Pbworks Upload Guidelines

 Use the table below to upload your link/title, name, and a short paragraph explaining why you chose the article/video you selected, and how it relates to the class reading or discussion.

 

To sign in, register your email (if I haven't already done so) and wait for a response, then go from "view" to "edit" above and fill in the relevant info in the boxes below. If you are going to require more than a few minutes to upload your comments, please draft your comments in a word processing program and paste them here, as only one person at a time can be editing a page. Also be sure to click on the "add link" button (above right) to hotlink your selected url. Once you are done, click on the "Save" button on the bottom left. Be sure to save your work when you are done, otherwise you will stay logged in and someone else will probably steal your lock. I will go over the mechanics for doing this in class -- if you are having difficulty uploading anything, just send me your link and comments, and I'll do it for you (but I would prefer that you figure it out eventually...).

 

I also would strongly prefer that you get your uploads in by the evening (i.e., not the middle of the night) before they are due, so I can have a chance to read them and integrate them into our discussion the next day.

 This article examines the potential justifications for hunting as a social behavior, but debunks all of them as justifiable ethics, instead vouching for an approach based on Leopold's utilitarian ethics criteria.  The paper addresses important economic points, such as the fact that wildlife management is, to some extent, dependent upon the financial contributions of the hunting community.  The key argument is that hunting for sport must be removed from a utilitarian society in order to be compatible with the other socially acceptable reasons for hunting that are given in this paper.

 I found this article on the website for the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation, entitled simply Why We Hunt. It was written by Dr. Randall L. Eaton, who described hunting as an inherited instinct that connects us to nature on a spiritual level, and claims that hunting and fishing connects us most profoundly with animals and nature. His viewpoint is one of the "holy hunter" described by Marti Kheel in The Killing Game: An Ecofeminist Critique. Kheel's work also mentions that early hunters saw hunting as a necessary corrective for men who had become overly feminized by the encroaches of civilization, and this sentiment is reflected in Eaton's article when he says "hunting is a basic aspect of a boy's initiation into manhood". Later in the article he does mention that hunting is good for girls and boys alike, but overall the article does seem to be more directed toward males.

This article examines the bushmeat trade in America, by way of a woman being tried in court for selling and distributing bushmeat. As Dale Peterson attests, “bushmeat is now a big business” with a strong commercial component. The trial represents a clash of many viewpoints: conservationists see the bushmeat trade as a threat to wildlife populations, epidemiologists view the trade as a threat to public health, some hunters consider bushmeat to be a vital form of economic subsistence, and Ms. Manneh- the woman selling the meat- as well as her supporters see bushmeat as “spiritual sustenance” and a cultural comfort. I chose this article because I believe bush meat to be a very interesting and controversial subject. Looking at bush meat hunters from Marti Kheel’s perspective, they would rarely be considered “happy hunters”- as they do not hunt for sport, nor “holist hunters”- as they certainly don’t help with population control and sustainability. They are rarely even considered “holy hunters,” though there can be spirituality involved in some byproducts of bush meat (such as those with ‘curing’ powers). Although the bush meat trade is supposedly “growing exponentially” due to immigration in the US, hopefully this court case will set a precedent to increase awareness and support for the laws and controls that are currently in place.

 This article takes an interesting perspective on hunting. In Wisconsin, legislators are planning to propose a bill that will encourage more people to begin hunting.  The bill includes lowering the age limit to use a gun to hunt deer from 13 to only 10 years old.  The motivation behind this bill is the economy. Hunters and other outdoorsmen are seen to be on the decline and lawmakers feel that reigniting a spark for these activities will stimulate the economy through licensing fees, equipment purchases, permits, and other things. It is interesting to see how something like a failing economy can be intertwined with a controversial subject like hunting. Despite many people will criticize this bill, Wisconsin legislators obviously see hunting as a benefit to society other than an evil, as many animal rights supporters do.

 

Also, the second is just one of many websites about "canned" hunting and trophy hunting. This is a topic I did a lot of research on a few years ago for a project for a local zoo. It's very interesting and is a huge animal rights issue. It mostly takes place in southern Africa, so it is difficult to make much progress with it.

 I chose this article because it deals with what might have been the first case in New York of prosecution for bushmeat smuggling.  The article mentions the associated health risks that Peterson brought up (and articles about health risks also constituted the vast majority of what came up when I was looking for information on bushmeat), but this article is from a news blog about religion, which I was hoping would offer a somewhat different perspective.  What I found particularly interesting was that the woman's lawyer is arguing her right to the bushmeat on religious grounds.  He compares it to a 2006 ruling that allowed a small Brazilian community to use a Schedule 1 drug for religious purposes.  This case is from 2007 and it appears they gave the woman probation.

 the Berryman Institute publishes a journal twice each year concerning animal human conflict, defined as "when humans or wildlife are having an adverse impact upon the other." They encourage interaction with their readers through opinion pieces and letters to editor. They also hold seminars and training programs on outreach and education. They encourage respect coexisting with wildlife neighbors.
