Ethics of a killer whale / Finn Lynge.
Title: | Ethics of a killer whale / Finn Lynge. |
Author(s): | Lynge, Finn. |
Date: | 1992. |
Publisher: | Reykjavík: University of Iceland |
In: | Whales and Ethics. (1992.), |
Abstract: | Speaker sets out Christian and other traditional beliefs on stewardship of natural world, with modern human rights developments, and discusses human duties and "animal rights", whose existence he denies. He considers views of some that whales, at least, need special respect, and compares attitude with those towards horses, cows or dogs in cultures other than proselytising Anglo-Saxon one. In many cases respect for animal co-exists with killing it. He points out that several other sea mammals are at least as intelligent and attractive as whales. Finally he describes amoral "cruel" ways in which killer whales kill. |
