Zoo Ethics examines the workings of modern zoos and considers the
core ethical challenges faced by people who choose to hold and
display animals in zoos, aquariums, or sanctuaries. Jenny Gray
asserts the value of animal life and assesses the impacts of modern
zoos, including the costs to animals in terms of welfare and the
loss of liberty. Gray highlights contemporary events, including the
killing of the gorilla Harambe at the Cincinnati Zoo in May 2016,
the widely publicized culling of a young giraffe in the Copenhagen
Zoo in 2014, and the investigation of the Tiger Temple in western
Thailand. Gray describes the positive welfare and health outcomes
of many animals held in zoos, the increased attention and
protection for their species in the wild, and the enjoyment and
education of the people who visit zoos. Zoo Ethics will empower
students of animal ethics and veterinary sciences, zoo and aquarium
professionals, and interested zoo visitors to have an informed view
of the challenges of compassionate conservation and to develop
their own ethical positions.

Thomas Hardy and Animals examines the human and nonhuman animals
who walk and crawl and fly across and around the pages of Hardy's
novels. Animals abound in his writings, yet little scholarly
attention has been paid to them so far. This book fills this gap in
Hardy studies, bringing an important author within range of a new
and developing area of critical inquiry. It considers the way
Hardy's representations of animals challenged ideas of human-animal
boundaries debated by the Victorian scientific and philosophical
communities. In moments of encounter between humans and animals,
Hardy questions boundaries based on ideas of moral sense or moral
agency, language and reason, the possession of a face, and the
capacity to suffer and perceive pain. Through an emphasis on
embodied encounters, his writings call for an extension of empathy
to others, human or nonhuman. In this accessible book Anna West
offers a new approach to Hardy criticism.
Animal Metropolis brings a Canadian perspective to the growing
field of animal history, ranging across species and cities, from
the beavers who engineered Stanley Park to the carthorses who
shaped the city of Montreal. Some essays consider animals as
spectacle: orca captivity in Vancouver, polar bear tourism in
Churchill, Manitoba, fish on display in the Dominion Fisheries
Museum, and the racialized memory of Jumbo the elephant in St.
Thomas, Ontario. Others examine the bodily intimacies of shared
urban spaces: the regulation of rabid dogs in Banff, the maternal
politics of pure milk in Hamilton and the circulation of tetanus
bacilli from horse to human in Toronto. Another considers the
marginalization of women in Canada's animal welfare movement. The
authors collectively push forward from a historiography that
features nonhuman animals as objects within human-centered
inquiries to a historiography that considers the eclectic contacts,
exchanges, and cohabitation of human and nonhuman animals.

Animal Property Rights: A Theory of Habitat Rights for Wild Animals
represents the first attempt to extend liberal property rights
theory across the species barrier to animals. It broadens the
traditional focus of animal rights beyond basic rights to life and
bodily integrity to rights to the natural areas in which animal
reside. John Hadley argues that both proponents of animal rights
and environmentalists ought to support animal property rights
because protecting habitat promotes ecological values and helps to
ensure animals live free from human interference. Hadley's focus is
pragmatist - he locates animal property rights within the
institution of property as it exists today in liberal democracies.
He argues that attempts to justify animal property rights on labor
and first occupancy grounds will likely fail; instead, he grounds
animal property rights upon the importance of habitat for the
satisfaction of animals' basic needs. The potential of animal
property rights as a way of reinvigorating existing public policy
responses to the problem of biodiversity loss due to habitat
destruction is thoroughly explored. Using the concept of
guardianship for cognitively impaired human beings, Hadley
translates habitat rights as a right to negotiate - human guardians
ought to be allowed to negotiate, on behalf of wild animals, with
human landholders whose development activities put animals at risk.
In addition to a theory of animal property rights, Animal Property
Rights affords a critique of Donaldson and Kymlicka's wild animal
sovereignty theory, a defence of indirect approaches to animal
rights, an extensive discussion of euthanasia as a 'therapeutic
hunting' tool, and the first discussion of Locke's theory of
original acquisition in animal rights literature.
The debate about our treatment of nonhuman animals has been
traditionally dominated by moral philosophers, and the crucially
important role of politics has been hitherto neglected. This
innovative edited collection seeks to redress the imbalance by
interrogating some vital questions about this so-called 'political
turn' in animal ethics.. The questions tackled include: What can
political philosophy tell us about our moral obligations to
animals? Should the boundaries of the demos be expanded to allow
for the inclusion of animals? What kind of political system is most
appropriate for the protection of animals? Does the protection of
animals require limits to democracy, as in constitutional devices,
or a usurping of democracy, as in direct action? What can the work
of political scientists tell us about the governance of animal
welfare? Leading scholars in the field explain how engaging with
politics, in its empirical and normative guises, can throw much
needed light on the question of how we treat animals, and how we
ought to treat them.
The Carol J. Adams Reader gathers together Adams's foundational and
recent articles in the fields of critical studies, animal studies,
media studies, vegan studies, ecofeminism and feminism, as well as
relevant interviews and conversations in which Adams identifies key
concepts and new developments in her decades-long work. This
volume, a companion to The Sexual Politics of Meat (Bloomsbury
Revelations), offers insight into a variety of urgent issues for
our contemporary world: Why do batterers harm animals? What is the
relationship between genocide and attitudes toward other animals?
How do activism and theory feed each other? How do race, gender,
and species categories interact in strengthening oppressive
attitudes? In clear language, Adams identifies the often hidden
aspects of cultural presumptions. The essays and conversations
found here capture the decades-long energy and vision that continue
to shape new ways of thinking about and responding to oppression.
Theodore E. White and the Development of Zooarchaeology in North
America illuminates the researcher and his lasting contribution to
a field that has largely ignored him in its history. The few brief
histories of North American zooarchaeology suggest that Paul W.
Parmalee, John E. Guilday, Elizabeth S. Wing, and Stanley J. Olsen
laid the foundation of the field. Only occasionally is Theodore
White (1905-77) included, yet his research is instrumental for
understanding the development of zooarchaeology in North America.
R. Lee Lyman works to fill these gaps in the historical record and
revisits some of White's analytical innovations from a modern
perspective. A comparison of publications shows that not only were
White's zooarchaeological articles first in print in archaeological
venues but that he was also, at least initially, more prolific than
his contemporaries. While the other "founders" of the field were
anthropologists, White was a paleontologist by training who studied
long-extinct animals and their evolutionary histories. In working
with remains of modern mammals, the typical paleontological
research questions were off the table simply because the animals
under study were too recent. And yet White demonstrated clearly
that scholars could infer significant information about human
behaviors and cultures. Lyman presents a biography of Theodore
White as a scientist and a pioneer in the emerging field of modern
anthropological zooarchaeology.
Afternoons with Puppy is a heartwarming account of dynamic
relationships and outcomes involving a therapist, his therapy
animals, and his patients, gathered from almost two decades of
ongoing practice. It is a narrative of Dr. Aubrey H. Fine's
experiences and his growing respect for the power of the animals'
effects on his patients and himself. Fine observes that healing is
rarely, if ever, accomplished in isolation. There is always a
reaching out and a connection at the heart of the therapeutic
enterprise. Afternoons with Puppy reveals the ways in which our
bond with animals centers our being. Interacting with an animal, as
simple as having a puppy in your lap gnawing on your thumb, strips
away the unimportant and provides the neutral, primal ground on
which healing and new growth can take place. Afternoons with Puppy
is an emotional journey that will continue long after the last
page.
Alguna vez se ha preguntado si los animales resucitaran? Esa
pregunta se la hice al Senor luego que perdiera a mi perro Brandon.
Si es amante de los animales y ha llorado la muerte de sus
mascotas, usted se gozara conmigo al descubrir la respuesta que
recibi del Senor. "Y a todo lo creado que esta en el cielo, y sobre
la tierra, y debajo de la tierra, y en el mar, y a todas las cosas
que en ellos hay, oi decir: Al que esta sentado en el Trono, y al
Cordero, sea la Alabanza, la Honra, la Gloria y el Poder, por los
siglos de los siglos." Apocalipsis 5:13 Si los animales no
resucitan, el sacrificio de Cristo en la cruz del calvario seria
incompleto. Cuando entraron al Arca de Noe, entraron bajo la
cubierta del mismo Pacto de Dios para vida hecho con el hombre.
