Animal Citizenship
Résumé
For as long as humans have been on the planet, their interactions with animals have been based on a continuous relationship – sometimes characterised by conflict, but sometimes by mutual benefit. Whilst the predominant relationship between humans and animals is one of exploitation, with humans using animals for their own benefit, animals have also been the subject of numerous symbolic relationships. For centuries, religions and scientific knowledge have minimised animals’ identity. The advent of animal ethics, and the contributions of ethology, law and animal welfare activism, have profoundly altered the relationship between humans and animals. It is now recognised that humans and animals share the same fate, menaced in equal measure by the threat of ecological breakdown. In this light, it is important to examine the political status of animals.
