Book Review Of "Animal Rights And Human Morality", Harlan S. Miller Jan 1982

Book Review Of "Animal Rights And Human Morality", Harlan S. Miller

International Journal for the Study of Animal Problems

Harlan Miller comments in his review that almost all readers of this journal will probably find something in Rollin’s book with which they would disagree, but he also judges the book as “a first-rate piece of work” and urges people to buy it and read it.


Book Review Of "The Question Of Animal Awareness" And "Animals Are Equal", W. C. Mcgrew Jan 1982

Book Review Of "The Question Of Animal Awareness" And "Animals Are Equal", W. C. Mcgrew

International Journal for the Study of Animal Problems

McGrew reviews two books addressing what lies behind the behavior of nonhuman species. Griffin's book caused considerable discussion when it first appeared five years earlier. The book has become the cornerstone of a new discipline – cognitive ethology. Three new chapters (on mental experiences, semantics, and evolutionary continuity) have been added to the original eight in the first edition. Almost a third of the cited studies have appeared since the first edition's publication, illustrating the unexpected richness of the new findings. Griffin emphasizes that animal communication is the richest source of material, leading to inferences about animal minds. Griffin is …

The Slippery Semantics Of A Word: "Dominion", M. W. Fox Jan 1982

The Slippery Semantics Of A Word: "Dominion", M. W. Fox

International Journal for the Study of Animal Problems

The word "dominion," which is often interpreted as equivalent to "domination," is defined in Webster's dictionary as primarily indicating "sovereignty. Roget's International Thesaurus interprets dominion as "realm, domain or jurisdiction" and therefore makes "dominion," "domination," "sovereignty," and "supremacy" synonymous. Thus, the passage in Genesis 1:26 that proclaims that man has "dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth," can be interpreted as meaning that he has been granted sovereignty, jurisdiction, or domination. The passage does not …


Unnecessary Suffering: Definition And Evidence, Frank Hurnik, Hugh Lehman Jan 1982

Unnecessary Suffering: Definition And Evidence, Frank Hurnik, Hugh Lehman

Attitudes Towards Animals Collection

Although it is possible to formulate stronger moral principles than "animals should not be made to suffer unnecessarily," there are significant grounds for doubting these stronger principles. But the principle that underlies the dictum regarding unnecessary suffering is generally recognized as valid, since denial of it implies that we can do whatever we want with animals, a conclusion that is usually considered unacceptable. A determination of whether any particular instance of suffering is necessary or unnecessary must be based on an analysis of both the seriousness of the purpose of the act that involves pain in animals, and its relative …
