    Bovine Benefactories: an Examination of the Role of Religion in Cow Sanctuaries Across the United States

    BOVINE BENEFACTORIES: AN EXAMINATION OF THE ROLE OF RELIGION IN COW SANCTUARIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES _______________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board _______________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ________________________________________________________________ by Thomas Hellmuth Berendt August, 2018 Examing Committee Members: Sydney White, Advisory Chair, TU Department of Religion Terry Rey, TU Department of Religion Laura Levitt, TU Department of Religion Tom Waidzunas, External Member, TU Deparment of Sociology ABSTRACT This study examines the growing phenomenon to protect the bovine in the United States and will question to what extent religion plays a role in the formation of bovine sanctuaries. My research has unearthed that there are approximately 454 animal sanctuaries in the United States, of which 146 are dedicated to farm animals. However, of this 166 only 4 are dedicated to pigs, while 17 are specifically dedicated to the bovine. Furthermore, another 50, though not specifically dedicated to cows, do use the cow as the main symbol for their logo. Therefore the bovine is seemingly more represented and protected than any other farm animal in sanctuaries across the United States. The question is why the bovine, and how much has religion played a role in elevating this particular animal above all others. Furthermore, what constitutes a sanctuary? Does

    Case 1:13-cv-10951-DJC Document 275 Filed 12/15/16 Page 1 of 22 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS DONALD THOMAS SCHOLZ, Plaintiff and Defendant-in-Counterclaim, v. Civil Action No. 1:13-cv-10951-DJC BARRY GOUDREAU, Defendant and Plaintiff-in-Counterclaim. MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANT BARRY GOUDREAU’S MOTION FOR COSTS AND ATTORNEY’S FEES PURSUANT TO 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a) Pursuant to the Court’s order (D. 269), defendant BARRY GOUDREAU (“Goudreau”) hereby submits his memorandum of law in support of the above-referenced motion as prevailing party on the Lanham Act claims of plaintiff DONALD THOMAS SCHOLZ (“Scholz”). I. INTRODUCTION This case was never about violation of the Lanham Act. To say otherwise constitutes a failure in honesty to the Court. Putting it bluntly, Scholz’s Lanham Act claims were a sham. The Court disposed of most of those bogus claims on summary judgment, finding a complete lack of evidence. As for the remaining “indirect” infringement claims, ginned up in an amended pleading, there was never any consumer confusion, or even the remotest likelihood of such, in referring to Goudreau’s past participation (whether as “former” or “original” member) in the band BOSTON. There was never any harm to Scholz or his trademarks in doing so. The parties’ goods and services weren’t in competition, and were never likely to be. Lanham Act cases are difficult and complex. That Act has a fee-shifting provision for “exceptional” cases. The Supreme Court has recently provided guidance to the lower courts on how and when that provision should apply.

Factory Farming Nearly all animal products consumed in the United States come from animals raised on factory farms, which are industrial-scale agricultural facilities that keep hundreds to thousands of animals in high-density confinement.1 These factory farms are only one component of the highly-consolidated animal agriculture industry, which is no longer controlled by family farmers, but by a handful of large corporations. The animal agriculture industry produces cheap animal products by prioritizing efficiency above all other considerations, including animal welfare, the environment, rural communities, human health, workers, and small family farms.
  • 'Tiger King' Shines Light on an Endangered Species Act Quirk by Stephanie Clark

    'Tiger King' Shines Light on an Endangered Species Act Quirk by Stephanie Clark

    'Tiger King' Shines Light On An Endangered Species Act Quirk By Stephanie Clark The sweeping and rapid ascent to popularity of Netflix Inc.'s "Tiger King" documentary series has fueled new interest in two congressional bills that stalled in committee last year, and has drawn public attention to a quirk of the Endangered Species Act, or ESA. The series, which focuses on the strange and true story of Joseph "Joe Exotic" Maldonado-Passage, broadly covers the existence of private zoos in the U.S., with a specific focus on big cat zoos and sanctuaries. As the series notes from the beginning, each of the big cats featured in these zoos is an endangered species whose numbers have dwindled significantly in the wild. How, then, are these private zoo Stephanie Clark owners permitted to breed captive endangered species, such as tigers? This is a quirk of the ESA. While the ESA protects these species from take "wherever found," it also allows for captive-bred wildlife to exist within the U.S., and provides an exception from the take prohibition for registered captive-bred wildlife. Specifically, the ESA's captive- bred wildlife program and a variety of other laws and regulations govern the keeping, breeding and transfer of wildlife that is otherwise endangered but located in zoos and sanctuaries in the U.S. What does the ESA prohibit? The ESA prohibits "taking" of endangered species. "Take" is defined to mean harm, harass, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture or collect. The ESA also makes it illegal to import, export, deliver, receive, carry, transport, ship in interstate or foreign commerce, sell or offer for sale in interstate or foreign commerce, take on the high seas, possess, ship, deliver, carry, transport, sell, or receive unlawfully taken wildlife.
