Animal Ethics website and information

[Guest guest]

This is not exclusively Asian but it is so relevant and interesting that I

thought it worth posting. I am sure that AAPN members would have a lot to

contribute to the debates that are now taking place in Oxford. And this

theme along with other religious connections with animal rights and

welfare(including rationalism and atheism) should be a part of the next AfA

conference in my opinion. This is an excellent platform for rational

discussion and debate without malice or rancour.

 

The Oxford Centre of Animal Ethics :

A warm welcome to our website.

 

Our Centre aims to break new ground for the animals.

 

We want to put ethical concern for animals on the intellectual agenda, and

contribute to an enlightened public debate about animals.

 

We believe that the rational case for animals is frequently understated

within academia and misrepresented in the media.

 

Our aim is to create a world-wide association of academics from all

disciplines who want to pioneer ethical perspectives on animals. We intend

to create a new intellectual force – a select Fellowship - composed of

accomplished academics able to make the ethical case for animals.

 

If you are an academic with a record of research or publication in animal

ethics, or someone involved in professional work with animals, we invite you

to ask one of your colleagues to nominate you so that you can be considered

for appointment as a Fellow or an Associate Fellow.

 

Whether you are an academic or not, everyone who shares our vision is

invited to support us by becoming an Associate of the Centre.

 

Our Centre is just beginning. We have many plans and high hopes. Please help

us to realise them by supporting us.
