“…Most of the pressure is external-Western societies consider eating cat and dog meat a 'backward' or 'archaic' cultural practice (Oh and Jackson 2011: 32). In response to public concern, Taiwan, the Philippines and Hong Kong have created new regulations prohibiting the slaughter of dogs and cats for meat (Kim 2008). A powerful motivator is fear that such traditions discourage Westerners from visiting.…”

Uses of animals in tourism range widely, including their consumption as food. This paper explores the use of animals as food in tourism, drawing on the work of ecofeminist theorists for insights into the issue. It begins by identifying some core tenets of ecofeminist philosophy. It then demonstrates its relevance to the tourism context -specifically to the use of animals as food in tourism -by discussing several examples from the industry and drawing on existing theoretical applications of ecofeminism to animal food production and consumption. The overarching aim of this paper is to encourage the incorporation of this rich and textured theory into tourism discourse to help us reflect on what we currently consider to be acceptable behaviour.

“…Dogs have served as guides for the blinds. In certain cultures, dogs are raised and slaughtered as a source of meat; dogs are popular as pets and companion (Kim, 2008;Murray, 2007 andDog meat Wikipedia, 2010.). On the other hand, dogs have been a source of danger to humans through their bites, and as transmitters of zoonotic diseases like rabies, toxoplasmosis, echinococcosis, trypanosomiasis, filariasis, spirocerosis, hydatidosis, larva migrans and other diseases (WHO, 1959;Oduyemi and Olayemi, 1977;Hill et al, 1985).…”

Parasitological investigation of dogs disposed off in non-descript abattoirs was carried out in two communities (Basawa and Angwagodo) in Zaria. Intestines from seventy (70) adult dogs were collected, and standard procedures were followed to determine their parasite loads. A total of sixty-three dogs (90.00%) were positive for different species of helminthes. The helminthes recovered were Dipylidium caninum, Taenia spp, Ancylostoma caninum and Toxocara canis. D. caninum was present in thirty five dogs (50.00%), Taenia spp in twenty dogs (28.57%). Ancylostoma caninum in twenty five dogs (35.71%) and Toxocara canis in four dogs (5.71%). There were no statistically significant associations between the location of study and frequency of recovery of each helminthes (P>0.05). Toxocara canis was only detected at Angwagodo. The mean worm load by location was higher at Angwagodo (24.59+55.03) than Basawa (8.66+9.44). The sex of the dog had no significant effect on the recovery of each helminthes (P>0.05). However, female dogs had a higher worm load (22.14+57.41) than the male dogs (12.12+18.44). The result of this study suggests that about 90% of the dog population in Zaria may be contributing to the contamination of the environment with eggs of zoonotic helminthes.

How Do Human-Animal Emotional Relationships Influence Public Perceptions of Animal Use?

Human-animal emotional relationships have a complicated interplay with public perceptions of the morality of animal use. Humans may build emotional relationships with companion species. These species are not usually intensively farmed in the United Kingdom, but they may be utilized during animal experimentation. From a relational ethical standpoint, the public may therefore perceive animal experimentation as being less acceptable than intensive farming. This study aimed to determine whether human-animal emotional relationships affect public attitudes regarding use of animals in intensive farming and research. Responding to an online questionnaire, British citizens (N = 85) rated their agreement with 20 statements relating to their acceptance of intensive farming and animal experimentation, scientific research involving a given species (e.g., an animal which either is or is not typically associated with the companion context), killing free-living animals, and consuming animals existing within companion and farming contexts. Positive correlations were found between public acceptance of intensive farming and animal experimentation, such that acceptance of animal experimentation corresponded with acceptance of intensive farming practices. This finding disproved our theory that the British public may perceive animal experimentation as less acceptable than intensive farming due to the use of companion species in scientific research. Public acceptance of animal experimentation also did not significantly differ between that involving companion or noncompanion species. However, respondents were more accepting of the consumption of a typical farmed animal raised for meat purposes than consuming an animal if it had been raised in a companion context or consuming a typical companion species raised in either a farmed or companion context. These findings illustrate that the human-animal relationship can influence (but only to a degree) public perceptions of the morality of animal use.
