    How Scary Are the Mental Health Risks of Vegetarianism? Harold Herzog, Animal Studies Repository

    The Animal Studies Repository From the SelectedWorks of Harold Herzog, Ph.D. December 15, 2015 How Scary Are the Mental Health Risks of Vegetarianism? Harold Herzog, Animal Studies Repository Available at: https://works.bepress.com/harold-herzog/84/ Hal Herzog, Ph.D., Animals and Us How Scary Are the Mental Health Risks of Vegetarianism? How strong is the link between vegetarianism and mental illness? Posted Dec 15, 2015 A headline in Women’s Health Magazine recently caught my attention: “The Scary Mental Health Risks of Going Meatless.” The headline made it sound like replacing the bacon and prime rib in your diet with tofu and seitan will make you mentally ill. I have previously written about the link between vegetarianism and eating disorders. But I’ve never argued that giving up animal flesh causes emotional problems, so I decided to check out the major study the headline was based on. What I found illustrates why you should not get your science news from flashy headlines and the problem of link-think in anthrozoology (the study of human-animal relationships). The claim that going veg can make you crazy was based on a 2012 study which appeared in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity. The research team, led by German psychologist Johannes Michalak, reanalyzed data from a 2002 epidemiological study that examined the physical and mental health of a large randomly selected sample of German adults. A few studies have linked vegetarianism to poor mental health and one study found vegetarians were psychologically better off than meat eaters.
  • What Is Anthrozoology?

    What Is Anthrozoology?

    WHAT IS ANTHROZOOLOGY? This lesson plan was developed from an anthrozoological perspective. Anthrozoology is a study that focuses on the many and varied ways in which humans perceive, engage, compete and co-exist with non-human animals. In order to understand our complex relationship with animals we humans share space with, anthrozoology takes an inter- disciplinary approach to human-animal interactions by gathering information from anthropology, sociology, human geography, ethnozoology, biology, psychology, law, philosophy and veterinary medicine, behavioural science and history. If you are interested in learning more about anthrozoology and how it adds to our understanding of human-animal interactions, the following book is a good starting point: Humans and Other Animals Cross-Cultural Perspective on Human-Animal Interactions by Samantha Hurn. LESSON PLAN FOR ELEPHANATICS (for grade 10 to grade 12 students) General questions about animals and how the students think about animals in general: 1. Is a human an animal? 2. Are insects, fish, rodents or reptiles animals – if not what are they? 3. What do you think culture is? 4. How does culture effect our relationship with animals? Questions about elephants: 1. A sentient being is something that feels and expresses emotions. Do you think elephants are sentient beings? 2. What characteristics would you expect an elephant to display? 3. List the ways elephants interact with humans. 4. With each interaction between humans and animals, list the pros and cons of that interaction for elephants and humans.

    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.
  • Why Do Most Vegetarians Go Back to Eating Meat?

    Why Do Most Vegetarians Go Back to Eating Meat?

    Published on Psychology Today (http://www.psychologytoday.com) Why Do Most Vegetarians Go Back To Eating Meat? By Hal Herzog, Ph.D. Created Jun 20 2011 - 3:23pm I am interviewing Staci Giani who is forty-one but looks ten years younger. Raised in the Connecticut suburbs, she now lives with her partner Gregory in a self-sustaining eco-community deep in the mountains twenty minutes north of Old Fort, North Carolina. Staci radiates strength, and when she talks about food, she gets excited and seems to glow. She is Italian-American, attractive, and you want to smile when you talk to her. She tells me that she and Gregory built their own house, even cutting the timber and milling the logs. I think to myself, "This woman could kick my ass." Staci wasn't always so fit. In her early 30's, Staci's health started going downhill. After twelve years of strict vegetarianism, she began to suffer from anemia and chronic fatigue syndrome, and she experienced stomach pains for two hours after every meal. "I was completely debilitated," she tells me. "Then I changed the way I ate." "Tell me about your diet now. What did you have for breakfast today?" I ask. "A half pint of raw beef liver," she says. * * * Ok....Staci is a bit extreme in her carnivory -- these days she prefers her meat raw, and she eats a lot of it. But the transformation from hard-core vegetarian to meat-eater that Staci illustrates is surprisingly common. Indeed, according to a 2005 survey by CBS News, three times as many American adults admit to being "ex-vegetarians" than describe themselves as current vegetarians.

  • The Use of Animals in Sports

    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.

    The Practice of Hunting As a Way to Transcend Alienation from Nature

    The Journal of Transdisciplinary Environmental Studies vol. 17, no. 1, 2019 The Practice of Hunting as a Way to Transcend Alienation from Nature Lara Tickle, Ph.D. scholar Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) Division of Environmental Communication Department of Urban and Rural Development Postal address: P.O. Box 7012, SE-750 07 Uppsala, SWEDEN Visiting and delivery address: Ulls väg 28, SE-756 51 Uppsala, SWEDEN Telephone: +46 (0) 186 725 88 Abstract: This paper explores whether and to what extent the practice of leisure hunting is used as a way to transcend the human-nature alienation and thereby reconcile modern society and nature. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with hunters around Stockholm, Sweden and participant observation. In the paper, modernity is discussed from a Marxist perspective as causing the alienation of human beings from nature and natural sources of production through processes of industrialisation, capitalism and urbanisation. By exploring hunting as an ancient activity in a modern society the paper further discusses whether hunting can, through managing and harvesting wildlife, offer some kind of insight into people’s interaction with natural sources of production. The question is whether hunting has the potential to facilitate a more profound appreciation of wildlife and ecosystems by reconnecting people with nature. The effects of Modernity on hunting are also discussed to reflect some of the paradoxes and internal contradictions that exist within hunting. Keywords: Hunting, Alienation, Reconciliation, Modernity, Nature Introduction The first question that led to this project is “why monetize value and separate producers from con- would modern people want to hunt?”.

    Anthrozoology and Sharks, Looking at How Human-Shark Interactions Have Shaped Human Life Over Time

    Anthrozoology and Public Perception: Humans and Great White Sharks (Carchardon carcharias) on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA Jessica O’Toole A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Marine Affairs University of Washington 2020 Committee: Marc L. Miller, Chair Vincent F. Gallucci Program Authorized to Offer Degree School of Marine and Environmental Affairs © Copywrite 2020 Jessica O’Toole 2 University of Washington Abstract Anthrozoology and Public Perception: Humans and Great White Sharks (Carchardon carcharias) on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA Jessica O’Toole Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Marc L. Miller School of Marine and Environmental Affairs Anthrozoology is a relatively new field of study in the world of academia. This discipline, which includes researchers ranging from social studies to natural sciences, examines human-animal interactions. Understanding what affect these interactions have on a person’s perception of a species could be used to create better conservation strategies and policies. This thesis uses a mixed qualitative methodology to examine the public perception of great white sharks on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. While the area has a history of shark interactions, a shark related death in 2018 forced many people to re-evaluate how they view sharks. Not only did people express both positive and negative perceptions of the animals but they also discussed how the attack caused them to change their behavior in and around the ocean. Residents also acknowledged that the sharks were not the only problem living in the ocean. They often blame seals for the shark attacks, while also claiming they are a threat to the fishing industry.
