  • Vegetarianism
    Vegetarianism 1. Animal Cruelty Industrial farming is abusive to animals. Pigs. In America, nine out of ten of pregnant sows live in “gestation crates.” These pens are so small that the pigs can hardly move. When the sows are first crated, they flail around, as if they’re trying to escape from the crate. But soon they give up. The pigs often show signs of depression: they engage in meaningless, repetitive behavior, like chewing the air or biting the bars of the stall. The animals live in these conditions for four months. Gestation crates will be phased out in Europe by the end of 2012, but they will still be used in America.1 In nature, pigs nurse their young for about thirteen weeks. But in industrial farms, piglets are taken from their mothers after a couple of weeks. Because the piglets are weaned prematurely, they have a strong desire to suck and chew. But the farmers don’t want them sucking and chewing on other pigs’ tails. So the farmers routinely snip off (or “dock”) the tails of all their pigs. They do this with a pair of pliers and no anesthetic. However, the whole tail is not removed; a tender stump remains. The point is to render the area sensitive, so the pigs being chewed on will fight back.2 Over 113 million pigs are slaughtered each year in America.3 Typically, these pigs are castrated, their needle teeth are clipped, and one of their ears is notched for identification —all without pain relief.4 In nature, pigs spend up to three quarters of their waking hours foraging and exploring their environment.5 But in the factory farms, “tens of thousands of hogs spend their entire lives ignorant of earth or straw or sunshine, crowded together beneath a metal roof standing on metal slats suspended over a septic tank.”6 Bored, and in constant pain, the pigs must perpetually inhale the fumes of their own waste.

  • International Animal Rights: Speciesism and Exclusionary Human Dignity
    INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL RIGHTS: SPECIESISM AND EXCLUSIONARY HUMAN DIGNITY By Kyle Ash* The primary goal of this paper is to act as a heuristic device, to suggest an unconventional but practicalperspective on the evolution of international law. Upon surveying discourse on the history of international law, texts of treaties, and declarations and writings of influential philosophers of law and morality, an antiquatedperspective of humanity is apparent.A conven- tion in internationallaw, and a reflection of a common idea which feeds the foreboding trend of how humans relate to the planet, treats humanity as distinctively separate from the Earth's biodiversity. Though environmental law is beginning to recognize the necessity of conserving biodiversity, a sub- jugating conceptualization of other species has inhibited the development, application,and legitimacy of the principle of sustainability.The belittling view of other species in relation to ourselves also creates inconsistencies within internationallaw and undermines the integrity and sophisticationof its development. Internationalhuman rights law is especially affected. Table of Contents I. INTRODUCTION ......................................... 195 II. SPECIESISM AND HUMAN REASON ..................... 196 A.

Users are spending more and more time on these platforms, creating an active and passive digital footprint through their interaction. This footprint has high research potential in many research areas because understanding people’s communication on social media is essential in understanding their values, attitudes, experi- ences and behaviors. Researchers found that the use of social networking sites impacts adolescents’ eating behavior. If we define adolescents as individuals between ages 10 and 24 (WHO’s definition), 76% of USA young people at age 18–24 use Instagram, so the Instagram social network analysis is important for understanding young people’s expressions in the context of healthy food. This study aims to identify the main topic associated with healthy food on the Instagram social network via hashtag and community analysis based on 2,045,653 messages created by 427,936 individual users. The results show that users most associate Healthy food with healthy lifestyle, fitness, weight loss Citation: Pilaˇr,L.; Stanislavská, L.K.; and diet.

  • The Impact of Information on Animal Product Consumption
    THE IMPACT OF INFORMATION ON ANIMAL PRODUCT CONSUMPTION BY SEAN R. HENNESSY THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Agricultural and Applied Economics in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Assistant Professor Ben Crost, Chair Assistant Professor Brenna Ellison Professor Alex Winter-Nelson ii Abstract Consumers’ dietary preferences for animal products such as meat, dairy, and eggs carry a profound influence on environmental sustainability, public health, and animal rights. While shifting preferences towards plant products is important to many organizations working across those three fields, there are not many peer-reviewed studies available concerning the most effective methods of doing so. This paper describes an impact evaluation of one campaign method for dietary change – distributing factual leaflets modeled after those used by animal advocacy organizations worldwide – in a campus setting at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. The results could help answer a significant question: in a Midwestern United States school, what is the impact of distributing leaflets that describe the benefits of a plant-based diet on the recipients’ consumption of animal products? Further, the study reflects on a more general question in consumer economics: can a single information treatment significantly impact the composition of food demand? I find there was insufficient evidence that the leaflets impacted animal product consumption; however, the results might not direct organizations away from leafleting as an effective technique for advocacy. Instead I recommend that researchers conduct additional independent studies with improved research methods to be published in academic journals, especially given that it appears a larger sample size is required to detect an impact due to the high rate of sample attrition in email surveys.

From Carnism to Veganism: “once I knew, I didn’t want to have any part in it whatsoever” A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Psychology at Massey University, Albany, Aotearoa New Zealand. Emilie Rita Field 2020 i ii Abstract Widespread and intensive animal agriculture practices generate extreme suffering and have devastating environmental consequences; thus, veganism is a significant and timely social justice movement. On an individual level, becoming and being vegan can have far-reaching emotional and social consequences. This research aims to explore the experiences of the transition to veganism and of being vegan in a hegemonic meat culture. Assuming a Critical Animal Studies standpoint, personal narrative analysis was used to explore the stories of 12 vegans. Apparent was that the transition to veganism consists of various pathways involving a disruption in some form, critical awareness, engagement in moral reflexivity, and ultimately a determination made on the basis of core beliefs. The characteristic of openness and the personal value of justice appear to be critical in facilitating this process. Once vegan, experiences are generally different to participants’ previous expectations of veganism. They report hoping that the sharing of their practice on an individual level can lead to broader social transformation by offering examples of new ways of living and counter-discourses to the norm of carnism.

Barry (2005) states that French explorer Jacques Cartier observed seal hunting in the Strait of Belle Isle in 1534; native populations had been hunting seals in these areas for a significantly longer period (see Wenzel, 1991). During European colonization, the fur trade, including seal pelts, was a significant economic resource for many in the colonies and in Britain and France. The hunting of seals accelerated during the late eigh- teenth century with the creation of vessels capable of taking seal hunters to ice floe breeding areas. This led to seal hunting (or “sealing”) becoming a significant employer in Atlantic Canada, with an estimated 400,000 pelts being produced, but then subsequently declining after the seal population was overexploited (Daoust, et.
