“Biomedical Scientists' Recognition and Alleviation of Pain And
“Biomedical scientists’ recognition and alleviation of pain and distress in laboratory rats and mice” Valerie Parkison, BS Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine Center for Animals and Public Policy Allen Rutberg, PhD Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine Center for Animals and Public Policy Jan E. Dizard, PhD Amherst College Department of Anthropology and Sociology Overview Scientific research on animals is a well-publicized ethical debate in our society. In part because of increasing attention to this issue, national legislation regarding laboratory animal welfare was created in 1966 with the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) and has been strengthened in the recent decades with its subsequent amendments, particularly the 1985 Improved Standards for Laboratory Animals. A separate law, the Health Research Extension Act, was also passed in 1985. However, research has shown that these regulations are not implemented uniformly throughout individual laboratories and institutions. Therefore, laboratory animals are not always adequately or equally protected among institutions. This variation is mainly due to the subjective nature of what constitutes proper laboratory animal use. For example, both of the above-mentioned laws require scientists’ to recognize and minimize “pain and distress” in their research animals, but does not provide definitions of these states or directions for minimization. Therefore, because each research institution is left to its own interpretation of the regulations, the laws are difficult to enforce in a standardized manner. If the regulations are to work as intended on a broad scale, the intricacies of applying these welfare regulations must be understood by and represented from the viewpoint of those directly involved – the scientists. -
Necessary Or Cruel? Brainstorming a Topic to Write
Enger 1 Marie Enger Andrea Barnes WR 121-024 12 November 2010 Animal Testing: Necessary or Cruel? Brainstorming a topic to write about proved to be quite a challenge. Following the advice of my professor, I attempted to locate a subject of deep interest to me, a subject I could explore, discover, and learn from. As a Zoology major with a Pre-Veterinary option, I thought about what subjects would be handy to know in the future. After a short time scrolling through Google, I carne across the topic of animal testing. One would assume that a young lady with such a passion for animals would have an opinion on such a subject. Surprisingly, I held no such opinion; in fact, upon further examination I realized that I held absolutely no knowledge about animal research whatsoever. I realized that my knowledge of animal testing was limited to the overly opinionated comments of animal research antagonists. These animal rights activists accuse scientists who experiment on animals of being merciless and immoral. I began to wonder why I had only heard about the negative consequences of animal testing. It must be doing something good for the human race if it continues despite constant opposition from animal rights groups and the public. As I join the discussion about animal testing I hope to discover whether or not it should be a means to further medical and scientific progress. The first step to my self-education in the field of animal research was to find a source that could clearly layout all sides of the matter. -

We still have Valour. So pray tell me then: Why should Women not write as well as men?” --Aphra Behn Women have had a hand in shaping history, through their roles as activists, educators, laborers, scientists, artists, and intellectuals. The writing they leave behind is a physical and lasting manifestation of their ideas. It teaches us about the diversity of their experiences and desires; and it guides us in building and improving upon their work. By Her Own Hand is a celebration of manuscript and print materials by women. The rare documents gathered here speak to women’s complex identities, and to how women infuse themselves into their efforts to improve the world.

BEYOND RIGHTS AND WELFARE: DEMOCRACY, DIALOGUE, AND THE ANIMAL WELFARE ACT Jessica Eisen* ABSTRACT The primary frameworks through which scholars have conceptualized legal pro- tections for animals—animal “rights” and animal “welfare”—do not account for socio-legal transformation or democratic dialogue as central dynamics of animal law. The animal “rights” approach focuses on the need for limits or boundaries preventing animal use, while the animal “welfare” approach advocates balancing harm to animals against human benefits from animal use. Both approaches rely on abstract accounts of the characteristics animals are thought to share with humans and the legal protections they are owed as a result of those traits. -
Between the Species
1 BETWEEN THE SPECIES Reflections on Tom Regan and the Animal Rights Movement That Once Was Gary L. Francione Board of Governors Distinguished Professor of Law and Nicholas deB. Katzenbach Scholar of Law and Philosophy Rutgers University School of Law New Jersey, U.S.A. Honorary Professor (Philosophy) School of Politics, Philosophy, and Language and Communication Studies University of East Anglia Norwich, U.K. Volume 21, Issue 1 Spring 2018 http://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/bts/ 2 Gary L. Francione The Beginning of a Real Rights Movement Let me set the scene: On July 15, 1985, a group of approxi- mately 100 animal rights activists, one of whom is Tom Regan, have taken over a building at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland. They are protesting head-injury experiments that are being conducted on baboons at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania (Penn) Medical School. The protesters have announced that they will occupy the building unless and until the government agrees to at least suspend funding for the lab pending a full investigation. The government is threatening to arrest the protesters if they do not leave. As a large group of exhausted, unwashed, and nervous pro- testors crowded around him in rapt attention in a large but cramped NIH office, fearing their apparently inevitable arrest, Tom calmed and refocused them by recounting the history of nonviolent protest in various social movements and by reas- suring them about how such protest had been crucial to those struggles. Tom was a terrific storyteller, and his tales and his knowledge of social justice movements engaged and energized this group day after day for almost four days straight, helping the protestors regain their courage and understand how what they were doing was important, both as a matter of our opposi- tion to the experiments we were protesting and as part of our greater goal to achieve justice for nonhuman animals. -

Montebello M526 Trujillo Alto PR00976 USA. ********** Editor’s Note In this newsletter, our first article from Will Frank dives headlong into the deep oceans of the religious thoughts of James Martineau in England and William Ellery Channery in New England. Theirs were thoughts which influenced each other and together influenced, indeed, revolutionised religious thinking throughout the nineteenth century and far more widely than the Unitarianism to which both men subscribed. Theirs were thoughts which continue to echo against religious walls well beyond a century later. Speakers at the Society‟s very successful 2010 conference at Ambleside contribute our further articles. We look at Harriet Martineau‟s contribution to what became known as the „Women‟s Movement‟. -

Fletcher In 1840, Belgian-born Ernest Gambart arrived in London as an agent of the French print publisher Goupil, and quickly struck out on his own as a print publisher and seller.[1] He soon began purchasing paintings and mounting occasional art exhibitions, and by the mid-1850s he had established the French Gallery at 120/121 Pall Mall as a full-time space devoted to the exhibition and sale of contemporary art.[2] The Gallery was one of the first and most successful commercial galleries of contemporary art in London, and its emergence paralleled a larger transformation of the art market.
