10806-009-9226-x Meat and Morality: Alternatives to Factory Farming Evelyn B. Pluhar Accepted: 30 November 2009 / Published online: 18 December 2009 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009 Abstract Scientists have shown that the practice of factory farming is an increasingly urgent danger to human health, the environment, and nonhuman animal welfare. For all these reasons, moral agents must consider alternatives. Vegetarian food production, humane food animal farming, and in-vitro meat production are all explored from a variety of ethical perspectives, especially utilitarian and rights- based viewpoints, all in the light of current U.S. and European initiatives in the public and private sectors. It is concluded that vegetarianism and potentially in-vitro meat production are the best-justified options. Keywords Factory farming Á Humane farming Á In-vitro meat production Á Rights theory Á Utilitarianism Á Vegetarianism factory farming (FAK-tuh-ree FAHR-ming) noun: an industrialized system of producing meat, eggs, and milk in large-scale facilities where the animal is treated as a machine (Wordsmith 2008) After several years of receiving ‘‘A Word for the Day’’ from a dictionary service, the author was interested to see the above definition pop up in the email inbox. The timing was perhaps not coincidental. In spring 2008, the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production completed a two-year investigation of factory- farming practices in the United States. At the end of its 1,100-page report, the Commission recommended a ten-year timeline for the termination of the most intensive production techniques, including battery cages, gestation crates, and force- feeding birds to harvest their fatty livers for foie gras (Hunger Notes 2008).

    His Excellency Samdech Techo Hun Sen Prime Minister of Cambodia Office of the Prime Minister Royal Government of Cambodia Government Peace Building No. 38, Confederation Russia Blvd (110) Phnom Penh Cambodia [email protected] May 22, 2020 Re: The Threat of the Dog Meat Trade to Cambodia Dear Prime Minister Hun Sen, We are writing on behalf of the Asia for Animals Coalition, representing international animal welfare and conservation organizations regarding our concerns about the dog meat trade in Cambodia and its threat to public health, in light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the worsening situation of the pandemic globally and throughout Southeast Asia, with 45,2091 ​ human coronavirus infections in the region to date, the mass trafficking, sale, and slaughter of ​ companion animals often alongside wild animals throughout the Kingdom continues unchallenged. The dog meat trade is rampant in Cambodia, involving the slaughter and consumption of up to 3 million dogs each year, many of them stolen pets, with an unknown number trafficked regularly into neighboring Vietnam. Research suggests that only 12% of Cambodians regularly consume dog meat, and consumption remains a controversial practice among Khmer people.2 The dog meat trade has proven to be a significant threat to public health, facilitating the transmission of deadly diseases including rabies, cholera, and trichinella. The trade also directly undermines Cambodia’s rabies control efforts and disrupts any attempts at achieving herd immunity through mass canine vaccination programs. Despite growing global public health concerns regarding live animal interfaces and wet markets and the potential for the emergence of novel and deadly viruses, the dog meat trade in Cambodia continues to operate - even in the face of mounting calls to end this trade.

    PJAEE, 17 (6) (2020) CRUELTY ON ANIMALS AND RELATED RIGHTS Maithili Chaudhury1, Nilanjan Chakraborty2 1,2 Asst. Professer, Faculty of Legal Studies, Siksha O Anusandhan Email: [email protected], [email protected] Maithili Chaudhury, Nilanjan Chakraborty: Cruelty On Animals And Related Rights -- Palarch’s Journal Of Archaeology Of Egypt/Egyptology 17(6). ISSN 1567-214x Keywords: Animal Rights, Animal Husbandry, Anti-cruelty ethic, Social Ethic ABSTRACT Businesses and occupations must remain consistent with social ethics or risk losing their freedom. An important social ethical issue that has arisen over the past four decades is animal welfare in various areas of human use. The ethical interest of the society has outgrown the conventional morality of animal cruelty, which originated in biblical times and is embodied in the laws of all civilized societies. There are five major reasons, most notably the substitution of husbandry-based agriculture with industrial agriculture, for this new social concern. This loss of husbandry to industry has threatened the traditional fair contract between humans and animals, leading to significant animal suffering on four different fronts. Because such suffering is not caused by cruelty, it was necessary to express social concerns with a new ethic for animals. Since ethics is based on pre-existing ethics rather than ex nihilo, society has looked for its properly modified ethics for humans to find moral categories that apply to animals. This concept of legally encoded rights for animals has emerged as a plausible vehicle for reform. The paper provides brief summary of the animal welfare board of India, legal capacity in order to possess rights and tries to establish relation between legal personhood and rights.

  • MAC1 Abstracts – Oral Presentations
    Oral Presentation Abstracts OP001 Rights, Interests and Moral Standing: a critical examination of dialogue between Regan and Frey. Rebekah Humphreys Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom This paper aims to assess R. G. Frey’s analysis of Leonard Nelson’s argument (that links interests to rights). Frey argues that claims that animals have rights or interests have not been established. Frey’s contentions that animals have not been shown to have rights nor interests will be discussed in turn, but the main focus will be on Frey’s claim that animals have not been shown to have interests. One way Frey analyses this latter claim is by considering H. J. McCloskey’s denial of the claim and Tom Regan’s criticism of this denial. While Frey’s position on animal interests does not depend on McCloskey’s views, he believes that a consideration of McCloskey’s views will reveal that Nelson’s argument (linking interests to rights) has not been established as sound. My discussion (of Frey’s scrutiny of Nelson’s argument) will centre only on the dialogue between Regan and Frey in respect of McCloskey’s argument. OP002 Can Special Relations Ground the Privileged Moral Status of Humans Over Animals? Robert Jones California State University, Chico, United States Much contemporary philosophical work regarding the moral considerability of nonhuman animals involves the search for some set of characteristics or properties that nonhuman animals possess sufficient for their robust membership in the sphere of things morally considerable. The most common strategy has been to identify some set of properties intrinsic to the animals themselves.

  • Prinsjesdagpeiling 2017
    Rapport PRINSJESDAGPEILING 2017 Forum voor Democratie wint terrein, PVV zakt iets terug 14 september 2017 www.ioresearch.nl I&O Research Prinsjesdagpeiling september 2017 Forum voor Democratie wint terrein, PVV zakt iets terug Als er vandaag verkiezingen voor de Tweede Kamer zouden worden gehouden, is de VVD opnieuw de grootste partij met 30 zetels. Opvallend is de verschuiving aan de rechterflank. De PVV verliest drie zetels ten opzichte van de peiling in juni en is daarmee terug op haar huidige zetelaantal (20). Forum voor Democratie stijgt, na de verdubbeling in juni, door tot 9 zetels nu. Verder zijn er geen opvallende verschuivingen in vergelijking met drie maanden geleden. Zes op de tien Nederlanders voor ruimere bevoegdheden inlichtingendiensten Begin september werd bekend dat een raadgevend referendum over de ‘aftapwet’ een stap dichterbij is gekomen. Met deze wet krijgen Nederlandse inlichtingendiensten meer mogelijkheden om gegevens van internet te verzamelen, bijvoorbeeld om terroristen op te sporen. Tegenstanders vrezen dat ook gegevens van onschuldige burgers worden verzameld en bewaard. Hoewel het dus nog niet zeker is of het referendum doorgaat, heeft I&O Research gepeild wat Nederlanders nu zouden stemmen. Van de kiezers die (waarschijnlijk) gaan stemmen, zijn zes op de tien vóór ruimere bevoegdheden van de inlichtingendiensten. Een kwart staat hier negatief tegenover. Een op de zes kiezers weet het nog niet. 65-plussers zijn het vaakst voorstander (71 procent), terwijl jongeren tot 34 jaar duidelijk verdeeld zijn. Kiezers van VVD, PVV en de christelijke partijen CU, SGP en CDA zijn in ruime meerderheid voorstander van de nieuwe wet. Degenen die bij de verkiezingen in maart op GroenLinks en Forum voor Democratie stemden, zijn per saldo tegen.

  • The Unconstitutionality of the Marital Rape Exemption in India
    The Unconstitutionality of the Marital Rape Exemption in India Agnidipto Tarafder and Adrija Ghosh* Abstract Defined as ‘non-consensual intercourse with one’s own spouse’, marital rape remains the third rail for most politicians, not only in India but across the world. While the data generated by the government suggests that marital rape in India is very much a reality, legislators are hesitant to remove the exemption due to the perceived unpopularity of such a measure among conservative sections of society and the consequent backlash from the electorate. This article engages with the myriad legal and social hindrances to the removal of the Marital Rape Exemption (MRE) from the Indian Penal Code. We argue that the continuance of the marital rape exemption is a violation of fundamental rights and is therefore, unconstitutional. The recent judgement by the Supreme Court of India in Puttaswamy (I), read along with its decisions in National Legal Services Authority, Navtej Johar and Joseph Shine, provides the bases for challenging the MRE on firmer footing. Elaborating the problems of basing gender justice claims on the ‘privacy strategy’, we conclude that while the Court must certainly strike down the exemption, this must be coupled with attitudinal changes, as noted by the Verma Committee recommendations, without which the efficacy of such a judicial dictum will remain suspect. Keywords: Marital Rape; Right to Life; Privacy; Equality; Forced Labour. *Agnidipto Tarafder is an Assistant Professor at the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata. Adrija Ghosh is in the 4th year LLB student at the same institution. The authors would like to thank Shameek Sen, Ruchira Goswami, Darshana Mitra, Saurabh Bhattacharjee, Faisal Fasih and Carmel Sharma for their comments and suggestions, as well as the editors of the special issue, Shreya Atrey and Gautam Bhatia for their continued engagement and suggestions with earlier drafts.
