Abstract

Defining where the needs of contracting parties end, and where the mistreatment of animals begins is especially difficult in contract law, where protecting animals is not a basic premise. Thus, although animal law is a widely discussed topic, the position of animals under civil law has not been discussed comprehensively before. The first chapters of the book set the background for subsequent civil law considerations given that the object of a contractual obligation is an animal, and the impact this has on the conclusion, performance and consequences of non-performance of a contract. It constitutes a unique interdisciplinary and comparative work focused mainly on animals in contractual relations (e.g. sale, donation, lease, tenancy, commission, agency, safe-keeping, training contracts).

Abstract

"This volume broadens animal liberation dialogues by offering the arguments, challenges, inspiration and narratives of grassroots activists. The essays show what animal advocacy looks like from a collective of individuals living in and around Minnesota's Twin Cities; the essayists, however, write of issues, both personal and political, that resound on a global scale"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

En los últimos años, entre la opinión pública se ha extendido la idea de que es necesario poner freno a muchas tradiciones y prácticas que implican el sufrimiento animal. Estas reivindicaciones en ocasiones se han hecho demandando un aumento de la regulación y, en otras, defendiendo la abolición de la relación entre los animales humanos y no humanos porque los primeros siempre explotan a los segundos. El término «derechos de los animales» ha comenzado a utilizarse en el discurso social y político, siendo muchas veces discutido por parte de los juristas que entienden que sin agencia y subjetividad moral difícilmente alguien puede ser titular de derechos, sino más bien receptor de determinados deberes. En otros casos, los que han utilizado la expresión derechos de los animales se referían a derechos morales y no a derechos jurídicos, faltando un análisis legal detallado acerca de cómo plasmar esas reivindicaciones morales en normas jurídicas efectivas.El presente volumen pretende colmar en parte esa laguna. Por un lado, se defiende que los animales son miembros de la comunidad moral en tanto que están dotados tanto de moral como estructura como de moral como contenido y son capaces de aprender y obedecer (y desobedecer) determinadas reglas. A partir de ahí, se entiende que son las comunidades políticas las que reconocen derechos jurídicos a sus miembros y, en este sentido, no todos los animales pertenecen a las mismas comunidades políticas, como Sue Donaldson y Will Kymlicka explicaron con detalle en Zoopolis (2011). Este libro repasa los derechos de ciudadanía que tendrían que tener reconocidos los animales que forman parte de nuestras comunidades políticas, derechos que no solo son de libertad, sino que alcanzan también a los derechos sociales y los derechos políticos, analizando cuestiones como la ganadería industrial, la alimentación o el uso de pieles. Tomarse en serio los derechos de los animales significa otorgarles la condición de ciudadanos con iguales derechos que los que los ciudadanos humanos ya disfrutamos.

Abstract

Alasdair Cochrane provides an entirely new theory of animal rights grounded in their interests as sentient beings. He applies this theory to a whole range of different and under-explored policy areas, such as genetic engineering, pet-keeping, indigenous hunting, and religious slaughter. In contrast to other proponents of animal rights, Cochrane claims that the possession of rights by animals does not mean animals must never be owned or used by human beings. He claims that because most sentient animals are not autonomous agents, they have no intrinsic interest in liberty. As such, his book

Abstract

Die ökologischen und ökonomischen Risiken, die sich aus der in Deutschland üblichen Schalenwildbewirtschaftung für Waldökosysteme ergeben, werden allgemein unterschätzt. Die vor allem durch Wildverbiss verursachten Schäden verringern die Schutzwirkung von Wäldern und beeinträchtigen den vor dem Hintergrund des Klimawandels notwendigen Waldumbau. Die gesetzlichen Grundlagen für eine Verbesserung der Situation sind größtenteils bereits vorhanden, in einigen entscheidenden Punkten jedoch verbesserungsbedürftig. Es fehlt aber an deren Umsetzung. Es werden Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, die Probleme zwischen der forstlichen Haupt- und der jagdlichen Nebennutzung zu lösen oder zumindest zu entschärfen. Das in dem Band diskutierte Instrumentarium reicht von der Stärkung des Verantwortungsbewusstseins aller Akteure bis hin zu denkbaren Sanktionen bei gleichbleibenden Verbissschäden.

Abstract

"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 v., 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."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

Tierschutz- und Tierrechtsfragen haben mittlerweile die Lehrpl̃ne, Tagesordnungen und Schwerpunktsetzungen der unterschiedlichsten Bildungseinrichtungen und -initiativen erreicht. Deren Akteur*innen stehen vor der Herausforderung, die Relevanz von Tierethik und Tierrechten nicht nur der Sache nach darzulegen, sondern auch deren Vermittlung zu konzeptualisieren: Wie k̲nnen tierschutz- und tierrechtsbezogene Bildungsprozesse gestaltet werden? Die Beitr̃ger*innen des Bandes diskutieren dazu bildungstheoretische Grundlinien ihrer jeweiligen F̃cher f|r ein Lernen, das konsequent spezies|bergreifend gedacht ist und also von einem Standpunkt des Menschen "Inter-Spezies" ausgeht.
