动物福利与动物保护


哲学家Roger Scruton 反对动物权利,他认为 ‚权利意味着责任‛。
The sacred against today's fashionable forms of atheism. Evolution cannot explain our conception of the sacred; neuroscience is irrelevant to our interpersonal relationships and scientific understanding has nothing to say about the experience of beauty, which provides a God's-eye perspective on reality.
The current environmental movement directs its energies at the bigger picture but fails to see that environmental problems are generated and resolved by ordinary people.

Animal Activism and Intimidation of Scientists
SCIENCE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF DONALD KENNEDY IS ON THE MARK WITH HIS
CALL FOR INSTITUtions to support their scientists and researchers under siege by animal rights terrorists (“Animal activism: out of control,” 15 Sept., p. 1541). As directors of Americans for Medical Progress, we feel that it is equally important to urge the entire scientific community and their supporters to rally publicly for those targeted by extremists. Our scientific brethren in the United Kingdom have been unified and proactive in their successful efforts to moderate the public debate over the humane use of animals in research. Initiatives expressing popular support for animal research, such as Pro-Test and The People’s Petition, have demonstrated that science will not be cowed and have helped scientists to speak out in public. The assault on University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) primate researcher Dario Ringach is an attack on responsible research being conducted everywhere. It is not enough for UCLA administrators, faculty members, and researchers to support him. All scientists and advocates of biomedical research should abandon their silence, speak out, and show public solidarity with our colleagues who are under threat. JOHN D. YOUNG,* RICHARD W. BIANCO, JOHN J. FUNG, ANDREW A. LACKNER Americans for Medical Progress, 908 King Street, Suite 301, Alexandria, VA 22314, USA.

法官 Richard Posner
Posner(2001)指出‚基于道德直觉,人类偏 爱他自己。如果一只狗威胁了一个婴儿,尽 管要制止这条狗伤害婴儿,狗将会受到比婴 儿可能遭受到的痛苦更多。我们将拯救婴儿, 因为狗将会受到比婴儿可能遭受到的痛苦更 多而放过那条狗将是荒谬的。‛

Drawing on Scrutyon’ss own experiences of hunting and offering a delightful portrait of the people and animals who take part in it. Scruton introduces the mysteries of country life. He pleas for tolerance toward a sport in which the love of animals prevails over the pursuit of them, and in which Nature herself is the center of the drama. Among the most dramatic and ironic discoveries that On Hunting tells us that hunting is about a love of and respect for animals, rather than a blood-thirsty hatred of them, and that the sport, far from being limited to an upper-class, oldmonied aristocracy (有钱的贵族), is really one promoting an egalitarian meritocracy (平等的精英).
Animals were not conscious and behaved as automatons.

牛津大学教授Colin Blakemore
科学家担心动物权利主义者从反对使用 大猩猩、黑猩猩作为实验动物开始,逐 步限制使用灵长类实验动物,一步步走 向极端,最终走向全面禁止实验动物研 究(Nature Medicine Editorial. 2008)。 反对赋予非人灵长类权利,他认为当出 现仅威胁人与猩猩的新型流行病时,必 须用猩猩作为实验动物。

is, "your right may be my duty." Scruton therefore regards the emergence of the animal rights movement as "the strangest cultural shift within the liberal worldview", because the idea of rights and responsibilities is, he argues, distinctive to the human condition, and it makes no sense to spread them beyond our own species
