The rights and interests of animals from an ethical perspective: Peter Singer's utilitarian approach. Created with Haiku Deck, presentation software that's simple, beautiful and fun.
This document provides ethical guidelines for the care and use of animals in health research in Nepal. It was created by the Nepal Health Research Council to ensure animals are treated humanely and research follows international standards. The guidelines cover responsible conduct of research, housing and care of animals, acquiring and transporting animals, research procedures, field research, educational use of animals, record keeping, and oversight by an ethical review board. The goal is to promote the welfare of animals used in research while advancing scientific knowledge.
The document discusses animal ethics and care in biomedical research. It covers:
1. The importance of animal models in biomedical research due to their biological similarities to humans.
2. A brief history of animal ethics regulations globally and in India, including the establishment of organizations like CPCSEA to oversee animal experimentation.
3. Guidelines from CPCSEA on proper veterinary care, procurement, quarantine, and disease control for animals used in research.
This document discusses various aspects of animal cruelty including inflicting harm or suffering on animals for purposes other than self-defense such as animal testing, factory farming, the fur trade, hunting, and entertainment. It notes that millions of animals, especially rats, mice, dogs and cats are used in laboratory experiments each year which causes them suffering and death. The document also describes how over 50,000 dogs were killed in China to prevent rabies after a few human deaths from the disease and discusses the ethical issues around such actions.
Today there exists a wide spectrum of views on this subject, ranging from those concerned with animal 'rights' to those who view animals only as a resource to be exploited.
All of thThe five freedoms were originally developed from a UK Government report on livestock husbandry in 1965 (Prof.Roger Brambell) then by Farm Animal Welfare Council (FAWC) In July 1979
Freedom from hunger or thirst by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour .
Freedom from discomfort by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area .
Freedom from pain, injury or disease by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.
Freedom to express (most) normal behaviour by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal's own kind.
Freedom from fear and distress by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.
Political theology has been part of Christianity (and religion) for thousands of years. What is it? When did the Great Separation occur? Should Christianity stay clear of political theology?

What's a good definition for the Real? Philosophers and others have come up with many definitions to try to explain what lies under the surface of appearances--what is really real in a shifting world.
Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, delivered as lectures to his students at his Lyceum over 2,000 years ago, provide a profound examination of human nature and the ends to which our conduct should be directed. Virtue is at the heart of his practical view of happiness (eudaimonia) as the point of life.
