Rev. Kim K. Crawford Harvie Arlington Street Church 3 October, 2010
1 Rev. Kim K. Crawford Harvie Arlington Street Church 3 October, 2010 Love Dogs One night a man was crying, Allah! Allah! His lips grew sweet with the praising, until a cynic said, “So! I have heard you calling out, but have you ever gotten any response?” The man had no answer to that. He quit praying and fell into a confused sleep. He dreamed he saw Khidr,1 the guide of souls, in a thick, green foliage. “Why did you stop praising?” [he asked] “Because I've never heard anything back.” [Khidr, the guide of souls, spoke:] This longing you express is the return message. The grief you cry out from draws you toward union. Your pure sadness that wants help is the secret cup. Listen to the moan of a dog for its master. That whining is the connection. There are love dogs 1 possibly pronounced KY-derr 2 no one knows the names of. Give your life to be one of them.2 That's our friend Rumi, the13th century Persian Sufi mystic: Give your life to be a love dog. George Thorndike Angell was born in 1823. Perhaps because of a childhood in poverty, he had deep convictions about social change. He was already well known for his fourteen year partnership with the antislavery activist Samuel E. Sewall when, one day in March of 1868, two horses, each carrying two riders over forty miles of rough road, were raced until they both dropped dead. George Angell was appalled. He penned a letter of protest that appeared in the Boston Daily Advertiser, “where it caught the attention of Emily Appleton, a prominent Bostonian who deeply loved animals and was already nurturing the first stirrings of an American anticruelty movement. -

Date i Dedication For Scottie. ii Abstract Since the release of video footage exposing the treatment of animals in the live export industry in 2011, ‘animal cruelty’ has increasingly been a major concern in mainstream Australian discourse. Critiques over the inadequacy of current legal protections afforded to animals have had a significant impact on how we debate animal welfare issues and the solutions to them. -
Animal Abuse As a Sentinel for Human Violence: a Critique ∗ Emily G
Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 65, No. 3, 2009, pp. 589--614 Animal Abuse as a Sentinel for Human Violence: A Critique ∗ Emily G. Patterson-Kane American Veterinary Medical Association Heather Piper Manchester Metropolitan University It has been suggested that acts of violence against human and nonhuman an- imals share commonalities, and that animal abuse is a sentinel for current or future violence toward people. The popular and professional acceptance of strong connections between types of violence is beginning to be used to justify social work interventions and to influence legal decision making, and so requires greater scrutiny. Examination of the limited pool of empirical data suggests that animal abuse is relatively common among men, with violent offenders having an increased probability of reporting prior animal abuse—with the majority of violent offend- ers not reporting any animal abuse. Causal explanations for “the link,” such as empathy impairment or conduct disorder, suffer from a lack of validating research and, based on research into interhuman violence, the assumption that violence has a predominant, single underlying cause must be questioned. An (over)emphasis on the danger that animal abusers pose to humans serves to assist in achieving a consensus that animal abuse is a serious issue, but potentially at the cost of failing to focus on the most common types of abuse, and the most effective strategies for reducing its occurrence. Nothing in this review and discussion should be taken as minimizing the importance of animals as frequent victims of violence, or the co-occurrence of abuse types in “at-risk” households. -
Exploring Human – Animal Interactions a Multidisciplinary Approach from Behavioral and Social Sciences
Proceedings Exploring Human – Animal Interactions a multidisciplinary approach from behavioral and social sciences Barcelona 7th – 10th of July 2016 INTRODUCTION Vision, Goals and Objectives Animals were domesticated thousands of years ago and are now present in almost every human society around the world. Nevertheless, only recently scientists have begun to analyse both positive and negative aspects of human-animal relationships. For centuries people have recognised the value of animals for obvious economical reasons, but also as an important source of physical and emotional wellbeing. Indeed, people’s attitudes towards animals depend on a variety of factors, including socio-economical relationships with each particular species, cultural background, religious believes, as well as individual differences regarding behaviour and personality. A proper understanding of these differences requires a multidisciplinary approach, from psychology, social psychology and anthropology to psychiatry and neuroscience. The main goal of the conference would be to provide delegates with an updated and multi-disciplinary overview of human-animal interactions. Selected topics would include but are not limited to: • The concept of empathy in the study of human-animals interactions. • The concept of protected values (or sacred values) in human-animal interactions. • Understanding cultural views on animals. We will also organise a Satellite Meeting (10th of July) on the state of the art of the abandonment of companion animals and global strategies to prevent the abandonment.

Animal Print: the Literary Production of Humane America by Alyssa
Animal Print: The Literary Production of Humane America by Alyssa Chen Walker A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (American Culture) in the University of Michigan 2013 Doctoral Committee: Professor June Howard, Chair Professor Philip J. Deloria Professor Emerita Anne C. Herrmann Associate Professor Susan Scott Parrish © Alyssa Chen Walker 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to the following people whose wisdom, creativity, and generosity have shaped this work (and me) so much for the better. June Howard’s influence on this project extends far back, long before I matriculated at The University of Michigan or knew her as anything other than a literary voice to which I was drawn. This project was inspired by June, and (for so many reasons) it could not have been completed without her. The best moments in it are the product of her wise counsel, fierce optimism, and timely rallying-cry of “Onward!” In theorizing the humane, I have been struck by how fully Anne Herrmann embodies all the good that this term denotes. To be taught by one who poses difficult questions not merely to challenge but to transform has been a treasured gift bequeathed by a supremely humane mentor. I am deeply grateful to Phil Deloria for taking my interest in animals seriously from the very start and for encouraging me to “be myself” (even when doing so took us both into the academically dubious realm of feline detection). By perfectly modeling and generously supporting creative risk-taking, Phil has made joy a full and valid part of my intellectual endeavors. -

Its curative influence is indisputable, and we are, as an organization, tremendously proud of Angell. But long before 1915, when our hospital opened, the MSPCA was already in the healing business. Healing is defined as “the process of curing, physical or spiritual,” and we can easily find literally millions of examples since the MSPCA’s founding in 1868 when animals have been healed here: cured of loneliness, homelessness, disease, injury, fear, hostility, sadness, and more. Before we had a hospital, animals were healed through services offered by our law enforcement officers, humane educators, and advocacy experts, and they still are. Since the availability of Angell’s medical expertise, even more animals are cured, body and soul. We can also say, I think, that at least an equal number of humans have been healed here. -
