  • Bioethical Questions of Animals in Sport1
    Preliminary communication UDK: 17:798/799 636.046:17 Bruno Ćurko (Croatia) Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Split [email protected] BIOETHICAL QUESTIONS OF ANIMALS IN SPORT1 Abstract Animals are a part of sport industries, from the so-called traditions such as fox hunting and bullfighting, horse and dog racing, to the cruel examples of hare coursing, rodeo, and orangutan boxing (Thailand), to cock and dog fights. These are prominent examples of animal exploitation serving our human entertainment. In my presentation, I will try to identify some of the essential questions considering animal use in sports. Some of these questions are: Can we justify animal exploitation in the name of tradition? Can we take into consideration the well-being of sport animals before, during, and after their competitive career? How much could and should the imminent risk of animal stress, injuries, and fatalities prevent us from their exploitation in sports? If animals are ready to obey demands we set upon them, should we abuse them for our entertainment and sport? Keywords: animals, sports industry, cultural tradition, bioethics, entertainment 1 This paper is an elaborated adaptation of a lecture titled “Bioethical Questions of Animals in Sport”, presented at the conference “3rd Osijek days of bioethics” - Faculty of Education, J. J. Strossmayer University of Osijek, 11–12 November 2019. Pannoniana, vol. IV, no. I (2020): 143-153 Introduction When we think about animals in sport, we usually think about activities where people use animals in some competitions such as horse races, dog races, and other similar ones. But first, we need to research the definition of sport as it is.

Established in the United Kingdom forty years ago, they are now universally recognised and have been adopted and adapted across There is no doubt that there is clear evidence from this footage, of supposedly 'high welfare' certified the world for animals kept in a wide range of circumstances. Indeed, the pre-eminent World farms, that none of the Five Freedoms are being Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) has adopted them as their guiding principles on animal met.

  • The Use of Animals in Sports
    Existence, Breeding, a,nd Rights: The Use of Animals in Sports Donald Scherer Bowling Green State University Against these lines of argument one frequently encounters a certain objection. It is argued that since the animals for fighting, hunting and racing exist only because they have been bred for such human uses, human beings are justified in so treating them. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate this line ofobjection, or to speak more precisely, to evaluate the two distinct objections implicit in this line. For the objection may be either that (l) the present uses of the animals are justified because they are better for the animals than the Standardly, philosophical arguments about the alternative, namely non-existence, or that quality of treatment human beings owe nonhuman animals! rest on two bases. Peter Singer is famous (2) breeding an animal for a purpose gives the for arguing from the capacity of animals to feel pain breeders (transferable) rights over what they to the conclusion that since almost none of the pain have bred. human beings cause animals is necessary, almost none of it is morally justifiable (Singer, 1989, pp. 78-79). I shall pursue these alternatives sequentially. Singer rests his case on the premise that who suffers pain does not affect the badness of the suffering, so The Value of Existence that, without strong justification, the infliction of pain is universally wrong (Ibid., pp. 77-78). Tom Regan is The strength ofthe first form ofthe objection rests on equally famous for his argument that the beliefs and a common intuition comparing the values of existence desires which normal one year-old mammals clearly and non-existence.

It was cited that agriculture accounts for 70% of the earth’s freshwater, 38% of total land use, 19% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Shockingly, half of the crops produced were directed to the raising of livestock (UNEP report, 2010).
