Kan vi rättfärdiga speciesism? : En utvärdering av Shelly Kagans kritik mot Peter Singers definition av speciesism / Can we justify speciesism? : An evaluation of Shelly Kagan´s criticizm of Peter Singer´s definition of speciesismVikander, Dennis January 2021 (has links)
Det blir alltmer vanligt med vegetarisk och vegansk kost i Sverige. Många väljer bort kött- och mejeriprodukter på grund av miljöaspekter men även för att främja djurens rättigheter. Mänskliga rättigheter är ett ämne som diskuteras bland annat i politiken, i skolan och på universiteten. Relationen mellan djurens rättigheter och mänskliga rättigheter diskuteras dock inte i lika hög grad, och hur vi ser den relationen varierarmellan olika personer. Jag tror att i princip ingen anser att andra arter än vi människor är moraliskt obetydliga men de allra flesta anser nog att vi människor är, i moralens ögon, viktigare. Hur relationen mellan människors och djurens rättigheterser ut har nog få funderat över i ingående detalj och med denna uppsats hoppas jag att vi kan få en tydligare bild av detta. / Vegetarian and vegan diets are becoming more common in Sweden. Many dismiss meat and dairy products due to environmental aspects and also in favor of animal rights. Human rights is a topic often discussed in politics, in school and at universities. The relationship between animal rights and human rights however are not discussed to the same extent, and how we envision that relationship varies greatly between different people. I believe that there are few who think that other species than humans are completely morally insignificant but the vast majority of people however probably believe that we humans are, in the eyes of morality, at least more important. I imagine there are few who have considered how the relationship between human and animal rights look in great detail and with this essay I hope that we can get a clearer picture of that relationship.

The ethics of animal liberationCooke, Stephen January 2012 (has links)
This thesis addresses the moral permissibility of illegal acts of animal liberation in the form of civil disobedience, acts of rescue, and acts of sabotage. Animal liberation movements have been the subject of much media and political attention, with particular focus on use liberationist strategies of intimidation, vandalism, and harassment. Governments have mobilised state apparatus in surveillance, infiltration, and investigation, and have characterising radical activism as 'terrorism'. The variety of illegal activities aimed at preventing harm to non-human animals, particularly those involving violence towards property or persons, have often been classified together under the term 'animal liberation' and assumed to be wrong. I argue that the assumption of wrongness is questionable because it fails to give significant weight to the justification for acts of animal liberation. I pose the question as to whether and what illegal practices of animal liberation are ethically justifiable. I begin by arguing that non-human animals are worthy of moral consideration for their own sake, because their sentience above a basic level, particularly their capacity to suffer, gives moral agents reasons to acknowledge and respect their goods. Following this, I defend the claim that liberal democratic states that fail to treat animals living within them with respect are unjust. This injustice provides a justification for civil disobedience on behalf of non-human animals. Following this, I argue that beings worthy of moral consideration are owed positive duties of aid and easy rescue and I extend third-party intervention theory to non-human animals under threat from humans. I explore the limits to the duties of aid and intervention, using principles drawn from those of humanitarian intervention to identify duty bearers, and I weigh those duties against duties to fellow citizens and the state.

Previous issue date: 2013 / Partindo-se de reflexões que envolvem a exploração animal com os três aspectos da ecologia e com o onirismo ativo vivenciado e propagado pelos defensores dos direitos animais, procurou-se criar dispositivos com micro-intervenções urbanas que foram realizadas em diversos espaços. Objetivou-se sensibilizar as pessoas através da Educação Estética para a condição que impomos aos demais animais. O trabalho apontou a importância do movimento de Libertação Animal para o contexto da Educação Ambiental, enquadrando-se nos estudos que relacionam ética, estética, saúde e educação. Buscou-se mostrar que a instrumentalização dos animais não-humanos perpassa por quase todas nossas atividades e não raras vezes, essas práticas estão igualmente associadas à exploração humana e ambiental. As intervenções foram capturadas em fotografia e filmagem e transformadas em um recurso áudio-visual. Procurou-se, desta forma, contribuir com a Educação Ambiental Não-Formal disponibilizando-se um material didático a ser utilizado enquanto fomentador de espaços de diálogo para problematizar a situação dos animais não-humanos e como ela também nos afeta, abrindo, assim, caminhos para que seja possível desenvolver uma Educação Ambiental com perspectiva da inclusão da consideração moral pelos animais. Esta pesquisa qualitativa apresenta cunho experimental e se propõe a ser produtora de reflexão a cerca do especismo e como ele se reflete em nosso corpus social, individual e educacional. / Beginning with reflections that involve animal exploitation with the three aspects of the ecology and the active oneirism lived and propagated by the animal rights defenders, we created urban micro interventions accomplished at many different places. Aiming to sensitize people through Aesthetic Education to impose the condition that the other animals this work indicated the contribution of Animal Liberation to the Environmental Education context. It is framed in studies that relate ethics, aesthetics, health and education. Search to show that the nonhuman- animals instrumentalization permeates almost all of our activities and not infrequently, these practices are also associated with human and environmental exploitation. The interventions were photographed and filmed and became an audio visual resource. This way, we intended to contribute to Non Formal Environmental Education providing an educational material to be used while developers forums for dialogue to discuss the plight of nonhuman animals and as it also affects us, thereby opening avenues to be able to develop an Environmental Education perspective with the inclusion of moral consideration for animals. This qualitative study presents experimental nature and aims to be producing the reflection about speceism and how it is reflected in our social, individual and educational corpus.

To Paint a Bleaker Picture : 'the Ungrievables' and the exploration into combining art and activismSporken, Jetty Silurian January 2022 (has links)
This research and artistic work is focused on the intersection of Art and Activism, and visually communicating the inherent suffering caused by human’s dominion over animals. In communicating suffering and dominion over animals, I aim to show and question the social norms that construct and support these discriminatory attitudes and practices towards non-human animals. My overarching practice explores the features of illustration and activism and how they can be combined. I explore different mediums and styles, resulting in a variety of artistic expressions. These expressions are then combined with an activistic purpose.

Happy Meat as a Passive Revolution: A Gramscian Analysis of Ethical MeatGagnon, Pierre-André 08 February 2019 (has links)
This thesis starts from the proposition that the ethical meat discourse that is, the discourse recognizing that factory farming is unacceptable while maintaining that it is possible to produce meat in an acceptable way — has not been thoroughly analyzed. Indeed, both the partisans of this idea and the animal rights literature provide oversimplified analyses of this relatively new phenomenon. Considering its explosion in popularity since Michael Pollan published the essay “An Animal's Place” in The New York Times Magazine in 2002, this lack of research is particularly problematic for the animal rights movement as this new discourse directly counters its objectives. As such, this thesis uses Gramsci’s concept of passive revolution to develop a richer analysis of the apparent marginalizing effect that this discourse has on the animal rights movement. More precisely, the thesis addresses the question: “If the emergence of the ethical meat discourse is understood as part of a passive revolution, what can the specific process of passive revolution tell us about the impacts of the ethical meat discourse on the animal rights movement?” It argues that the passive revolution operates on two levels: (1) it depoliticizes the issue of meat consumption by presenting it as irrelevant and reducing it to technical details and (2) it absorbs the moderate elements of the animal rights movement by proposing an attractive alternative. Both of these processes lead to the marginalization of the few animal advocacy organizations still criticizing ethical meat. The analysis is divided in three parts. The first and second analyze respectively the content of the discourse and internal dynamics of the coalition formed around it using Maarten Hajer’s concept of discourse-coalition. Building on this comprehensive understanding of the ethical meat discourse, the actual process of passive revolution is analyzed by looking at the way the meat industry, environmental organizations and animal advocacy organizations engage with it.

Argumentace a východiska organizací hájících práva zvířat - lze najít sblížení s ochranou přírody? / Arguments and bases of organizations defending animal rights - can we find rapprochement with the protection of nature?Vohnoutová, Pavla January 2014 (has links)
In today's society prevails superior attitude to animals that are seen as mere resources, and this work seeks to highlight this issue . The theoretical part shows where this attitude has its roots and then moves into the context of environmental ethics, while trying to show the views that contradict this position. Practical part is looking for arguments and basis of organizations defending the rights of animals and their possible rapprochement with the protection of nature. The chosen method is to analyze the websites of selected organizations defending the rights of animals, focusing on what the organization published on their websitet and what is missing. The main finding is that the central idea of animal rights organizations is the intrinsic value of animals as beings with a right to a dignified life and with the right to satisfy their natural needs. Protection of the nature on the contrary often prefers to the value of each individual animal the value of nature as a whole. Possible rapprochement with the protection of nature can then be found mainly in areas where there is a distortion of values as both protectino of animals and protection of nature. Key words: animal liberation, animal rights, intrinsic value, protection of animals, protection of nature, organizations defending animal rights
