10. Welfare and You  Motivations to improve the welfare of animals may stem from many factors including sympathy, empathy, utility, genes (inherited traits), and memes (cultural factors) Motivations can be based on self-interest  Laws punishing cruelty to animals tend to not just be based on welfare concerns but the belief that such behavior has repercussions toward the treatment of other humans by the animal abusers Laws punishing cruelty to animals

23. Zoo Collection of Unhappy Animals? Zoos claim to help with conservation

24. Animal ethics  (DUTCH) Animal Health and Welfare Act referred to it in 1981: "Acknowledgment of the intrinsic value of animals means that animals have value in their own right and as a consequence their interests are no longer automatically subordinate to man's interests."

25. Animal ethnics  intrinsic value of an animal refers to the value it possesses in its own right, as an end- in-itself, as opposed to its Instrumental value, its value to other animals (including human being)  a good-of-their-own, and an interest in their own well-being ( in relation to the moral status of animals)

26. Anthropocentrism  describes the tendency for human beings to regard themselves as the central and most significant entities in the universe, or the assessment of reality through an exclusively human perspective  Humanocentrism = human sepremacy

27. Intrinsic values  Behaviorism  Utilitarian  deontology

28. Behaviorism  a philosophy of psychology based on the proposition that all things that organisms do—including acting, thinking and feeling— can and should be regarded as behaviours  that psychological disorders are best treated by altering behaviour patterns or modifying the environment

29. Elephants in the wild for instance, are used to traveling many miles a day in herds of about ten related adults and their offspring. They are very social animals. In zoos, elephants are usually kept in pairs or even isolated. Their enclosures are incredibly small, compared to what they are used to in the wild. Elephants often show many signs of being stressed out or bored, like engaging in repetitive movements.

31. Utilitarian  maximizes the overall "good“ ( Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill) ‘’to achieve the greater good for the greater number of people’’ (1) to maximize the total happiness of all living beings; (2) place stringent side constraints on what one may do to human beings. Human beings may not be used or sacrificed for the benefit of others; animals may be used or sacrificed for the benefit of other people or animals only if those benefits are greater than the loss inflicted  it is depending on your motive and moral guideline

32. Deontology  Obligation and mission  Animal right

33. Animal Right  Animal rights, also known as animal liberation, is the idea that the most basic interests of non-human animals should be afforded the same consideration as the similar interests of human beings  means entails the right to be treated with respect, which includes the right not to be harmed (Regan)  minimize overriding

34. Animal Right -- Abolitionism  ”animal welfare reform not only fails to challenge animal suffering, but may prolong it by making the exercise of property rights over animals appear acceptable”  The abolitionists' objective is to secure a moral and legal paradigm shift, whereby animals are no longer regarded as things to be owned and used  whereby animals may be used as food, clothing, entertainment and in experiments so long as their suffering is regulated

35. Animal Right -- protectionism  favours incremental change in pursuit of non-human animal interests.  It is contrasted with abolitionism, the position that human beings have no moral right to use animals, and ought to have no legal right, no matter how the animals are treated.

36. Animal right--Nonhuman  Nonhuman actor  Its use marks a shift in how the role of humans is perceived and discussed. Rather than traditional perceptions of humankind as a superior species  to highlight that humans co-exist with other living species and are embedded within complex systems that support their survival on Earth

39. Animal right-- speciesism  the assigning of different values or rights to beings on the basis of their species membership  Speciesism is discrimination, and like all discrimination it overlooks or underestimates the similarities between the discriminator and those discriminated against  that it is irrational or morally wrong to regard sentient beings as objects or property

42. Conclusion  "although the interests of animals often conflict with the demands of society, society remains responsible for the welfare of the animals involved. Considerations regarding animal welfare ought to be based on veterinary, scientific and ethological norms, but not on sentiment. And although animals do not have fundamental rights, human beings have certain moral obligations towards them."
