ISAZ Newsletter No. 31, August 2006 4 ISAZ 2006 BA RCELONA! ISAZ 2006 Barcelona, Spain 5th-6th October 2006 The Importance of Attitudes, Values, and Economics on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals The selected topic of the meeting will be “The importance of attitudes, values, and economics on the welfare and conservation of animals.” This will be covered in two sessions (morning and afternoon) on the first day. The second day will be devoted to free papers. The AGM of ISAZ will be held on the second day. The meeting will be held in the World Trade Centre Barcelona (www.wtcbarcelona.com) Animal welfare and conservation have become important issues worldwide. Differences still exist, however, on how they are perceived, both between and within countries. This is due, among other things, to differences in attitudes and values. For example, the subjective feeling that moral and religious codes are followed may be an important part of human welfare. The question is whether animal welfare and conservation are at all part of these codes. A related issue is whether raising the awareness of animal welfare problems has a positive effect on people’s attitudes towards human suffering. Attitudes towards animal welfare are also affected by the economic impact of animal welfare and conservation regulations and practices, and perhaps by the economic development of each country or social group. The relationship between attitudes/values and the welfare/conservation of animals, as well as the interplay between economy and animal welfare and conservation will be addressed with regard to companion, laboratory, farm and wild animals.

  • Sami Torssonen Sellfare: a History of Livestock Welfare Commodification
    H U M a N I M A L I A 7:1 Sami Torssonen Sellfare: A History of Livestock Welf are Commodification as Governance Introduction. The commodification of livestock welfare has recently become a prominent topic of discussion among producers, retailers, nongovernmental organizations, policy makers, and academics. Welfare is increasingly considered “a win-win opportunity for animals, farmers and consumers,” as the title of a 2012 conference organized by FAO and the Slow Food organization proclaims, since “farming practices that take into account high animal welfare standards guarantee greater productivity, better quality, more food safety and added value for farmers” (The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). Commodification is not expected to happen by itself, however. The European Union’s 2012 animal welfare strategy, published at an event titled “Empowering consumers and creating market opportunities for animal welfare” (European Commission, “Animal Welfare”), propounds active “valorization of welfare standards as a means to enhance competitiveness of EU food industry” and attempts to seize “every opportunity to express in economic terms the value added by animal welfare policy” (European Commission, “Communication From the Commission” 4, 7). The texts quoted above, and many others like them, are part of a process through which the production and sale of livestock welfare has recently become feasible. Operational welfare measurement systems have been developed for use in livestock production facilities (e.g., Blokhuis). A plethora of assessment, certification, marketing, and education schemes have been introduced (Schmid and Kilchsperger). Studies on the welfare market are proliferating (Norwood and Lusk 302–305). Together these developments enable the production of livestock welfare for sale, i.e.

    An Animal Without an Animal Within For Hector Örebro Studies in Sociology 17 DAVID REDMALM An Animal Without an Animal Within The Powers of Pet Keeping Cover photo frontpage: Anna Redmalm Cover photo backpage: Clara Iversen © David Redmalm, 2013 Title: An Animal Without an Animal Within: The Powers of Pet Keeping. Publisher: Örebro University 2013 www.publications.oru.se Print: Örebro University, Repro 10/2013 ISSN 1650-2531 ISBN 978-91-7668-971-4 Abstract David Redmalm (2013): An Animal Without an Animal Within: The Powers of Pet Keeping. Örebro Studies in Sociology 17, 119 pp. If the human is an animal without an animal within—a creature that has transcended the animal condition—what is a pet? This creature balancing on the border between nature and culture, simultaneously included in and excluded from a human “we”, is the focus of this thesis. The thesis analyz- es the discourses and normative frameworks structuring the meaning of pets in people’s lives. By extension, it analyzes how the boundary between “human” and “animal” is produced, negotiated, and challenged in the relationship between pet and owner. Each of this thesis’ four constituent studies focuses on an aspect of per- sonal relationships between humans and pets: pets as figures for philosoph- ical thinking, the dual role of pets as commodities and companions, the grief for lost pets, and the power issues at play in the everyday life of pet and owner. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s genealogical approach, cross- bred with Donna Haraway’s material-semiotic perspective, the analysis exposes the powers allowing pets to occupy these various positions.

  • Six Ways in Which Australian Animal Welfare Laws Permit Cruelty Towards
    LAWFUL CRUELTY: SIX WAYS IN WHICH AUSTRALIAN ANIMAL WELFARE LAWS PERMIT CRUELTY TOWARDS NONHUMAN ANIMALS KATHERINE. E. RUSSELL LLB (HONS), BA, DIP. MUSIC (UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE) A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ADELAIDE LAW SCHOOL THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE DECEMBER 2017 Page 1 of 305 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: The Intellectual Context: Literature Review and the Unique Contribution of this Thesis Chapter 3: Legal Persons, Legal Things, and Somewhere In Between Chapter 4: Australian Animal ‘Welfare’ Laws Chapter 5: The Commodification of Nonhuman Animals Chapter 6: The Policy of Inaction Chapter 7: The Myth of Animal Protection Chapter 8: Keeping Cruelty Invisible: Laws that Punish Civil Disobedience Chapter 9: Conclusion Page 2 of 305 ABSTRACT The central argument of this thesis is that the very same laws that purport to prohibit cruelty towards nonhuman animals in Australia are responsible for facilitating it. Australian animal welfare statutes, regulations and Codes of Practice all state the prevention of cruelty towards nonhuman animals as their objective. They contain provisions which not only prohibit cruel conduct, but they also place positive duties on those who have a nonhuman animal within their custody and control to do certain things to ensure their basic welfare needs are met. Yet, nonhuman animals in Australia are lawfully treated with cruelty on a routine basis. They are confined to cages so small they cannot turn around, they have surgical procedures performed on their bodies without anaesthetic or pain relief, and they may be slaughtered without being rendered unconscious or insensible to pain.

  • Public Comment on Proposed Priorities
    600 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE Suite 450 Washington, DC 20003 Deborah Dubow Press [email protected] (202) 621-6927 Director of Regulatory Affairs www.aspca.org July 27, 2015 The Honorable Patti B. Saris, U.S. Sentencing Commission One Columbus Circle, NE, Suite 2-500 Washington, DC, 20002-8002 Subject: Animal fighting guideline on proposed priority list Dear Judge Saris: On behalf of the ASPCA, I thank the Commission for considering the animal fighting penalty guideline as a priority for the 2015/2016 amendment cycle. We heard from over 5,000 of our members in support of the Commission’s proposal to examine and amend the animal fighting sentencing guideline. We submit those comments here as an attachment. Animal fighting is a uniquely brutal crime which may involve hundreds of victims. The perpetrators are dangerous criminals commonly involved in crimes related to drugs, weapons, illegal gambling, and money laundering. Amending the animal fighting guideline would ensure that prosecutors pursue animal fighting charges vigorously and that the sentences handed down reflect the scale and cruelty of these crimes. The current animal fighting sentencing guideline should reflect the maximum penalty of five years authorized by Congress. The Commission last addressed the guidelines for animal fighting offenses in 2008 after passage of the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act of 2007, which made animal fighting in violation of 7 U.S.C. §2156 a felony offense with a maximum penalty of three years. Congress then raised the statutory maximum penalty to five years’ imprisonment in the 2008 Farm Bill in response to the horrific and highly publicized Michael Vick dog fighting case.

  • The Animal Rights Struggle
    PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS 6 PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Traïni From the beginning of the 19th century to the present day, a host of campaigners have denounced the mistreatment of animals. Relying on a comparison between the British and French experiences, The Animal Rights Struggle: An Essay in Historical Sociology retraces the various strands of the animal protection movement, from their origins to their continuing impact on current debates. Inextricably linked to the rise of philanthropy, and well established long before the birth of the ecology movement, the story of the collective mobilizations behind the struggle for animal rights sheds light on several crucial processes in our social and political history: changes in sensibilities and socially approved emotions; the definition of what constitutes legitimate violence; the establishment of norms designed to change what constitutes morally acceptable practices; rivalry between elites having differing conceptions of the forms authority should take; the influence of religious belief on militant activities; and the effects of gender discrimination. The Rights Animal Struggle Christophe Traïni is professor of Political Science at the Institute of Political Science in Aix-en-Provence. His publications include La musique en colère (Paris: Presses de Sciences Po, 2008), La cause animale (Paris: PUF, 2011), and the edition of the reader Emotions ... mobilisation!

  • Post-Zoo Design: Alternative Futures in the Anthropocene
    Post-Zoo Design: Alternative Futures in the Anthropocene by Rua Alshaheen A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2019 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Renata Hejduk, Chair Braden Allenby Ed Finn Darren Petrucci ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2019 ©2019 Rua Alshaheen All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Public awareness of nature and environmental issues has grown in the last decades and zoos have successfully followed suit by re-branding themselves as key representatives for conservation. However, considering the fast rate of environmental degradation, in the near future, zoos may become the only place left for wildlife. Some scholars argue that we have entered a new epoch titled the “Anthropocene” that postulates the idea that untouched pristine nature is almost nowhere to be found.1 Many scientists and scholars argue that it is time that we embraced this environmental situation and anticipated the change. 2 Clearly, the impact of urbanization is reaching into the wild, so how can we design for animals in our artificializing world? Using the Manoa School method that argues that every future includes these four, generic, alternatives: growth, discipline, collapse, and transformation3, this dissertation explores possible future animal archetypes by considering multiple possibilities of post zoo design.
