(Quote from my Environmental Ethics teacher) sounds like a completely worthless set of credits 1 - pets are your property and we are free to do as we want. and that's how it should be. pets are NOT kids, no matter what goofy city people think of their precious Woofers and Kitty Kat. 2 - if this teacher is going down this route, then the rest of his course is likely a waste. Environmental ethics should be about responsible USE of the environment and would be a good topic - this single example shows a high likelihood that's not the focus of the class at all, but rather a more radical political (i.e., pointless) focus. ...

Andy9o8 2 #7 April 19, 2011 QuoteCalling yourself a pet 'owner' means that your pet is your property and you are free to do whatever you want to it. According to the laws of most countries, including your own, pets are property, and their owners can do pretty much whatever they want with them - within reason; i.e., subject to, for example, laws against animal cruelty, dog-fighting, etc. But they can be bought and sold, and a person can be subject to criminal and civil penalty for theft or damage to an owned animal, just like any other form of property. QuoteYou don't say you 'own' your children, do you? (Quote from my Environmental Ethics teacher) You keep posting reasons to make me want to bitch-slap your Environmental Ethics teacher. Part of this "learning how to think" stuff you're currently learning as a college student is to analyze the opinions of others with a critical eye. That goes not only for the various authors whose viewpoints you are tasked to "compare and contrast", but also your own professors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
