Abstract

Gary L. Francione is a law professor and leading philosopher of animal-rights theory. Robert Garner is a political theorist specializing in the philosophy and politics of animal protection. Francione maintains that we have no moral justification for using nonhumans, arguing that because animals are property-economic commodities-laws or industry practices requiring ""humane"" treatment will, as a general matter, fail to provide any meaningful level of protection. Garner favors a version of animal rights that focuses on eliminating animal suffering and adopts a protectionist approach, ma

Abstract

"This is the first book on captive animal behaviour and how this applies to welfare. The book enables all aspects of zoo husbandry and management (nutrition, enclosure design, handling and training, enrichment, population management) to be based on a sound knowledge of the species, its evolutionary and natural history. Chapters from expert authors cover a vast range of taxa, from primates and elephants to marine mammals and freshwater fish, to reptiles, birds and invertebrates. It explains how evidence from the wild can be implemented into captive care to support the wider aims of the zoo (conservation, education, research and recreation)"--

Abstract

Crimes Against Nature provides a systematic account and analysis of the key concerns of green criminology, written by one of the leading authorities in the field. The book draws upon the disciplines of environmental studies, environmental sociology and environmental management as well as criminology and socio-legal studies, and draws upon a wide range of examples of crimes against the environment — ranging from toxic waste, logging, wildlife smuggling, bio-piracy, the use and transport of ozone depleting substances through to illegal logging and fishing, water pollution and animal abuse. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1 sets out theoretical approaches and perspectives on the subject; Part 2 explores the (national and international) dimensions of environmental crime and the explanations for it; Part 3 deals with the range of responses to environmental crime - environmental law enforcement, regulation, environmental crime prevention and the role of global institutions and movements.

Abstract

[2013] Publié en 1998, cet ouvrage de référence analyse comment, des présocratiques à Derrida, les diverses traditions de la métaphysique occidentale ont abordé l'énigme de l'animalité : une autre histoire de la philosophie, mais tout sauf une thèse... A cette époque, les animaux n'existaient à peu près pas dans la pensée française. Depuis, se multiplient les analyses et les méditations sur la détresse qui leur est infligée, sur leur statut d'êtres sensibles, sur leur subjectivité, sur leur existence nue de vivants muets, sur leur capacité à communiquer et à symboliser, sur leur droit à avoir accès à des droits. On doit pouvoir déconstruire l'arrogance du propre de l'homme sans pour autant offenser le genre humain.
