Laboralidade Animal: implicações ético-jurídicas / Working animals: Ethical and legal implications / Trabajo animal: Implicaciones ético-jurídicas / Treball animal: Implicacions ètiques i jurídiques

A precarização da vida animal no âmbito do Mundo do Trabalho costuma ser encarada como dissociada das relações juridicamente relevantes para a conformação do arsenal de proteção de Direitos Fundamentais. A partir da ressignificação dos espaços de laboralidade, analisei as relações estabelecidas entre animalidade e humanidade. Desta forma, supus a existência de espaços de intersecção entre o Direito Animal, a Bioética Animal e o Direito do Trabalho. Concluí pela necessidade de reflexão sobre os pontos de encontro da juridicização de interesses animais e questões relativas ao Direito do Trabalho uma vez que há um déficit de teorização sobre as interconexões dos objetos de proteção das normas jurídicas destes campos específicos

The precariousness of animal life in the world of work is often seen as dissociated from legally relevant relationships for the formation of the arsenal of protection of fundamental rights. From the re-signification of the spaces of work, I analysed the relations established between animality and humanity. In this way, I assumed the existence of spaces of intersection between Animal Law, Animal Bioethics and Labour Law. I concluded that is necessary to reflect on the intersection of the juridicization of animal interests and issues related to Labour Law since there is a lack of theorization about the interconnections of the objects of protection of the legal norms of these specific fields

La precarització de la vida animal en l'àmbit del món del treball sol dissociar-se de les relacions jurídicament rellevants per a la conformació de l'arsenal de protecció de drets fonamentals. A partir de la resignificació dels espais de treball, en aquest article analitzo les relacions establertes entre animalitat i humanitat. En aquesta línia, hom suposa l'existència d'espais d'intersecció entre el Dret Animal, la Bioètica Animal i el Dret del Treball. Se’n conclou la necessitat de reflexionar sobre la intersecció entre la legalització dels interessos animals i qüestions relatives al Dret del Treball, ja que hi ha un dèficit de teorització al voltant de les interconnexions entre els objectes de protecció de les normes jurídiques en aquests camps específics

Una teoría del derecho para los animales no humanos. Aportes para la perspectiva interna del Derecho / A legal theory for non-human animals. Contributions from an internal legal perspective / Una teoria del dret per als animals no humans. Aportacions per a la perspectiva interna del Dret

En ética animal existe un fenómeno que algunos autores han llamado extensionalismo. Se trata de la extensión de las teorías éticas al caso de los animales no humanos (ANH). En este trabajo se intentará también una extensión de una teoría del derecho a los ANH. Partiré de la distinción entre aspecto interno y externo del derecho (Hart) y luego seguiré las ideas de Nino sobre la fundamentación de los derechos (humanos). Abordaré primero las diferencias entre ambos aspectos, defenderé la importancia del interno para la cuestión de los ANH y, en la segunda sección, trataré conceptos de la teoría de Nino útiles para este caso. Finalmente, presentaré algunas críticas a la aplicación del lenguaje de los derechos a los demás animales provenientes de quienes rechazan el especismo

In animal ethics there is a phenomenon called extensionalism which is the extension of ethical theories to the non-human animal (NHA) case. In this paper I present an extension of a legal theory to NHA too. I will use the distinction between internal and external aspects of the law that Hart established. Then, I will follow some Nino legal concepts useful for this case. I will highlight the importance of the internal perspective for the NHA problem and, in the second section, will address some concepts from Nino theory of law. Finally, I will consider some critics to the language of rights that come from an anti-speciesist approach

En aquest treball s'intentarà també una extensió d'una teoria del dret als ANH. Hom parteix de la distinció entre aspecte intern i extern del dret (Hart) continuant amb les idees de Nino sobre la fonamentació dels drets (humans). Abordaré primer les diferències entre tots dos aspectes, defensaré la importància de laspecte intern per a la qüestió dels ANH i, en la segona secció, tractaré conceptes de la teoria de Nino que són d’utilitat en aquest cas. Finalment, presentaré algunes crítiques a l'aplicació del llenguatge dels drets als altres animals provinents dels qui rebutgen l'especisme

Evolution of animal-welfare education for veterinary students.

Animal-welfare education is an evolving component of the veterinary curriculum. Although different veterinary schools may cover different elements of the subject and teach it in many different ways, it is important to recognize that this multidisciplinary subject is evolving rapidly. For example, welfare science is beginning to examine the quantification of positive welfare or a good life in addition to evaluating harms associated with different husbandry systems. Although the curriculum is under continual pressure, the drivers (policy makers, student expectations, and trade requirements) for including animal welfare in the course are likely to increase. Some core components of an animal-welfare course are important to include in all veterinary curriculums. This would include an appreciation of the difference between welfare science, ethics, and standards.

[The ethics of animal welfare and the ethics of animal protection]. / Tierschutzethik und ethischer Tierschutz.

An argumentational analysis of the German legislation for animal welfare suggests that the concept "Ethischer Tierschutz", declared as a state objective in 2002, allows the legislative body greater scope than that utilized so far. The legislator would, in principle, be able to regulate some problem areas which have been repeatedly addressed by the public as well as the ethics. A comparison with Switzerland and the EU-member Austria shows that both countries' animal welfare legislations already reach beyond a strictly suffering-based protection framework by employing additional anthropocentric arguments. The concept "Ethischer Tierschutz" would make this approach likewise feasible in Germany.

Regulatory issues surrounding the use of companion animals in clinical investigations, trials, and studies.

Laboratory animal veterinarians sometimes encounter animals with rare conditions and may subsequently become involved in the performance of related animal research outside the laboratory, in homes, in veterinary clinics, or in universities to which owners have donated their animals for study. Similarly, veterinarians may monitor animal companion vaccination studies, performed to optimize preventive health care or minimize physiological variability and research confounders associated with a preventive medicine program for dogs and cats utilized for research procedures. These nontraditional uses of dogs, cats, and other companion animals in research have spurred the establishment of regulations to ensure that the animals benefit from clinical veterinary products and techniques. Included and described are the 2002 Public Health Service Policy, the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and the regulations of the US Department of Agriculture in response to the AWA. The complexities of clinical research with companion animals outside standard biomedical research facilities are discussed.
