美国农场动物关怀的理论与实践

Theory and Practice of Farm Animal Care in the United States

以动物机器观为指导的集约化养殖模式不仅导致了大量的动物虐待,而且严重威胁着人类与环境的健康。面对这种集约化养殖模式引发的畜牧伦理危机,美国发展出了一种以关系为视角的农场动物关怀伦理,为我们妥善解决集约化养殖模式下人类、动物与环境之间的关系,提供了一个具有包容性、多元化的新视角。目前,农场动物关怀已经被运用于美国畜牧业,为美国集约化养殖模式的可持续发展做出了重要贡献。

The intensive farming model based on the concept of animal machinery has not only led to a large number of animal abuses,but also seriously threatened the health of human beings and the environment.Faced with the ethical crisis of livestock husbandry caused by this intensive farming mode,the United States has developed an ethics of caring farm animals from the perspective of relationship,which provides an inclusive and diversified new perspective for us to properly solve the relationship between human beings,animals and the environment under the intensive farming mode.At present,the theory of farm animal care has been applied to the practice of American animal husbandry,which has made an important contribution to the sustainable development of the American intensive farming model.
