“…Furthermore, scholars are paying special attention to what Deleuze (1992Deleuze ( [1968) would call 'sad' or 'bad' encounters: encounters with other bodies, which damage one's physical or mental constitution. Work with 'awkward creatures', such as slugs (Ginn, 2014), with 'uncharismatic invasives', such as marine invertebrates (Clark, 2015), introduced 'ferals', such as cane toads (Simpson, 2014) and cats (Hillier and Byrne, 2016;Marks, 2013Marks, , 2014, helps us to think more carefully about those with whom we share our worlds, while that on slaughterhouses (Roe, 2010;Thierman, 2010), zoos (e.g. Anderson, 1995;Chrulew, 2011) and city parks (Kopnina, 2013) particularly highlights human-nonhuman encounters facilitated by practices of spatial planning.…”

Make kin, not cities! Multispecies entanglements and ‘becoming-world’ in planning theory

Much planning theory has been undergirded by an ontological exceptionalism of humans. Yet, city planning does not sit outside of the eco-social realities co-producing the Anthropocene. Urban planners and scholars, therefore, need to think carefully and critically about who speaks for (and with) the nonhuman in place making. In this article, we identify two fruitful directions for planning theory to better engage with the imbricated nature of humans and nonhumans is recognised as characteristic of the Anthropocene -multispecies entanglements and becoming-world. Drawing on the more-than-human literature in urban and cultural geography and the environmental humanities, we consider how these terms offer new possibilities for productively rethinking the ontological exceptionalism of humans in planning theory. We critically explore how planning

“…To be sure, desires to eliminate all forms of anthropogenic nature sustain conservation on the Galápagos too: a World Wildlife Foundation report (Bensted‐Smith ) stated that conservation's goal is to revert ecosystems to their state prior to the islands’ discovery in 1534. Environmental humanities scholars have mainly focused on the ethical implications, or lack thereof, of invasive‐species management (Clark ; Ginn, Beisel, and Barua ; van Dooren ). They have argued that the labeling of undesired animals and the practices that target them, such as invasive species or humane killing and euthanasia , obscures the moral implications of conservation (Clark ; van Dooren ).…”

Though I second this line of critique, I investigate eradication not only for what it stands for but also for what it does.…”

Tangles of Care: Killing Goats to Save Tortoises on the Galápagos Islands

If calls to care for other species multiply in a time of global and local environmental crisis, this article demonstrates that caring practices are not always as benevolent or irenic as imagined. To save endemic tortoises from the menace of extinction, Proyecto Isabela killed more than two hundred thousand goats on the Galápagos Islands in the largest mammal eradication campaign in the world. While anthropologists have looked at human engagements with unwanted species as habitual and even pleasurable, I discuss an exceptional intervention that was ethically inflected toward saving an endemic species, yet also controversial and distressing. Exploring eradication’s biological, ecological, and political implications and discussing opposing practices of care for goats among residents, I move past the recognition that humans live in a multispecies world and point to the contentious nature of living with nonhuman others. I go on to argue that realizing competing forms of care may help conservation measures—and, indeed, life in the Anthropocene—to move beyond the logic of success and failure toward an open-ended commitment to the more-than-human.

“…No entanto, o benefício-da-dúvida tem sido proposto como princípio ético aliado ao princípio da precaução, uma vez que até o presente momento não há conhecimento científico suficiente para refutar sua senciência, logo a dúvida deve garantir que sejam tratados de maneira a favorecer seu BEA (Elwood, 2011, Oliveira e Goldim, 2014. Neste contexto questões éticas na utilização de invertebrados têm sido apontadas e refletidas (Nash, 2004;Mather e Anderson, 2007;Carruthers, 2007;Clark, 2015), clamando pelo aprofundamento dos conhecimentos sobre a senciência (Levine, 1974;Harvey-Clark, 2011), para que esses animais sejam incluídos na esfera de proteção legal (Dutra, Oliveira, 2010;Oliveira e Goldim, 2014). A educação é indicada como uma chave para a mudança na concepção, conscientizando sobre a importância ecológi-ca dos invertebrados (Nash, 2004;Tlusty et al, 2013).…”

Objetivou-se avaliar a promoção do bem-estar de invertebrados usados em pesquisa por meio da sua representação no meio científico, divulgação das pesquisas e inclusão nos debates éticos. A análise atestou predomínio de abordagens biológicas, utilitaristas em animais de interesse médico e econômico, cuja incipiência de informações sobre as condições de obtenção, manipulação e experimentação comprometem a reprodutibilidade e desenvolvimento da área. Discutese a inclusão dos invertebrados nos debates éticos cuja reivindicação de normatizações e proteção, demanda a instrumentalização do pesquisador em busca pela excelência técnica e ética no planejamento, execução e divulgação de sua pesquisa a fim de fortalecer o contrato social e cientifico gerador de benéficos para ciência e para qualidade de vida do animal. Palavras-chave: bioética, ética animal, especismo, invertebrados, integridade na pesquisaNuestro objetivo fue evaluar la promoción del bienestar de invertebrados utilizados en la investigación a través de su representación en la comunidad científica, la difusión de las investigaciones y la inclusión en los debates éticos.

The analysis resulted in the predominance of biological, utilitarian approaches in animals of medical and economic interest, whose incipience of information on the conditions of collecting, manipulation, and experimentation compromise the reproducibility and development of the area. It is discussed the inclusion of the invertebrates in the ethics debates, whose claim for standards and protection, demands the exploitation of the researcher in search of technical and ethical excellence in the planning, execution and dissemination of his research to strengthen the social and scientific contract generator of benefits to science and to the animal's quality of life.
