STUDENT NOTE Don’t Let Slip the DoGs of War: An ArGument for ReclassifyinG Military WorkinG DoGs as “Canine Members of the Armed Forces” Michael J. Kranzler ∗ Abstract Dogs have been an integral part of military activities around the world dating back more than two thousand years. They have fended off invasions and helped bring down one of the world’s most notorious terrorist leaders. Yet under current law, they are afforded nearly the same protections as a torn uniform or a jammed rifle, classified in the United States Code as “excess equipment.” Historically, this led to hundreds of dogs being euthanized each year because the United States had no legal obligation to bring this excess equipment home at the end of their deployments.

    Being Nosey by Linda Tynan

    Aside from the most valuable role they serve, as our companions, we are learning that our canine friends have a lot more to offer than we ever realized. The role of the dog has expanded greatly over the years from “wardogs” used by the Greeks and Romans to therapy dogs used to treat PTSD in soldiers returning from war today. Dogs now play many important roles in our society and their value to us becomes more apparent with each new talent we discover. Cave drawings show dogs hunting with men during the stone ages. The Greeks and Romans probably were the first users of dogs in warfare, sending formations of attack dogs with spiked armor into enemy lines. The British used two types of dogs to assist in exterminating the native population of Jamestown in 1610: Bloodhounds to hunt them down and Mastiffs to grab them. In early American history, Bloodhounds continued to serve troops for tracking. In Europe during World War I, an estimated 50,000 dogs were trained as sentries, scouts, ammunition carriers, messengers and casualty dogs. By World War II, the Germans had trained nearly 200,000 war dogs. The attack on Pearl Harbor triggered the use of dogs in the United States Air Force as sentry dogs in both Europe and the Pacific, and their service in the military continues today. Dogs have not only proven to be valuable in military service, but their ability to assist us has proven to be priceless in a growing number of specialty areas. BEING Nosey By Linda Tynan Dogs have been man’s companion for thousands of years, assisting with herding, hunting and providing protection for their human friends.

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.

  • Traces of the Slave Patrol: Notes on Breed- Specific Legislation

    Traces of the Slave Patrol: Notes on Breed- Specific Legislation

    SAUCIER, 10 DREXEL L. REV. 673.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 6/4/18 8:58 PM TRACES OF THE SLAVE PATROL: NOTES ON BREED- SPECIFIC LEGISLATION P. Khalil Saucier* ABSTRACT This Article explores the ways in which antiblackness haunts na- tionwide breed-specific legislation of today. Dogs have long featured as a constitutive element in the antiblack dynamics of police power. Central to slave patrols of the past, dogs remain essential to current law enforcement practices. The blackening of breed-specific legislation in legal and political discourse is a critical, subtle, and sophisticated way in which white Americana enacts its humanity and continues to regulate blackness. In bringing together historical and legal material, this Article explores how breed-specific legislation intervenes to define the boundaries of blackness. In other words, this Article investigates how breed-specific legislation helps make blackness legible and famil- iar in an era defined by shifts in racial identity. Ultimately, this Arti- cle is concerned with how racial slavery lives on in modern times and how breed-specific legislation is part of a long unbroken sequence of antiblack violence, punishment, and surveillance. “Antiblackness, whose name is legion, eagerly dis- guises but never fully discloses its diabolical nature under numerous pseudonyms: slavery, segregation, prejudice, discrimination, and racism.”1 “Law is sublimated slavery.”2 * P. Khalil Saucier teaches Africana Studies at Bucknell University. His research and writing is attentive to the contradictions of current theorizing and thinking about racial oppression, prin- cipally as it relates to the broader African Diaspora experience, and movements of black re- sistance. 1.
  • Accidents and Response: Sudden Violent Death in the Early Modern City, 1650–1750

    Accidents and Response: Sudden Violent Death in the Early Modern City, 1650–1750

    Accidents and response: sudden violent death in the early modern city, 1650–1750 Craig G. Spence Royal Holloway College University of London PhD 2013 DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I Craig G. Spence hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. SIGNED : ___ Craig Spence ____ DATE :_____31 SEPTEMBER 2013_________ 2 ABSTRACT Between 1654 and 1735 as many as 15,529 Londoners suffered sudden violent deaths. This figure includes 3,135 who were murdered or committed suicide, however the majority of the fatalities (12,394) resulted from unexplained violent deaths or accidents. Accidents were therefore a regular feature of urban life during the early modern period. This study reviews the occurrence and circumstances of accidental death as recorded in the weekly London Bills of Mortality , parish burial registers and other related documents. It is clear that the most frequently occurring form of accidental death during this period was drowning, followed closely by fatal falls and incidents involving animals and vehicles. A wide range of other violent agencies resulted in sudden death, though in lesser numbers, including stabbing and shooting, fires and explosions, scalding and suffocation. Such fatalities were considered by contemporaries as disorderly deaths and as such a variety of actions were taken to counteract the disturbing effect such events might have. The formal mechanism of the coroner’s inquest, supported by London’s ‘searchers’, was paramount in explaining the how of such deaths whilst religious and intellectual endeavours were occasionally directed at the why .
