Collective Bargaining as a Dispute-Reduction Vehicle Accommodating Contrary Animal Welfare Agendas

摘要

The controversy pitting animal rights activists against animal managers can be summarized in two sentences. Animal rights proponents believe that nature, left to its devices without human intervention, willrnachieve equilibrium among animal species in due course, so that ethical values, not human science, inform and control the debate. Animal managers believe that following a millennia of animal domestication, meat consumption, and species management, no such salutary, "natural" course of events is probable.
