Borkowski will serve as the new CEO of AAALAC International, a nonprofit that promotes the humanetreatment of animals in science through voluntary accreditation and assessment programs. Starting in October, Dr. Gary L.
His arguments are not based on humanetreatment of the animals, but whether these studies are even properly conducted. The writer of this Guardian article supports animal research, but admits there are many problems with the research itself. I ask if these studies are not properly conducted, then why do them in the first place?
I'm sure we could do a much better job of ensuring the humanetreatment of our laboratory animals--but at this point it's very difficult even to start the discussion. At least he admits that a better job of humanetreatment could be done and that there should be a discussion about it. It's the last line that grabs me.
Achieving humanetreatment of animals is inconceivable with our big, popular universities teaching the opposite! Thank you for making it possible to represent the animals' -- including the human animal's -- interests!
A state law mandating "humanetreatment" of downed livestock headed for the slaughterhouse was unanimously overturned Monday by the Supreme Court. Clearly a win for the damn livestock industry. It was a question of federal vs. state authority. And it was a unanimous decision. Read the full story at CNN.
“California voters have taken a stand for decency and compassion and said that the systemic mistreatment of animals on factory farms cannot continue," said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States, the primary back of the YES! All animals deserve humanetreatment, including animals raised for food.”
The need for such guidelines was felt acutely when the National Bioethics Committee (NBC) of the National Science Foundation realized in 2003 that there was no legislation or nationally applicable codes of practice to ensure the humanetreatment of animals used in research, states well-known animal lover, Dr. Malik Fernando in his ‘Background’ note.
Meanwhile, Feldstein's voice, as one would expect, is one that speaks of "humane" treatment and advocates for reform. Ernst believes we don't have a right to use sentient nonhumans and all of her posts (and those of Alex Melonas, who also posts at animalrights.change.org) are unequivocal about animal use.
Humanetreatment runs counter to the entire industry when the point is to make money by processing these animals as fast as possible. No wonder there is so much "farm" animal abuse out there. The only cool thing is that Gene Bauer's views on the meat industry are so similar to those expressed on this blog a few weeks ago.

Formed in 2007, this organization seeks to promote the humanetreatment of animals by promoting effective animal sanctuary management. Led by professionals who have experience with organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States, the group is definitely not new to the issues surrounding animals worldwide.
I'm sure we could do a much better job of ensuring the humanetreatment of our laboratory animals--but at this point it's very difficult even to start the discussion. It "guarantees humanetreatment?" But there is a significant contingent who is not as enamored with the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act as he is.
Because the Agriculture Department enforces the Animal Welfare Act, this authorizing bill deals with a broad range of subjects regarding the humanetreatment of animals. The bill contains sweeping new penalties against animal fighting, included after the Michael Vick case revealed the pervasiveness of this crime.
The United Methodist Church supports the humanetreatment of farm animals and calls for the protection of endangered species. The Catholic Church is not alone among major religions on this issue. The Episcopal Church embraces a resolution that specifically addresses puppy mills and factory farms.
Common-sense, rational reforms reflect the emerging consensus of mainstream animal protection groups like the Humane Society of the United States and millions of Americans who care about animals.
Once one bears in mind that it is this comparative assessment that is required, then it seems to me there will be a strong case (1) for Humane Slaughter, and humanetreatment prior to slaughter, and (2) insofar as really painless and comfortable animal-raising is not attained or attainable, giving vegetarianism a try, at least.
We pay lip service to more humanetreatment of the animals that we eat, but how many of us look beyond the label on the package of chicken cutlets? If people had to see what these animals are subjected to or take an active role in their deaths, I believe many more people would think before they eat.
I have argued that there is no incompatibility between being a nonvegetarian and advocating the painless and humanetreatment of animals. Consequently, there is no logical connection between being a nonvegetarian and the cruel treatment of animals, let alone the cruel treatment of persons (human or otherwise).
On the whole, since we mean by a right something that can be justly claimed, we should probably say that animals have not rights, not because the claim to humanetreatment would not be just if it were made, but because they cannot make it. It is not at all clear which is the true view.
In any case, which various political strategies would be most efficient for achieving humanetreatment of animals is an empirical question. That these organizations have not gone far enough and that wide areas of animal cruelty still exist does not show that their methods are wrong.
The Obama-Biden ticket is the better choice on animal protection, and we urge all voters who care about the humanetreatment of animals, no matter what their party affiliation, to vote for them. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has been a solid supporter of animal protection at both the state and federal levels.
