EARTH, HUMAN, ANIMALS

Laboratory Animals

  • 100 million/year
  • for strategy, beauty, teach, pharmaceutical
  • mental and physical problems ( aggression, depression )
  • common: rat, monkey, dog
  • place in Europe: France, Germany, UK
  • permission needed
  • with anesthesia --> cause pain = false result
  • fate: death, new experiment, alone somewhere

Laboratory Animals

Shocking numbers

2011 in European Union

Shocking numbers

cats: 3713

rabbits: 358 213

horses: 6686

dogs: 17 896

birds: 675 065

sheep: 28 892

pigs: 77 280

monkey: 6095

cattle: 30 914

rodent: 8,5 million

fish: 1 million

Solution

  • replacement: tissue farms, computer modelling, organ donation from dead people
  • cruelty free companies
  • more law
  • have more ethical values

What animals represent

  • cultural differences
  • but some universal symbols
  • cow

RESERVED

Vehicles hitting animals

  • high velocity
  • roads/railroads everywhere
  • animals everywhere
  • animals get hit

Vehicles hitting animals

Solutions

  • fence next to roads - animals can't pass
  • bridges -animals can pass - expensive
  • around motorways

Solutions

Habitat loss

Habitat

  • natural habitat --> unable to support native species
  • organisms --> displaced, destroyed (biodiversity)
  • Human activity: natural resources, urbanization, invasive species
  • climate change: habitat fragmentation

Impacts

  • Carrying capacity --> reduced
  • extinction, populations decline
  • endemic organisms
  • breeding only in modified area
  • 82% of endangered birds
  • Great panda

Human causes

  • land, forest conversion
  • urban sprawl
  • infrastructure development
  • mining
  • logging
  • trawling
  • Global warming
  • Great Barrier Reef
  • Amazon

Solutions

  • general policies would not work
  • considering ecosystem services
  • protecting the remaining
  • educating the public
  • find ecological agricultural ways
  • preserving habitat corridors
  • reducing human population

GENERAL

HOMO SAPIENS SAPIENS

EARTH and its ANIMALS

-biological species: Homo Sapiens

Prehistory

– ancient times: perhaps equal fight – size not big (no natural weapon: venom, teeth etc.) – no weapons

- look in the mirror

- evolution (Charles Darwin, 1859: gradual development over thousands of years)

- invention of tools: bow/arrow – lance: kill from a distance using skills (no extra power / no close contact)

- one of the most successful top predators

today:

- civilised world industrial fishing/hunting

- keep dangerous animals in captivity (as pets: snakes, spiders – entertainment: lions, tigers, sharks in zoos, aquaparks, circuses)

- behaviour: aggressive + greedy and selfish

- most invasive species: all over Earth

- animals usually hide from us – attack if feeling threatened

- weapons: machine guns – giant nets

- poaching: illegal hunting

- luxory items (elephant hunting – ivory – fur trade)

- don’t allow them to grow – kill the able adults – disastrous for the species

- kill our own species too (unique: wars (today: nuclear /mass murders – sometimes eating - taboo: cannibalism)

Humans are dangerous

Humans as destroyers

- population growth – takes away habitats (2050: 9 billion predicted)

- urbanisation – suburbanisation: pests (kártevők)

- industrial revolution: production of plastic, noise and light pollution

- global warming – polar bears can die out soon

- domestication – wild animals not tolerated

- experiments: laboratories (WW2 – Nazi Germany – human experiments)

- killing for fun (trophy hunters) –luxory (too much), delicacy (shark fin soup, whale steak)

- many endangered species – we threaten biodiversity
