  • Ruth Harrison and Other Animals
    from Oxford Magazine no.340, 2nd Week, Michaelmas Term 2013, pp.6-7 Ruth Harrison and Other Animals MATTHEW SIMPSON There was an excellent conference in the Zoology Department earlier this year on the subject of two pioneering books published about fifty years ago and the two heroic women who wrote them. Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962) is the better-known book, in print ever since its first appearance. Ruth Harrison’s exposé of factory farming, Animal Machines (1964), did not reappear in a second edition until the occasion of this Oxford conference, although she had persisted as an eloquent and effective agitator on her subject until her death in the year 2000. In fact the closing speaker at the conference told a story neatly illustrating this persistence: some farming representative expressed his relief at finding that the tenacious Ruth Harrison was apparently no longer present at a meeting, but he was quickly corrected from behind a filing cabinet (it was a small room): “I’m still here.” To which our speaker added, “And indeed she is.” I must say that I inwardly disputed that addition, at least in its most immediate application. We were generously fed during the conference (for which, sincere thanks), but there was no indication of the food’s provenance – that is, of how the land or the animals implicated in it had been treated. It was blithely Carson/Harrison-free fare. Nor did the organisers wish to take up the suggestion (no doubt they had very good academic and other reasons) that the conference might sponsor a statement of some sort, urging the University’s catering committees to do their best to act upon the teachings of the two women.

  • Pigs, Products, Prototypes and Performances
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DESIGN EDUCATION 5 & 6 SEPTEMBER 2013, DUBLIN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, DUBLIN, IRELAND ZOOCENTRIC DESIGN: PIGS, PRODUCTS, PROTOTYPES AND PERFORMANCES Seaton BAXTER 1 and Fraser BRUCE 2 1 The Centre for the Study of Natural Design, DJCAD, University of Dundee 2 Product Design, DJCAD, University of Dundee ABSTRACT This paper is concerned with how we apply design to our association with other non-human animals. It exemplifies this with the domestication and current use of the pig (Sus domesticus). After a brief review of the process of domestication, the paper looks at modern production and the increase in concerns for animal health, welfare and performance and the link to food for human consumption. The paper elaborates on the extreme nature of intensive pig production systems and the role that design plays in their operations. It points out the prototypical nature of the modern pigs’ evolution and the means by which man contributes his own prototypes to these changes. It pays some attention to the often conflicting concerns of efficient production and animal welfare. It exemplifies this in a brief study of 2 design products - floor systems and feeding systems, and through the use of a Holmesian type puzzle, shows the complex interrelationships of the two products. The paper emphasises the need for designers to avoid extreme anthropomorphism, adopt whenever possible a zoocentric and salutogenic (health oriented) approach and remain fully aware that all technical decisions are also likely to be ethical decisions. The paper concludes with some suggestions of what might be incorporated into the curriculum of product design courses.

By focusing on the public debate surrounding the publication of Ruth Harrison's Animal Machines (1964), this article seeks to better understand the impact of the book by exploring the context in which it was published, the extent and nature of reporting in connection with it, and its reception. The article draws on the specialist and farming press from the period, in parallel to the broad­ sheets and parliamentary debate, and uses battery farming as a case study. It argues that, though materially significant, the rhetorical opposition established in this debate between intensive and traditional systems was representative neither of British agricultural production in the 1960s nor of the established concerns about "factory farming" already being discussed in the countryside at that time.

  • Government Regulations of Shechita (Jewish Religious Slaughter) in the Twenty-First Century: Are They Ethical?
    J Agric Environ Ethics (2012) 25:747–763 DOI 10.1007/s10806-011-9324-4 ARTICLES Government Regulations of Shechita (Jewish Religious Slaughter) in the Twenty-First Century: Are They Ethical? Ari Z. Zivotofsky Accepted: 1 July 2011 / Published online: 15 July 2011 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011 Abstract Human beings have engaged in animal husbandry and have slaughtered animals for food for thousands of years. During the majority of that time most societies had no animal welfare regulations that governed the care or slaughter of animals. Judaism is a notable exception in that from its earliest days it has included such rules. Among the Jewish dietary laws is a prohibition to consume meat from an animal that dies in any manner other than through the rigorously defined method of slaughter known as shechita. In recent decades more and more attempts have been initiated by governments around the world to either outright ban or to control and modify the practice of shechita. This paper presents the requisite background about shechita and then analyzes the ethics of some of the recent legislation. The analysis includes a rebuttal of the assertion that shechita is an inhumane method of slaughter. It further presents the consequences on the Jewish community of legislation to impose pre-slaughter stunning and explains why such legislation is unethical. The actual effect of labeling laws is discussed and it is shown why such laws are also un- ethical. Keywords Animal welfare Á Ethics Á Government regulations Á Religious slaughter Á Shechita Introduction Human beings have historically maintained animals for food production, labor, and companionship.

Given the absolutely abhorrent conditions that are currently plaguing your city and entire state, your efforts should be attempting to figure out your homeless problem!! Communication from Public Name: Date Submitted: 05/17/2021 01:38 PM Council File No: 20-1575 Comments for Public Posting: Please Do NOT Ban Rodeo and Bull Riding in Los Angeles! This ordinance is unnecessary – PBR already takes great care of the bulls!! - The health and safety of the animals in bull riding is paramount. These animal athletes get the best care and live a great life – extending four to five times as long as the average bull. - PBR stock contractors make their living by breeding, training, and working with their animal athletes. They truly love these animal athletes, treat them as a member of their own family, and have many safeguards in place to ensure their care. - The bulls in PBR are not wild animals forced to compete – they’re bred and trained for their jobs. Bulls buck because of their genetics. They are not abused or coerced to compete. The flank straps and dull spurs used in PBR do NOT harm the bulls. - In addition to bringing millions of dollars of economic impact to LA, bull riding teaches important values like hard work, charity, respect, responsibility, and honesty. The sport is inclusive and promotes equality.
