Together, they explore the deep historical roots and contemporary significance of Juneteenth, not merely as a commemoration of emancipation, but as a critical reminder of the ongoing struggle for Black freedom and justice in America. The episode unpacks the delayed emancipation of enslaved people in Texas and how that moment has come to symbolize both liberation and the persistent deferral of true justice. The guests discuss how Juneteenth can serve as a tool for historical education and political awareness in a time of mounting resistance to teaching about race and systemic inequality. They confront today's challenges—from voter suppression to book bans—and connect them to longstanding efforts to silence Black history. Topics range from the fight for economic justice and the risk of performative recognition of Black holidays, to the power of grassroots organizing and the legacy of Black resistance. The conversation concludes with a call to action, encouraging listeners to move beyond celebration and toward meaningful engagement with their communities—through education, advocacy, and sustained activism. Above all, the episode asks: What does freedom truly mean, and how do we continue to fight for it? With clear-eyed realism and a commitment to hope, this Juneteenth conversation invites listeners to reflect, resist, and reimagine the path forward.]]> In this powerful special edition of the AAS Podcast, host Tera Hunter—Chair of Princeton's Department of African American Studies—leads an urgent and reflective Juneteenth conversation with distinguished scholars Joshua Guild and Khalil Gibran Muhammad.

According to a report from the Tampa Bay Times, five St. Petersburg  city firefighters have filed suit in Pinellas-Pasco (FL) Circuit Court against Mine Safety Appliance Co. and Ten-8 Fire Equipment Inc., claiming that the helmets they were issued in 2010 were designed poorly and caused head and neck injuries.  Specifically, the firefighters allege that the 1044 Cairns model helmet, manufactured by Mine Safety and distributed by Ten-8, is uneven and causes musculoskeletal injuries.  Translation: These helmets allegedly turn the firefighters into life size bobble heads. While the report is silent as to the nature of the injuries, we here at Abnormal Use can reasonably conceive how a weighty helmet could cause neck injuries.  After all, we are all prisoners of gravity and the hazards of top heaviness. Nonetheless, we question what alleged design defect in the 1044 Cairns model distinguishes it from any other helmet.  It seems as if any over-sized helmet would have the propensity to promote bobble head-like movement.  As such, even though the firefighters allege that this helmet is uneven, they might face some difficulty demonstrating that the injuries are the result of the 1044 Cairns and not repetitive trauma from prior models.  Further, it will also be interesting to see if this alleged problem is limited to the St. Petersburg department or whether it is more widespread.

So, on July 22, Hajn filed suit for willful trademark infringement and unfair competition in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of Florida to prevent A&E from using its purported trademark. A&E has apparently declined to comment, and as of press time, it has not yet filed a response to the lawsuit. We will say that we were impressed with the color images of advertisements – and even tweets – embedded into the complaint. Longtime readers may recall that back in 2010 we here at Abnormal Use remarked: While it is customary to attach photographs as exhibits to memoranda in support of motions, rarely does the attorney actually embed the photograph into the pleading itself. (This is changing for the better, though.). Whatever the case, we should all be patient to see where this one goes, or as Uncle Si says “America, everybody is in too big a rush. Lay back, take a sip of tea, mow a little grass. Then if you get tired, take a nap.” The suit is Hajn, LLC v. A&E Television Networks, LLC, 2:14-cv-14291-KAM (S.D. Fla).

An incident of this type is obviously traumatic, especially when a pregnant woman is involved.   At this point, it is too early to tell who is to blame.  Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor has said that there was “no indication” of any involvement by Morales or Rosado.  So, if not them, then who?  A neighbor?  A friend?  Wal-Mart?  The packing house?  Could it just have been an LSD-addicted cow?  These questions are yet to be determined. Certainly, this Florida Wal-Mart will be forced to attempt to clear its name.  Despite the police’s assertion the there was “no indication” that the victims were involved, Wal-Mart would be wise to do more investigation.  We are by no means experts in LSD, but we do find it suspicious that the effects of LSD can be so severe after the drug has been exposed to heat.  Moreover, we also find it interesting that those effects were violent illness for the adults rather than hallucinations.  Something sounds suspicious. There are obviously more questions than answers at this stage.  We don’t know who, what, where, when, or how this family ingested LSD.  But, certainly it couldn’t have been from a high quality Wal-Mart steak.

Courts are beginning to limit the nature of social media discovery, chiefly in light of the fact that we live so much of our lives online that not every post or status update can be discoverable in a lawsuit. Yesterday, in Root v. Balfour Beatty Const. LLC— So.3d —-, (Fla. Ct. App. Feb. 05, 2014), the Florida Court of Appeals overturned a magistrate’s order in a negligence case that had required the Plaintiff to produce a host of materials from her Facebook account. The Plaintiff was suing on behalf of her young son who was injured in an automobile accident near a construction site (the safety of which was at issue in the proceeding). It does not appear that the Plaintiff was present at the scene of the accident, and at that time, Plaintiff’s son was being supervised by his 17 year old aunt (which led to a negligent entrustment affirmative defense). Here’s what the defendant’s asked for: (o.) Any and all postings, statuses, photos, “likes” or videos related to [Plaintiff’s]’s i. Relationships with [the injured child] or her other children, both prior to, and following, the accident; ii. Relationships with other family members, boyfriends, husbands, and/or significant others, both prior to, and following the accident; iii. Mental health, stress complaints, alcohol use or other substance use, both prior to and after, the accident; …. v. Facebook account postings relating to any lawsuit filed after the accident by [Plaintiff] or others[.] Not surprisingly, the Plaintiff object to the discovery requests on the grounds that they were overbroad. The Court of Appeals bought this argument, noting: [Plaintiff’s] complaint contains claims on behalf of [the injured child] for negligence as to each defendant and Root’s derivative claims for loss of parental consortium. Defendants responded with several affirmative defenses including negligent entrustment of [the injured child] by [Plaintiff], the aunt’s failure to supervise, and the driver’s negligence. As to [the injured child’s] claims for negligence, none of the objected-to discovery pertains to the accident itself. Similarly, none of the objected-to discovery pertains to Defendants’ affirmative defenses. Instead, the discovery relates to [Plaintiff’s] past and present personal relationships with all her children, other family members, and significant others; [Plaintiff’s] past and present mental health, stress complaints, and use of alcohol or other substances; and lawsuits of any nature filed by [Plaintiff] or others after the accident. At the hearing before the magistrate, the party seeking discovery didn’t help itself by noting that “These are all things that we would like to look under the hood, so to speak, and figure out whether that’s even a theory worth exploring.” Well, we as defense lawyers probably need to articulate the basis for our social media discovery requests a bit more artfully (although the magistrate judge, who apparently remarked at the hearing that “95 percent, or 99 percent of this may not be relevant,” did require production of the materials requested). The lesson: tailor social media discovery requests to require production of materials related as closely as can be to the claims and defenses in the case.

[…] The post Zimmerman Case Puts More Florida Laws Under Scrutiny appeared first on Abnormal Use. ]]> In the course of following the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case, the entire country learned about Florida’s so-called “Stand Your Ground” law.  In case you’ve been under a rock for the better part of a year and a half, Zimmerman was a neighborhood watch volunteer who encountered 17-year-old Trayvon Martin one night in his gated community.  After calling the police, Zimmerman and Martin got into an altercation that resulted in Zimmerman fatally shooting Martin. While the defense team for Zimmerman did not actually use Florida’s Stand Your Ground law as a defense at trial, the case itself brought that law and others like it from other jurisdictions under intense scrutiny.  Protests such as this sit-in reported by The New York Times sprung up around the nation against these types of laws, passed in the name of self defense. Zimmerman’s recent acquittal has brought another Florida law into the limelight.  As reported by NBC News, Zimmerman’s attorneys are preparing a motion that would ask the State of Florida – i.e. the Florida taxpayers – to pick up part of the tab for his defense, to the tune of almost $300,000.  The motion would be based on a Florida law that “says a defendant who’s acquitted isn’t liable for costs associated with his or her case,” according to NBC. Like good little lawyers, we looked up the statute.  It states as follows: (1) A defendant in a criminal prosecution who is acquitted or discharged is not liable for any costs or fees of the court or any ministerial office, or for any charge of subsistence while detained in custody. If the defendant has paid any taxable costs, or fees required under s. 27.52(1)(b), in the case, the clerk or judge shall give him or her a certificate of the payment of such costs, with the items thereof, which, when audited and approved according to law, shall be refunded to the defendant. (2) To receive a refund under this section, a defendant must submit a request for the refund to the Justice Administrative Commission on a form and in a manner prescribed by the commission. The defendant must attach to the form an order from the court demonstrating the defendant’s right to the refund and the amount of the refund. Fla. Stat. Ann. § 939.06.  A few decisions out of Florida have clarified the statute.  First, the public policy behind the statute is fairly obvious, but it’s worth repeating.  The purpose of the law is, as stated by the Florida District Court of Appeals, is to “protect a defendant from costs when he is innocent or when the state fails to pursue a vigorous prosecution.”  State v. Crawford, 378 So. 2d 822, 823 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1979). It should also be noted that not everything that Zimmerman–or his lawyers–spent on behalf of his defense effort is eligible for reimbursement; only “taxable costs” are provided for in the statute.  The Supreme Court of Florida has provided some guidance here: Given its plain meaning, the relevant portion of this statute simply says: No acquitted criminal defendant shall be liable for any court costs or court fees, any costs or fees of a ministerial government office, or any charges for subsistence, and that if such a defendant has paid any of these taxable costs he or she shall be reimbursed by the county. Bd. of Cnty. Comm’rs, Pinellas Cnty. v. Sawyer, 620 So. 2d 757, 758 (Fla. 1993).  Examples of costs that would not be reimbursable under Florida law include investigative costs, private attorneys’ fees, deposition transcription fees, video deposition fees, process service fees,  expert witness fees, and fees for transcription of excerpts of trial.  Id.; Hillsborough County v. Martinez, 483 So.2d 540 (Fla. Ct. App. 1986); Justice Admin. Comm’n v. Neighbors, 927 So. 2d 218, 219 (Fla. Ct. App. 2006). It will be interesting to see if this law receives the same kind of attention and criticism as Stand Your Ground.  The Zimmerman case continues to make news and provide a microscope with which to view the rule of law and other issues of socio-economics and race in America.  Fascinating stuff.

Back in July,  an intoxicated Florida woman was arrested after blocking a McDonald’s drive-thru in search of free Big Macs for breakfast. According to the Consumerist, the woman pulled up to the drive-thru around 6:00 a.m. and demanded two free Big Macs as retribution for past discrepancies.  After being told that Big Macs are not available for breakfast, the woman politely changed her demand to two free Egg McMuffins.  Sounds reasonable.  Unfortunately, McDonald’s balked at the idea of giving away free food and asked the woman to leave.  She valiantly responded by blocking the drive-thru until police arrived.  She was arrested for DUI and apparently taken to jail hungry. Last week, a Georgia man called 9-1-1 after McDonald’s allegedly messed up his order.  According to reports, the man entered the restaurant and ordered 7 McDoubles, a McChicken, and an order of fries to-go.  When the man returned to his truck, he discovered that the employee placed not 7, but 6, McDoubles in the bag.    He then re-entered the restaurant and apparently got some “attitude” from the employee rather than his AWOL burger.  The man’s response?  Call 9-1-1 and report that his burger had been swapped with a serving of ‘tude.  The police were not fond of the man’s use of the emergency response system, arresting the man and having him spend a night in jail. Even though these cases do not involve coffee, they share a common theme:  Mess with McDonald’s and expect to make the news.

Innovation subsequently moved to dismiss those suits. Last week, the manufacturer found out that it must continue litigating at least one of those suits after a Florida federal judge denied its motion. At issue in these cases is 5-Hour Energy’s product statement, “Hours of energy now – No crash later.” As self-proclaimed coffee connoisseurs, we are a little too old fashioned to know the effectiveness of an energy drink’s claim. Apparently, enough consumers to organize into three putative classes think the product statement is a bit of a stretch. In one of the suits, Guarino v. Innovation Ventures LLC, d/b/a Living Essentials, No. 13-cv-00101-GPM-PMF (S.D. Illinois 2013), the plaintiffs allege that the product statement “is not true, as admitted on the Defendant’s website and hidden behind the bottles in the display, which reads: ‘No crash means no sugar crash.’” So Innovation is falsely advertising a product by placing true statements on its website and directly on the bottle? Now we see why Innovation filed those motions to dismiss in the first place. While its motion to dismiss may have been denied, Innovation may still ultimately prevail in this suit. Pleading sufficient allegations to survive a motion to dismiss does not necessarily make a good case. Unfortunately for Innovation, it now must embroil itself in hours of litigation defending the case. For their sake, let’s hope there is no awful crash afterwards.

As you might recall, Spurs coach Greg Popovich elected to rest star players Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobli, Tony Parker, and Danny Green against the Heat for the last game of 6-game road trip. We here at Abnormal Use refrained from voicing our opinions on the fine because it was not necessarily a legal issue at the time. Now, Miami lawyer, Larry McGuinness, has made it one – and opened the door for an Abnormal Use critique. McGuinness filed a class action lawsuit against the Spurs in a Miami-Dade County court over the incident, alleging that the team violated the State of Florida’s unfair trade practices laws. The suit alleges that Popovich “intentionally and surreptitiously” sent the players home without the knowledge of the league. As a result, fans allegedly suffered economic damages in paying a premium price for a ticket. McGuinness, who bought his own ticket to the game on the resale market, compared the situation to a disappointing meal at a steakhouse: It was like going to Morton’s Steakhouse and paying $63 for porterhouse and they bring out cube steak . . . . That’s exactly what happened here. We understand the disappointment. No one likes to show up to a game only to discover that a star player is M.I.A. However, our sympathy ends there. From a legal perspective, we question the validity of McGuinness’ suit.  Tickets to sporting events are usually revocable licenses which provide the holder the right to attend a game.  The team can revoke the license at any time, for (essentially) any reason.  It seems illogical to perceive a situation where McGuinness can successfully bring a suit for events that happened within a game when his own license to said game could be unilaterally revoked prior to the game without repercussions.  Moreover, McGuinness has filed suit against the Spurs – not the Heat, the team who issued him the license in the first place. Even assuming McGuinness has grounds for a cause of action against the Spurs, just how has he and the rest of the class been damaged?  We understand that this was a “premium” game and that fans may have paid a higher ticket price.  However, McGuinness bought his own ticket through the resale market – any premium he paid was not that charged by the team or the NBA.  Sure, he may have been deprived of the opportunity to watch the Spurs’ stars, but he still had the chance to observe Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh fine tune their craft.  Even without the Spurs’ stars, the trio struggled to a 105-100 victory.  We wonder if McGuinness would have preferred a Heat loss to a fully-manned Spurs? From a fan’s perspective, this suit could set an unwanted precedent.  Requiring teams to play – rather than strategically bench – otherwise healthy players will place teams in precarious situations.  Imagine the backlash if star player is injured in a meaningless game against a woeful team simply because he was required to play.  We are thinking most fans would prefer that their favorite players sit for a game if it helps bring home a title. If teams are required to play players, where does the NBA draw the line?  What if a player is medically cleared to play, but wants another day to rest a sprained ankle?  What about a death in the family just before game time?  While it is unlikely that an entire starting lineup would be simultaneously plagued by these conditions, they do arise.  Some fans – like McGuinness – will continue to have their gripes, so should they continue to bring lawsuits? Again, we understand the frustration of attending a game only to discover a star player is not in attendance.  However, it is a part of the game and a part of the risk involved when purchasing a ticket.

Take the recent case of Horrillo v. Cook Inc., 10-15327, 2012 WL 6553611 (11th Cir. Nov. 7, 2012) [PDF].  This case involved a stent manufactured by the defendant and approved by the FDA for use in bile ducts.  Dr. Michael Rush, however, used it during his angioplasty surgery on Margaret Horillo, not in a bile duct, but in her renal artery. Within 24 hours of the procedure, Ms. Horillo suffered a serious stroke. The warnings included by the manufacturer read as follows: First, it stated that the device was “intended for use in palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree,” which is to say, treatment for cancer in the bile ducts. Second, under a heading entitled, “WARNINGS,” the instructions for use cautioned that “[t]he safety and effectiveness of this device for use in the vascular system have not been established.” Deposition testimony in the case, however, revealed that stents such as this one were regularly used “off label” in the vascular system.  In fact, Dr. Rush had used this particular stent in the past in renal arteries.  The off-label use was so widespread, in fact, that the FDA called Cook and several other such manufacturers together about the issue before this surgery was performed.  As a result of that meeting, Cook sent a letter to the hospital where Dr. Rush did the surgery warning of the risk of stroke. In his deposition, Dr. Rush testified that he was aware of some risk of using the biliary stent in the vascular system.  The degree to which he knew of the risks, however, became the primary issue in litigation.  At the trial level, the magistrate concluded that Dr. Rush was fully aware of the risks, applied the learned intermediary doctrine, and granted Cook’s motion for summary judgment. The appellate court was not so convinced.  As the court stated, the issue was whether Dr. Cook’s knowledge was equal to that of Rush.  The evidence in the case suggested that it was not, and reversed summary judgment, and remanded the case.  A good reminder that the learned intermediary doctrine comes with its own set of challenges as an affirmative defense.

Liggett Group, Inc., 945 So.2d 1246 (Fla. 2006).  The cases have presented interesting class action issues, as well as novel statutes of limitations issues.  On December 14, 2012, the second district court of appeal of Florida rendered its decision in Smith v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., No. 2D11-2562, 2012 WL 6216756 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. Dec. 14, 2012), another case which provided Florida the opportunity to navigate “the interplay of the Florida Wrongful Death Act and the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure.” Some background first.  Della Mae Butler was a plaintiff in a personal injury action against several tobacco companies; as the court notes in its decision, she was pursuing a so-called “Engle claim.”  After she died, the personal representative moved to amend the complaint to substitute himself as the plaintiff and to add a wrongful death claim.  The circuit court denied the motion and dismissed  the complaint. Here was the issue: Under the Wrongful Death Act, “[w]hen a personal injury to the decedent results in death, no action for the personal injury shall survive, and any such action pending at the time of death shall abate.” § 768.20, Fla. Stat. (2008). The relevant Florida Rule of Civil Procedure provides that “[i]f a party dies and the claim is not thereby extinguished, the court may order substitution of the proper parties.” Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.260(a)(1). Here, by denying the motion to substitute the personal representative for the deceased plaintiff, the circuit court essentially ruled that abate in the Wrongful Death Act equates with extinguish in the civil procedure rules. Which, apparently, ignored the “remedial nature” of Florida’s Wrongful Death Act, as well as the “liberal spirit” of the civil procedure rules.  The court held that “stay” is a more appropriate synonym to “abate” as used in the Wrongful Death Act, thus allowing for a party to be substituted in the event of a death.  This interpretation, the court reasoned, is more in line with the rules of civil procedure, which specify that leave to amend “shall be given freely.” The interesting thing about this opinion is that, in the actual body of the opinion, the court actually acknowledges that it conflicts with a prior decision, and certified the conflict.  We will continue to watch this interesting line of cases.

Francione <a href="; Blog</a><br /><br />Liebe KollegInnen, <br /><br />im Kielwasser einer Kontroverse in Großbritannien über den Verkauf von Halal-Fleisch, das Ausbluten [von geschlachteten Tieren] ohne Betäubung bedeutet, und über den Kommentar einer britischen Organisation des Neuen Tierschutzes, VIVA! [Vegetarians International Voice for Animals], dass ''Konsumenten .. ihren Teil .. beitragen (können), indem Sie Orte boykottieren, die fortdauernd Fleisch von unbetäubten Tieren verkaufen'', habe ich zwei Essays geschrieben. <br /><br />Im <a href="2010/09/eine-verpasste-gelegenheit.html">ersten Essay</a> stellte ich heraus, dass VIVA!, zusätzlich dazu, auf den islamophobischen Zug aufzuspringen, der von den reaktionären Medien angetrieben wird, eine vermeintlich ''glücklichere'' Form der Tierschlachtung fördert anstatt, wie es der Verein tun sollte, die Idee zu fördern, dass die <span style="font-style:italic;">einzige</span> sinnvolle Konsequenz eines moralischen Bedenkens gegenüber der Tierausbeutung darin besteht, aufzuhören, Tiere zu essen, als Bekleidung oder für andere Zwecke zu verwenden und anzufangen, vegan zu leben. <br /><br />VIVA! antwortete darauf und ich schrieb einen <a href="2010/10/vivas-antwort-und-meine.html">zweiten Essay</a>, in dem ich notierte, dass VIVA! zwischen Fleisch und anderen Tierprodukten unterscheidet und für Vegetarismus als moralisch sinnvolle Wahl wirbt, Veganismus als schwierig und ''abschreckend'' darstellt, vegetarische Kochbücher mit nichtveganen Rezepten verkauft und für vegetarische Restaurants, die Milchprodukte servieren, Werbung macht. <span style="font-style:italic;">Mit einem Wort, VIVA! fördert die fleischlose Variante der Tierausbeutung.</span><br /><br />Tja, nun hat der Verein eine <a href=" </a>gegen die RSPCA [Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals] veröffentlicht, die Einrichtung, die das <a href="2010/01/ein-auerst-irrefuhrendes-etikett-von.html">Freedom-Food-Label</a> [Freiheitsnahrung] sponsert, mit der Behauptung, dass die RSPCA die Dinge nicht ordentlich überwacht und ''Bio-Eier'' nicht wirklich ''Bio'' sind. Aber VIVA! erzählt uns nichts Neues. Von Anfang des Freedom-Food-Projekts an war klar, dass dieses <span style="font-style:italic;">nichts</span> anderes als ein Marketinginstrument zur Bereicherung der RSPCA und der Produzenten von ''Bio-Fleisch'' und anderen ''Bio''-Tierprodukten ist und Freedom-Food-Tiere genauso gequält werden wie die Tiere, deren Leiden und Tod nicht von der RSPCA abgesegnet werden. Nichtsdestotrotz fallen Tierschutzgruppen in den USA, Großbritannien und anderen Ländern übereinander in dem fieberhaften Bemühen, <a href="2010/03/partner-in-sachen-ausbeutung.html">Partnerschaften mit institutionellen Ausbeutern</a> herzustellen, die noch mehr ''Bio'-''Label mit sich bringen werden. <br /><br />Zurück zu VIVA! und der RSPCA. Hier haben wir eine Tierausbeutung unterstützende Organisation, die eine andere Organisation der Unterstützung von Tierausbeutung beschuldigt. Ich kann kaum erwarten, dass VIVA! uns ein paar ihrer nicht vegan lebenden Prominenten auftischt, die uns erzählen, dass die RSPCA-Nichtveganer weniger ''mitfühlend'' als die Nichtveganer von VIVA! sind. Vielleicht kann PETA [People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals] einen ''mitfühlenden'' Schlammschlacht-Wettbewerb zwischen leicht bekleideten Nichtveganern von VIVA! und RSPCA sponsern. Alles für die Tiere. <br /><br />Aber hinter jeder Wolke zeigt sich ein Silberstreif am Horizont. Sicher, ''Bio''-Tierprodukte sind nicht wirklich Bio (offenbar sofern sie nicht in einem von VIVA! beworbenen nichtveganen Restaurant serviert werden). Aber <span style="font-style:italic;">Sie </span>können helfen. Direkt rechts neben der Anklage VIVA!s gegen die RSPCA findet sich die Lösung: ''Helfen Sie uns, Tiere zu retten. Machen Sie eine Spende an VIVA!'' und Sie können einen Betrag einsetzen und auf ''Spenden'' klicken. <br /><br />Oh ja, der standardmäßige Refrain der großen Tierschutzgruppen: Die Lage der Tiere ist schlecht, aber wir können sie verbessern. Schicken Sie uns Geld und wir lösen das Problem. Wir ''retten Tiere.''<br /><br />Das ist natürlich ein Hirngespinst. Das Einzige, was Sie retten, indem Sie auf ''Spenden'' klicken, ist der Job der Leute, die für VIVA! arbeiten. Um das Problem der Tierausbeutung zu lösen, gibt es nur einen Weg. Es gibt nur einen Weg, ''Tiere zu retten'': durch die Verschiebung des moralischen Leitbilds weg von Tieren als Wirtschaftsgüter/ Waren, die als Ressourcen des Menschen existieren, hin zu der Anschauung von Tieren als Mitglieder der moralischen Gemeinschaft, als nichtmenschliche Personen. Aber das wird nicht geschehen – kann nicht geschehen –, solange Tiere auf unserem Teller liegen und wir ihre Haut am Körper und an den Füßen tragen. Das Leitbild wird sich niemals ändern ohne eine starke Bewegung des ethischen Veganismus. <br /><br />Sie können also helfen, aber nicht dadurch, irgendjemandem Geld zu schicken. Sie brauchen keine Organisation oder auf ''Spenden'' zu klicken. Die großen Tierschutz-Unternehmen stehen dem Wandel im Weg, sie erleichtern ihn nicht. <br /><br />Sie brauchen nur <span style="font-style:italic;">Ihre</span> Entscheidung, das Richtige zu tun, zu treffen, und anfangen, vegan zu leben<br /><br />In einem können Sie sich sicher sein: Wenn Sie nicht vegan leben, beteiligen Sie sich direkt an Tierausbeutung. Es gibt keinen moralisch schlüssigen Unterschied zwischen Fleisch und anderen Tierprodukten. Es steckt ebenso viel Leiden in einem Glas Milch oder Stück Käse, serviert in einem von VIVA! unterstützten ''Bio''-Ausbeutungsrestaurant, wie in dem Fleisch, das mit einem ''Bio''-Label verkauft wird. Und alle Tiere, ob für Fleisch oder Milch oder was auch immer genutzt, enden ihr Leben inmitten des Lärms und Elends irgendeines grässlichen Schlachthauses. <br /><br />Wenn Sie nicht vegan leben: fangen Sie damit an. Entgegen den negativen Verlautbarungen von VIVA! und vieler anderer großer Tierschutz-Unternehmen, dass Veganismus schwer oder abschreckend ist, ist es <span style="font-style:italic;">sehr</span> leicht. Und wie schwer auch immer Sie es finden mögen, vegan zu leben, bedenken Sie nur, wie schwer es für die Tiere ist, dass Sie nicht vegan leben. <br /><br />Veganismus ist besser für Ihre Gesundheit und für den Planeten. Und, was das Wichtigste ist, es ist das moralisch Richtige und Gerechte. Ethischer Veganismus ist eine machtvolle Art und Weise, ''Nein'' zu Tierausbeutung zu sagen. <br /><br />Wenn Sie vegan leben, dann klären Sie andere über Veganismus auf. Ihr eigener Veganismus und Ihre Bemühungen in kreativer, gewaltloser Aufklärung über Veganismus sind die wirkungsvollsten Wege, [Tieren] zu helfen.<br /><a href=" />Die Welt ist vegan!

Francione <a href=" /><br />Liebe KollegInnen, <br /><br />Ich hatte einen <a href="2010/09/eine-verpasste-gelegenheit.html">Essay </a>über die in der <span style="font-style:italic;">The Sunday Mail </span>(einer britischen Zeitschrift) berichteten Bemerkungen von ViVA! [Vegetarians International Voice for Animals] gepostet, in denen es um den Verkauf von Fleisch von Tieren, die nach der Halal-Methode geschlachtet wurden, in Großbritannien ging. <br /><br />Eine ''Antwort von VIVA!'' wurde auf <a href=" Views </a>gepostet, wo mein Essay nachgedruckt worden war: <blockquote>Gary, vielleicht interessiert es Sie, dass The Daily Mail nicht mit VIVA! gesprochen hat. Sie hat ein Zitat von unserer Website genommen. Rituelle Schlachtung ohne vorausgehende Betäubung ist als grausamer [als andere Schlachtmethoden] erwiesen, aber wir sind gegen alles Schlachten. Natürlich gibt es so etwas wie ''humane Schlachtung'' nicht. <br /><br />Wir versuchen bei jeder Gelegenheit, Veganismus als die ethischste Wahl des Handelns, um Tiere zu schützen, voranzutreiben. Sie müssen allerdings verstehen, dass die Medien ihre eigene Agende haben. Wenn wir mit The Daily Mail gesprochen hätten (wir haben es inzwischen getan), hätten wir uns dabei, Veganismus voranzutreiben, den Mund fusselig reden können. Die drucken, was sie drucken wollen. Bitte bedenken Sie dies, bevor Sie uns oder andere Gruppen in Zukunft kritisieren. Danke. <br /><br />- Justin Kerswell September 21, 2010 11:06AM </blockquote> Ich kann bestätigen, dass diese Antwort tatsächlich die von VIVA! ist. Hier ist meine: <br /><br />Lieber Justin, <br /><br />vielen Dank für Ihre Antwort. Bedauerlicherweise geht sie nicht auf meine Bedenken ein, außer insofern sie sie bekräftigt. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Islamophobie und Halal-Schlachtung</span><br /><br />Wenn wir annehmen (und ich tue es), dass was Sie sagen, der Wahrheit entspricht und <span style="font-style:italic;">The Sunday Mail</span> nicht mit VIVA! gesprochen, sondern das Zitat von der Website des Vereins genommen hat, dann ist die Sache tatsächlich schwerwiegender, insofern die VIVA! zugeschriebenen fremdenfeindlichen Bemerkungen nicht als irgendeine aus dem Kontext gerissene Äußerung beschrieben werden können, sondern vielmehr ein wohl überlegtes, die Politik des Vereins repräsentierendes Statement. Im Licht der grassierenden Islamophobie in Großbritannien (und überall sonst) wäre es vielleicht eine gute Idee, dieses Statement von Ihrer Website zu entfernen. Es hilft nichts zu sagen, dass VIVA! Multikulturalität unterstützt, wenn der Verein Bemerkungen wie diese macht, insbesondere angesichts dessen, dass wir beide wissen, dass Tiere, die betäubt werden, oft, wenn nicht sogar üblicherweise nicht richtig betäubt werden. Deshalb ist mir schleierhaft, warum Sie es für irgend sinnvoll erachten, einen Unterschied zwischen Halal-Schlachtung und konventioneller Schlachtung zu machen. <br /><br />Die VIVA! zugeschriebene Feststellung, von der Sie sich nicht distanzieren: ''Konsumenten können ihren Teil .. beitragen, indem sie Orte boykottieren, die fortdauernd Fleisch von unbetäubten Tieren verkaufen'' sendet überdies eine ausdrückliche, klare Botschaft, dass das Problem Halal- (oder Koscher-)Schlachtung ist und die Lösung darin besteht, Fleisch von unbetäubten Tieren zu boykottieren. Eine sehr viel bessere Aussage wäre gewesen: ''Konsumenten, die dieses Problem kümmert, sollten überlegen, ob sie überhaupt irgendwelche Tierprodukte konsumieren sollten, weil alle Tierprodukte das Resultat des Quälens und nicht zu rechtfertigenden Tötens von Tieren sind.'' Wie ich sagte, hat VIVA! eine Gelegenheit versäumt, hier aufzuklären. Um es noch einmal zu sagen, angesichts der Tatsache, dass Tiere, die betäubt werden, oft nicht betäubt sind, ist die von Ihnen gemachte Unterscheidung ihren eigenen Bedingungen gemäß unhaltbar und nicht nur in Bezug auf den größeren Kontext, dass das Problem die Nutzung von Tieren ist und nicht eine bestimmte Art der Behandlung oder Ausbeutung von Tieren durch eine bestimmte Gruppe von Menschen. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">VIVA! und Veganismus</span><br /><br />Ihre Aussage, dass ''wir.. bei jeder Gelegenheit (versuchen), Veganismus als die ethischste Wahl des Handelns, um Tiere zu schützen, voranzutreiben'', ist schlicht nicht zutreffend. <br /><br />Fakt ist, dass VIVA! aktiv für Vegetarismus als moralisch schlüssige Alternative dazu, ein Allesesser zu sein, auf seinen Websites Werbung macht (der Verein hat Filialen in mehreren Ländern), und Veganismus als etwas Optionales darstellt, dass Menschen tun können, wenn sie weiter gehen wollen. In dem Maß, in welchem VIVA! Fleisch von anderen Tierprodukten unterscheidet, hält der Verein die Vorstellung am Leben, dass es einen moralisch schlüssigen Unterschied gibt, und wir wissen beide, dass dies Unsinn ist. Milch und Eier sind für ebenso viel, wenn nicht mehr Leiden verantwortlich, und alle Tierprodukte, egal, wie sie produziert werden, sind das Ergebnis des Tötens von Tieren. Vegetarismus anstelle von Veganismus zu fördern ist logisch nichts Anderes als das Essen von Fleisch von gescheckten Kühen anstelle von braunen Kühen zu fördern. Die von VIVA! angeführte Begründung ist genau die gleiche, die zur Unterstützung von Kampagnen wie die gegen das Essen von Kalbfleisch bemüht wird. Es gibt keinen Unterschied zwischen Kalbfleisch und anderem Tierfleisch oder zwischen Fleisch und anderen Tierprodukten. <br /><br />Die britische VIVA!-Website verkauft Kochbücher, die Rezepte mit Tierprodukten enthalten, und macht Werbung für Restaurants, die Tierprodukte servieren. Wie können Sie angesichts dessen sagen, dass Sie ''bei jeder Gelegenheit Veganismus vorantreiben'? Das ist eine rhetorische Frage. Indem Sie diese Bücher und Unternehmen fördern, richten Sie eine klare Aussage an die Öffentlichkeit: dass es einen Unterschied zwischen Fleisch und anderen Tierprodukten gibt. <br /><br />Nicht nur befördert VIVA! die Vorstellung,dass Vegetarismus eine sinnvolle Alternative dazu, ein Allesesser zu sein, darstellt, der Verein hält zudem den Unfug aufrecht, dass vegan zu leben schwierig oder ''abschreckend'' (ein von VIVA! auf seiner Facebook-Seite gebrauchter Ausdruck) und Vegetarismus eine Art Einsteg [in den Veganismus] sei. Derlei leistet nichts anderes, als die Propaganda zu verstärken, dass Veganismus eine extreme Position sei, die nur von Übermenschen erreicht werden könne. Es ist genau diese Einstellung, durch welche die Öffentlichkeit von Veganismus abgeschreckt wird und die zu der großen Zahl von ''Tierschutzleuten'' beiträgt, die nie begonnen haben, vegan zu leben. Wenn für uns feststeht, dass Veganismus die moralische Grundlinie ist, dann sollten wir das auch feststellen, und jene, die [noch] nicht bereit sind, vegan zu leben, werden welchen Zwischenschritt auch immer machen, aber zumindest ist die Botschaft klar. <br /><br />Wenn VIVA! wirklich Veganismus fördert, warum macht der Verein dann auf seiner Website Aussagen wie diese: ''VIVA! lehnt jegliches Schlachten ab und wir fördern Vegetarismus als den einzigen wahrhaft wirkungsvollen Weg, das Leiden von Tieren zu verhindern''? Wir werden das Leiden nicht dadurch abstellen, dass wir lediglich Vegetarier werden. Wenn Veganismus wirklich auf Ihrer Agenda steht und nicht nur eine optionale (und ''abschreckende'') Änderung des Lifestyles ist, warum dann machen Sie solche Aussagen, die die Leute nur verwirren? So, wie die Dinge stehen, würde jeder Leser von VIVA!s Website diese mit der Vorstellung verlassen, dass Vegetarismus eine einwandfreie moralische Position ist; dass Fleisch ''schlimmer'' als Milch ist und Veganismus eine Option – und eine schwierige und ''abschreckende'' zumal –, aber keine moralische Grundlinie. Wie viele von VIVA!s Mitgliedern sind Stammkunden von Restaurants, für die Sie Werbung machen, und konsumieren dort Milch und Käse? Wie viele kaufen VIVA!s nicht-vegane Kochbücher und kochen Gerichte, die Tierprodukte enthalten?<br /><br />Jene, die wirklich die Abschaffung der Tierausbeutung anstreben, sollten damit aufhören, sich an der ''Veganismus ist ja sooooo schwierig''-Propaganda zu beteiligen und die Idee von Vegetarismus (oder anderer Einzelthema-Kampagnen) als ''Einstieg'' in den Veganismus verwerfen. (Um mehr zu diesem Thema zu erfahren, hören Sie meinen <a href="2009/08/vegetarismus-als-ein-einstieg-in-den.html">Kommentar</a> und lesen Sie meine Essays <a href="2009/08/einige-bemerkungen-zu-vegetarismus.html">Einige Bemerkungen zu Vegetarismus als ''Einstieg'' in den Veganismus</a>, <a href="2009/03/einstiegsargumente.html">''Einstiegsargumente'</a>' und <a href=" First?''</a> [Zuerst Vegetarismus?]; letzterer wurde in <a href=" Vegan </a>veröffentlicht.) <br /><br />Zuletzt: Ihre Website betont Masssentierhaltung als das Problem – als ob dieses darin bestünde, <span style="font-style:italic;">wie </span>Tierprodukte gemacht werden, und nicht, <span style="font-style:italic;">dass </span>sie überhaupt gemacht werden. Dies trägt zur Verwirrung der Öffentlichkeit bei und verstärkt die Vorstellung, dass das Problem die Behandlung, nicht die Nutzung von Tieren ist. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Mein Ersuchen an VIVA!</span><br /><br />1. Mit einem Wort, ich bleibe besorgt darüber, dass Ihre Kommentare über Halal-Schlachtung, insbesondere im gegenwärtigen [politischen] Klima, islamophobisch sind, und ich ersuche Sie, auf Ihrer Website klarzustellen, dass nicht Halal-Schlachtung das Problem ist, sondern <span style="font-style:italic;">jegliche</span> Nutzung von Tieren. Ich ersuche Sie, alle Tierausbeutung in ein Boot zu setzen und nicht ein separates Boot für Muslime (oder Juden) zu konstruieren. <br /><br />2. Wenn Veganismus Ihre wirkliche Agenda ist, ersuche ich Sie, damit hervorzutreten und es zu sagen und aufzuhören, das Hirngespinst aufrechtzuerhalten, dass Fleisch in irgendeiner Weise ''schlimmer'' als Milch oder andere Tierprodukte ist. <br /><br />3. Ich ersuche VIVA!, damit aufzuhören, Veganismus als etwas Schwieriges oder Abschreckendes darzustellen. Das ist es nämlich nicht. Tatsächlich ist es, vegan zu leben, ziemlich leicht und heutzutage kann man zu fast allen Nahrungsmitteln tierlicher Herkunft, die man mag, vegane Alternativen bekommen. Wie wäre es mit einer ''Veganismus ist leicht''-Kampagne von VIVA!?<br /><br />Um es zu wiederholen: Wenn Sie Veganismus zur eindeutigen moralischen Grundlinie machen, mögen jene, die über dieses Problem [der Tierausbeutung] besorgt sind, wählen, weniger zu tun [als vegan zu leben], aber sie könnten zumindest nicht auf VIVA! verweisen und einigermaßen zutreffend behaupten, dass Sie einen Stempel der Gutheißung auf die Wahl, weiterhin ''weniger schlimme'' Tierprodukte zu konsumieren, drücken. <br /><br />4. Ich bitte VIVA! darum, aufzuhören, Kochbücher zu verkaufen, die den Gebrauch von Tierprodukten fördern, und für Restaurants Werbung zu machen, die Tierprodukte servieren. <br /><br />Vielen Dank. <br />Gary<br /><br />Gary L. Francione<br />Professor, Rutgers University <br /><br />***********<br />Nachtrag vom 26. September 2010<br /><br />In einer zusätzlichen, auf<a href="; Opposing Views</a> geposteten Antwort stellt VIVA! fest: <blockquote>In jedem Fall definieren wir vegetarisch als vegan ´– insoweit als wir für Veganismus als ethischste aller Ernährungsformen eintreten, aber wir erkennen an, dass Menschen dorthin in ihrer jeweils eigenen Gangart gelangen.</blockquote> Diese Behauptung ist faktisch inkorrekt. VIVA!s Materialien und Website unterscheiden kontinuierlich und konsequent zwischen ''vegetarisch'' und ''vegan''. Der Verein definiert ''vegetarisch'' nicht als ''vegan''. <br /><br />Überdies bedarf es, wenn VIVA! für Veganismus eintreten will, keiner sprachlichen Konfusion – verwenden Sie einfach ''vegan''. <br /><br />Und wie ich oben bereits feststellte, können wir anerkennen, dass die Menschen ''in ihrer jeweils eigenen Gangart (dorthin) gelangen'', ohne das Zugeständnis zu machen, dass das ''Dort'' irgendetwas Geringeres als Veganismus ist. Gegenwärtig sendet VIVA! die Botschaft, dass es eine moralisch schlüssige Unterscheidung zwischen Fleisch und anderen Tierprodukten gibt. Es gibt keine. <br /><br />Abschließend sehe ich, dass VIVA! nach heutigem Stand immer noch Kochbücher mit nichtveganen Rezepten verkauft und für Restaurants, die nichtveganes Essen servieren, Werbung macht.

Francione <a href=" </a><br /><br />Liebe KollegInnen, <br /><br />Es macht mich immer traurig, wenn eine [Tiere betreffende] Streitfrage in den Nachrichten kommt und Anwälte der Tiere die Chance verpassen, die Öffentlichkeit über Veganismus aufzuklären, weil sie stattdessen lieber auf den Zug des Neuen Tierschutzes aufspringen und den Menschen ein besseres Gewissen bei der Ausbeutung von Tieren geben. <br /><br />Die britische Zeitung <span style="font-style:italic;">The Mail on Sunday</span> brachte heute eine <a href=";, in der sie berichtete, dass ein großer Teil des in Großbritannien servierten Fleisches <span style="font-style:italic;">halal </span>ist – das Tier wurde dem islamischen Gesetz gemäß geschlachtet. Halal ist das Gleiche wie das jüdische Schlachtritual <span style="font-style:italic;">Kaschnut</span> [jüdische Speisegesetze] und bedeutet, dass ein tiefer Schnitt in den Hals des Tieres gemacht wird, der die Halsschlagader auf beiden Seiten durchtrennt, aber das Rückenmark intakt lässt [Schächten]. So geschlachtete Tiere werden nicht betäubt, und Halal- und Koscher-Schlachtung wird als grausamer kritisiert, als eine, die mehr Schmerzen und Leiden verursacht, als die Schlachtmethode mit Betäubung, die das Tier bewusstlos machen soll, bevor die eigentliche Tötung erfolgt. <br /><br />Viele Menschen in Großbritannien sind aufgebracht ob des Gedankens, dass das Fleisch, das sie essen, von Tieren stammt, die nicht ''human'' getötet wurden.<br /> <br />Ich würde behaupten, dass <span style="font-style:italic;">kein </span>Tier, von irgendjemandem in Großbritannien oder irgendwo sonst auf der Welt konsumiert, in einer Weise behandelt und getötet worden ist, die ''human'' genannt werden könnte, ohne das Wort in obszön missbräuchlicher Weise zu verwenden. <br /><br />Die Story lieferte Anwälten der Tiere also die Gelegenheit, der besorgten Öffentlichkeit zu erklären, dass es so etwas wie ''human'' produziertes Fleisch nicht gibt, dass <span style="font-style:italic;">alles</span> Fleisch – und<span style="font-style:italic;"> alle </span>Tierprodukte – von Tieren stammen, die selbst unter den besten Bedingungen gequält worden sind. Und wir können das Töten von Tieren unter keinen Umständen rechtfertigen, wenn die einzige Rechtfertigung, die wir haben, ist, dass sie gut schmecken. <br /><br />Haben die Anwälte der Tiere von dieser Gelegenheit Gebrauch gemacht?<br /><br />Mitnichten. <br /><br />Stattdessen beschrieben sie das Problem als eines, bei dem es um eine Prakitk einer bestimmten Religion geht. Zum Beispiel wird <a href="; in dem Artikel wie folgt zitiert: <blockquote>Andere Praktiken, die aus religiösen Gründen ausgeübt werden mögen, wie Polygamie oder das Steinigen von Ehebrecherinnen, sind im Vereinigten Königreich nicht erlaubt. <br /><br />Die Freiheit der Religion hat keinen Vorrang vor anderen moralischen Erwägungen, und das Leiden, das diese Form der Schlachtung verursacht, ist so gravierend, dass es uns nicht gestattet, nichts dagegen zu unternehmen. Konsumenten können ihren Teil dazu beitragen, indem sie Orte boykottieren, die fortdauernd Fleisch von unbetäubten Tieren verkaufen.</blockquote> Ich finde es furchtbar traurig, dass VIVA! entschieden hat, dieses Problem als das einer muslimischen Prakitk darzustellen, die Art und Weise betreffend, <span style="font-style:italic;">wie</span> Tiere geschlachtet werden, nicht, <span style="font-style:italic;">dass</span> sie überhaupt geschlachtet werden. Leider haben Muslime kein Monopol darauf, Tiere zu misshandeln, und VIVA!s Kommentare ermutigen Islamophobie, die in den USA und Großbritannien bereits grassiert. Und wie bereits erwähnt, verwenden Juden eine gleichartige Schlachtmethode, und das Schlachten mit Betäubung, von dem jeder denkt, es sei so viel besser als was Muslime und Juden praktizieren, ist gleichfalls wirklich grässlich. <br /><br />Es ist nichts als ein bloßes Hirngespinst, zu glauben, es gebe irgendeinen bedeutsamen Unterschied zwischen Halal-Fleisch und ''humanem'' Fleisch . <span style="font-style:italic;">Alles dies schließt Qualen und Tod ein.</span> Es ist schlicht unehrlich, die Vorstellung zu verewigen, dass wir gleichzeitig Tiere als Mitglieder der moralischen Gemeinschaft betrachten und fortfahren können, sie und aus ihnen gemachte Produkte zu essen. <br /><br />Jeder, der Tiere konsumiert, sitzt, fürchte ich, gewissermaßen im selben Boot. Es gibt kein speziell für Muslime oder Juden konstruiertes Boot. Indem wir halal oder kashrut kritisieren, tun wir so, als ob es einen moralisch bedeutsamen Unterschied [zwischen diesem und anderem Fleisch] gibt und als ob jene, die Fleisch von betäubten Tieren essen, moralisch überlegen seien, weil sie sich mehr um Tierschutz sorgen. Wir beteiligen uns wider einmal an der Lieblingsbeschäftigung des Neuen Tierschutzes, Menschen zu einem guten Gewissen bei der Ausbeutung von Tieren zu verhelfen, solange es ''human'' und mit Rücksicht auf den ''Tierschutz'' geschieht. <br /><br />Ich sollte erwähnen, dass viel von dem in den USA, besonders im Nordosten, verkauften Fleisch aus koscherer Schlachtung stammt; das gleiche Problem existiert also auch auf dieser Seite des Atlantik. <br /><br />In jedem Fall besteht die Lösung nicht darin, dass Sie Fleisch von betäubten Tieren kaufen oder Orte boykottieren, die Halal- oder koscheres Fleisch verkaufen.<br /> <br />Die Lösung ist, dass Sie sich fragen: Wenn mich das Problem kümmert, wenn ich Tierquälerei und unnötiges Töten ablehne, warum esse ich dann <span style="font-style:italic;">irgendwelches</span> Fleisch oder <span style="font-style:italic;">irgendwelche</span> Tierprodukte?<br /><br />Die Antwort darauf ist, dass Sie entweder einräumen, sich nicht wirklich darum zu scheren, oder anfangen, ernsthaft daran zu denken, vegan zu leben. <br /><br />Es ist eine Schande, dass Gruppen wie VIVA! darauf beharren, dass Veganismus etwas für den Durchschnittsmenschen zu Abschreckendes sei, um es verstehen zu können. Das ist es keineswegs, und diese gängelnde Haltung wird zu einer selbst erfüllenden Prophezeiung und fördert die Darstellung von Veganismus als ''extrem''. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Was </span>schwer zu verstehen ist: wie eine soziale Bewegung, die Tierausbeutung vorgeblich ablehnt, sich weigern kann, für Veganismus als moralische Grundlinie einzutreten, und sich stattdessen damit begnügt, ''Bio-Fleisch'', ''Bio-Milch'' und ''Bio-Eier'' als Produkte, die solchen aus Massentierhaltung vorzuziehen sind, zu bewerben oder die Vorstellung zu verewigen, es gebe einen bedeutungsvollen moralischen Unterschied zwischen Fleisch und anderen Tierprodukten. <br /><br />Wenn Sie nicht vegan leben: Fangen Sie damit an. Es ist sehr leicht, besser für die Gesundheit und für den Planeten. Und was das Wichtigste ist, es ist das moralisch Richtige und Gerechte. <br /><br /><a href=" Welt ist vegan!

Francione <a href=" /><br />Liebe KollegInnen, <br /><br />der heutige Tag markiert den Beginn einer neuen und wichtigen Kampagne für die Tiere:<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Kleiner-Fisch-aus-Großzucht-freier Freitag</span><br /><br />Das Ziel der Kampagne ist es, die Menschen dazu zu ermuntern, freitags keinen Fisch aus Massentierhaltung zu essen und statt dessen andere Tierprodukte zu konsumieren, zu dem Zweck, öffentliches Bewusstsein für das Elend kleiner Fische in Massentierhaltung zu wecken. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Warum Fisch?</span><br /><br />Obwohl es zutrifft, dass alle Tiere leiden und das Leiden jedes Tieres ihr oder sein Leiden und etwas ist, das er oder sie nicht erleben will, und obwohl wir nicht ohne moralische Fragwürdigkeit das Leiden eines Tieres über das eines anderen stellen können, haben wir uns entschieden, uns nur auf Fische zu konzentrieren und das Nichtessen von Fischen aus Großzuchtanlagen und nicht Veganismus anzuregen. <br /><br />Unsere Begründung ist einfach: Die Öffentlichkeit ist nicht intelligent genug oder emotional hinreichend darauf vorbereitet, si+ch der Tatsache zu stellen, dass alle empfindungsfähigen Wesen – nun ja.. empfindungsfähig sind. Das heißt, alle empfindungsfähigen Wesen wollen vermöge ihrer Empfindungsfähigkeit Schmerz, Leiden, Elend und andere negative Zustände nicht erfahren. Obwohl also alle empfindungsfähigen Wesen in diesem Sinne moralisch ununterscheidbar sind, haben wir beschlossen, eine zugegebenermaßen unhaltbare Unterscheidung zwischen Fisch und anderen Tieren zu treffen, weil wir die Öffentlichkeit langsam und schrittweise [zu obiger Erkenntnis] hinführen müssen. Die Wahrheit könnte sie schockieren und ihre kognitiven Fähigkeiten übermannen, so dass wir befanden, dass es besser sei, so zu tun, als sei das Essen von Fischen moralisch etwas anderes als das Essen von anderen [Tieren ] oder als die Verwendung von Tierprodukten als Bekleidung oder für andere Zwecke. <br /><br />Diese wegweisende, sich auf kleine Fische aus Großzuchten konzentrierende Kampagne ist fürwahr eine '<a href="2009/08/einige-bemerkungen-zu-vegetarismus.html">'Einstiegskampagne</a>'', Teil einer Gesamtstrategie, darauf angelegt, eines Tages für Veganismus als moralischer Grundlinie zu werben. Basierend auf den gegebenen Umständen, werden wir dies von heute an gerechnet in etwa vierhundert Jahren tun, aber wir werden selbst dann sehr schonend dabei vorgehen müssen. Gegenwärtig planen wir ''Kleiner-Fisch-aus-Großzucht-freier Donnerstag'' irgendwann im Jahr 2020. Eine Revolution beginnt mit dem ersten Schritt. <br /><br />Die Menschen werden nicht über Nacht zu Veganern, wissen Sie. Und wir tun alles nur Mögliche, um zu verhindern, dass mehr Menschen anfangen, vegan zu leben, indem wir Veganismus fortwährend als schwierig darstellen und sorgfältig darauf achten, für ihn nicht als Prinzip einer moralischen Grundlinie Werbung zu machen. Wir müssen praktisch denken, nicht bloß ideologisch. <br /><br />Wir müssen bedenken, dass viele von uns jahrelang nicht vegan lebten, weil Tierschutzgruppen, in denen wir uns engagierten, uns erzählten, dass verschiedene Tierprodukte zu essen moralisch vertretbar sei. Es ist wichtig, dass Fehler immer aufs Neue wiederholt werden, sonst wären alle unsere Fehler umsonst gemacht. Anstatt zuzugeben, dass es keinen schlüssigen moralischen Unterschied zwischen Fleisch und Milch oder anderen Tierprodukten gibt, müssen wir weiterhin das Hirngespinst aufrecht erhalten, dass Vegetarismus eine moralisch vertretbare Position ist. Es wäre falsch, die Position zu befördern, dass alle Nutzung von Tieren nicht zu rechtfertigen und Veganismus die moralische Grundlinie ist, und dadurch den Menschen etwas Anzustrebendes vorzugeben, unabhängig davon, wo sie zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt stehen und ob sie bereit sind, ab sofort vegan zu leben, oder nicht. Stattdessen müssen wir sagen, dass Veganismus unterschreitende Normen völlig in Ordnung sind, um die Menschen sich gut fühlen zu lassen. Wir müssen unseren Stempel der Billigung auf das Konsumieren diverser Tierprodukte drücken. <br /><br />Obwohl wir Angelegenheiten grundlegender Menschenrechte als Fragen behandeln, die eine moralisch richtige und falsche Antwort haben (niemand sagt jemals, dass der moralische Status von Sklaverei, Vergewaltigung, Kindesmissbrauch Meinungssache sei), müssen wir stets vorgeben, dass es sich bei Fragen der Tierethik schlicht um eine Sache der Wahl des Lifestyles oder der Vorliebe oder um reine Ansichtssache handele, moralisch nicht erheblicher als die Frage, wohin man in Urlaub fährt oder welche Art Musik man mag. Wir müssen ''Flexitarismus'' bejahen, sonst erscheinen wir zu rigide und riskieren, dass die Leute denken, wir seien <a href="2010/01/oh-mein-gott-diese-veganer.html">''fanatisch''</a>. Es ist wichtig, Veganismus niemals als moralische Grundlinie darzustellen, als das, wozu wir Tieren gegenüber moralisch verpflichtet sind; es ist wichtig, niemals ehrlich zu sein und von vornherein zu sagen, dass wir das Konsumieren<span style="font-style:italic;"> keines</span> Tierproduktes rechtfertigen können. Menschen verdienen Gerechtigkeit, Tiere nur Barmherzigkeit oder Mitgefühl. <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Warum kleiner Fisch?</span><br /><br />Gute Frage! Wir haben uns für kleine Fische entschieden, weil die meisten Menschen Fische nicht niedlich finden und wir dachten, dass sie kleine Fische vielleicht niedlicher als große finden. Und als Anwälte der Tiere sind wir uns des alten Sprichworts ''Niedlich verkauft sich'' wohlbewusst. Wenn man darüber nachdenkt, die meisten Einzelthema-Kampagnen konzentrieren sich auf Tiere, die wir Menschen anziehend finden, ob Babyrobben oder Elefanten, Delfine, Welpen, Kälber, Wölfe usw. Wir haben nicht einmal Tierschutzkampagnen, die sich um Schweine drehen, anlaufen lassen, bevor <span style="font-style:italic;">[Schweinchen] Babe</span> herauskam und Schweine und anderen Nutztiere mit Niedlichkeit punkteten. <br /><br />Obgleich es keinen moralisch erheblichen Unterschied zwischen einem großen Fisch und einem kleinen Fisch gibt (oder zwischen einem Fisch und einer Kuh usw.), haben wir nach reiflicher Überlegung befunden, dass die Öffentlichkeit einfach noch nicht reif für die Vorstellung ist, dass wir überhaupt keinen Fisch essen sollten (oder irgendwelche Tierprodukte), also haben wir uns dafür entschieden, die Sache schonend anzugehen und die Aufmerksamkeit der Leute nur auf kleine, niedliche Fische zu lenken. Und nach <span style="font-style:italic;">Finding Nemo [Findet Nemo]</span> finden mehr Menschen kleine Fische niedlich. Wir müssen die Menschen da abholen, wo sie stehen. <br /><br />Bedenken Sie, wir müssen dies Schritt für Schritt tun. Veganismus ist extrem schwierig. Die großen Tierschutzgruppen sagen es wieder und wieder, also muss es wahr sein, und wir sollten nicht widersprechen. Wie könnten wir nur denken, dass die Menschen alle die herrlichen veganen Speisen, die derzeit erhältlich sind, absolut lecker finden? Wie könnten wir erwarten, dass sie Moral ernst nehmen?<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Warum kleiner Fisch aus Großzucht?</span><br /><br />Das ist leicht erklärt. Es hat drei Gründe: <br /><br />Erstens hat Peter Singer, der Vater der Bewegung, klargestellt, dass Tiere kognitiv nicht so komplex wie wir Menschen sind und infolgedessen kein Interesse am Weiterleben haben. <a href="2009/03/peter-singer-und-die.html">Tiere verstehen nicht, dass sie ein Leben zu haben, und ihr Leben spielt moralisch eine geringere Rolle.</a> Es kümmert sie nicht, <span style="font-style:italic;">dass</span> wir sie nutzen und essen; es kümmert sie lediglich,<span style="font-style:italic;"> wie</span> wir sie nutzen. Für sie spielt es eine Rolle, nicht zu sehr zu leiden und relativ schmerzlos getötet zu werden, nicht aber, am Leben zu bleiben. <br /><br />Nun stehen laut Tierschützern Fische ziemlich weit unten auf der Skala geistiger Fähigkeiten und bekommen folglich nicht viele Punkte auf der ''Wie-nahe-ist-ihr-Selbst-Bewusstsein-dem-eines-normalen-menschlichen-Erwachsenen''-Skala. Demnach ist das Problem an sich nicht, sie zu essen; das Problem ist, ihnen Leiden zu verursachen. Wir können uns den <a href="2008/02/tdlicher-luxus.html">''Luxus''</a>, Fisch zu essen, leisten, wenn die Fische ''human''gezüchtet und getötet wurden. <br /><br />Zweitens sind durch das Konzentrieren auf kleine Fische aus Großzuchten alle möglichen bedeutungslosen ''Siege''garantiert, die Menschen sich beim Konsumieren von kleinem ''Bio-Fisch'' wohler fühlen lassen. Wir bemühen uns, <a href=" Temple Grandin</a> zu überreden, neue Einrichtungen zum Schlachten von Fischen zu konstruieren, und <a href=" Whole Foods</a> verkauft massenhaft Fischleichen und stellt Hinweisschilder auf, dass sie ''wild gefangen'' wurden. So wendet sich das Blatt bereits für Fische! Schon ein Sieg! Und es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis all die großen Tierschutzkörperschaften ein <a href="2010/03/partner-in-sachen-ausbeutung.html">''Toter Bio-Fisch''</a>-Label auf Fischleichen geklatscht haben. Diese Label werden dazu führen, dass mehr Geld in die Taschen jener Körperschaften fließt. Denken Sie nur daran, wie viel ''Bio-Fisch'' leisten wird, den Tieren zu helfen!<br /><br />Drittens glauben wir, um es zu wiederholen, dass die Öffentlichkeit nicht reif dafür ist, mit der Vorstellung umzugehen, überhaupt keine kleinen Fische zu essen. Wir regen lediglich an, dass sie keinen kleinen Fische aus Großzuchten essen. Der Öffentlichkeit fehlt die Intelligenz, über die wir verfügen. Wir mögen denken, dass die Argumente zugunsten von Veganismus ziemlich einfach zu verstehen sind, aber es lässt sich gar nicht ermessen, was für Schwachköpfe die meisten Menschen sind. <br /><br />Uns ist bewusst, dass es einige Anwälte der Tiere gibt, die diese Kampagne kritisieren und vorschlagen werden, dass wir die Öffentlichkeit über Veganismus aufklären sollten; dass wir das Leitbild verändern sollten dadurch, die Diskussion weg von der Behandlung [von Tieren] hin zu ihrem Genutztwerden zu bewegen. Diese Kritiker sind schlicht elitäre Spalter, die nicht zur Kenntnis nehmen, wie unglaublich dämlich die Öffentlichkeit ist. Diese Kritiker begreifen nicht, dass begründeter Widerspruch spaltet. Sie begreifen nicht, wie wegweisend diese Kampagne ist. Erst im April dieses Jahres hat <a href="2010/09/rette-einen-seehund-iss-nicht.html">HSUS eine Kampagne angekündigt, süße Robben durch das Boykottieren von kanadischen Meeresfrüchten und das Essen von Fischen, die in anderen Ländern gefangen und vermarktet werden, zu retten.</a> Und HSUS hat nicht einmal einen Unterschied zwischen kleinen und großen Fischen gemacht! Unsere Kampagne geht da viel, viel weiter, zumindest freitags. Obschon wir uns nicht dafür aussprechen, alle kanadischen Meeresfrüchte zu boykottieren, treten wir für einen Boykott der kleinen Fische aller Länder an Freitagen ein. Wir fordern HSUS in aller Form dazu auf, ihre Kampagne dahingehend zu ändern, kleine Fische aus Kanada <span style="font-style:italic;">und </span>kleine Fische aus allen anderen Ländern zu boykottieren, aber nur freitags, weil wir nicht zu radikal sein wollen. <br /><br />Obwohl es wahr ist, dass viele Menschen einfach Steak, Eier und Eis anstelle von Fisch oder vielleicht ''wild gefangenen'' Fisch von einem ''Bio-Fisch''-Händler essen werden, müssen wir <span style="font-style:italic;">jetzt</span> etwas tun, um Tieren zu helfen, und dies ist das Beste, was wir ausknobeln konnten. <br /><br />Abschließend denken wir, dass diese Kampagne wirklich Anklang finden wird, weil die Leute sehr wenig im Sinne einer tatsächlichen Änderung tun müssen. Wir zeigen ihnen, wie sie ''Anwälte der Tierrechte'' sein können einfach dadurch, kleine Fische aus Großzuchten an Freitagen aufzugeben. Sie werden sich dabei so gut vorkommen, dass sie sich hinsetzen und einen Scheck an eine der großen Tierschutzorganisationen schicken werden. Noch ein Sieg! Und in einem Jahrzehnt bringen wir sie dazu, ihr Bemühen darauf zu richten, an Donnerstagen keine kleinen Fische aus Großzuchten zu essen. Und in einem weiteren Jahrzehnt haben wir sie soweit, mittwochs keinen zu essen. Und so weiter. Und dann werden wir uns auf mittelgroßen Fisch aus Großzucht konzentrieren. Und die Öffentlichkeit wird es niemals voraussehen. Wir sind ja so schlau! <br /><br />Also, für die Tiere, bitte unterstützen Sie unsere innovative Kampagne, der geistig und emotional minderbemittelten Öffentlichkeit die moralische Wahrheit verstehen zu helfen, die nur eine Handvoll von uns zu verstehen vermag. Ja, wir wissen, dass die wahrhaft Elitären und Spalter unter Ihnen an Veganismus als Prinzip einer moralischen Grundlinie festhalten wollen. Und dazu sagen wir: <a href="2010/09/ingrid-newkirk-zum-prinzipientreuen.html">''Scheiß aufs Prinzip.''</a><br /><br />*****<br /><br />Ich kann, offen gesagt, das Denken von Menschen nicht verstehen, die für so etwas wie ''Fleischfreier Montag'' eintreten. Solche Kampagnen machen Unterschiede, wo keine sind, ermutigen allgemein dazu, Tierprodukte zu konsumieren und gehen davon aus, dass die Öffentlichkeit unfähig ist, eine simple Idee zu verstehen. Hören Sie einige Gedanken zum Reden mit Nichtveganern über Veganismus in meinen kürzlichen <a href="; zu diesem Thema. <br /><br />Anwälte der Tiere, die Tierausbeutung insgesamt wirklich ablehnen, sollten nicht Vegetarismus (oder irgendetwas, das weniger als Veganismus ist) als Sprungbrett zum Veganismus anregen. Erstens kennen wir alle viele Menschen, die seit Jahrzehnten Vegetarier sind und niemals Veganer geworden sind, daher ist es empirisch keinesfalls klar, dass Vegetarismus irgendeine Art Übergangsstadium ist. Zweitens tendieren Vegetarier dazu, mehr Milchprodukte und Eier zu konsumieren [mehr, als sie konsumierten, bevor sie auf Fleisch verzichteten]. Diese anderen Tierprodukte verursachen ebenso viel, wenn nicht mehr Tierleid und Tod. Demnach ist hinsichtlich des Ausmaßes von Tierleid eine vegetarische Ernährungsweise mit viel Mich, Eiern usw. möglicherweise nicht besser. <br /><br />Das Argument, dass die Öffentlichkeit Veganismus schwierig findet, ist eine selbsterfüllende Prophezeiung: die großen Tierschutzorganisationen sind hier die Hauptschuldigen, indem sie die Vorstellung, Veganismus erfordere heroische Opferbereitschaft und Willenskraft, permanent bekräftigen. Aber selbst wenn die Öffentlichkeit Veganismus schwierig findet, heißt das nicht, dass sich unsere Botschaft ändern sollte. Wir leben in einer Welt, in der es immer noch viel Rassismus gibt; Menschen finden es schwierig, aufzuhören, Entscheidungen darüber, wer in die moralische Gemeinschaft einzuschließen ist, auf der Basis der Hautfarbe zu treffen. Bedeutet dies, dass wir aufhören sollten, die Botschaft zu befördern, dass aller Rassismus moralisch nicht zu rechtfertigen ist? Natürlich nicht. <br /><br />Wir sollten es stets glasklar machen: Wir können den Konsum oder Gebrauch <span style="font-style:italic;">jedweder</span> Tierprodukte nicht rechtfertigen. Wenn jemand entscheidet, nicht den ganzen Weg zu gehen oder zumindest am Anfang nicht, lassen Sie dies seine oder ihre Wahl sein und nicht das Resultat eines von uns auf irgendetwas, das nicht Veganismus ist, gedrückten Stempels der Billigung. Wir würden dies niemals in Fragen grundlegender Menschenrechte tun; die Tatsache, dass wir es im Zusammenhang mit Tieren tun, ist <span style="font-style:italic;">nichts</span> anderes als Speziesismus. <br /><br />Für eine weiterführende Diskussion der hier erörterten Probleme siehe diese Essays<span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="2009/03/einstiegsargumente.html"> 1,</a><a href="2009/08/einige-bemerkungen-zu-vegetarismus.html"> 2,</a><a href="2010/02/zuerst-vegetarismus.html"> 3</a></span> und meinen <a href="2009/08/vegetarismus-als-ein-einstieg-in-den.html">Kommentar </a>zum Vegetarismus als vermeintlichen ''Einstieg'' in den Veganismus. <br /><br />Der Kampf für Tierrechte ist nicht nur eine Sache des Mitgefühls. Gewiss, wir müssen mit dem nichtmenschlichen Anderen mitfühlen. Aber Tierrechte sind viel mehr als das: sie bedeuten die Position, dass wir die Ausbeutung von Tieren nicht rechtfertigen können, wie ''human'' auch immer die Ausbeutung sein mag. Tierrechte sind im Kern eine Sache von <span style="font-style:italic;">Gerechtigkeit</span>. <br /><br />Machen Sie also <span style="font-style:italic;">jeden</span> Tag zum ''Tierprodukte-freier Tag''. Leben Sie vegan. Es ist besser für Ihre Gesundheit und für den Planeten. Aber was das Wichtigste ist, es ist das moralisch Richtige und Gerechte. <br /><br />Gary L. Francione<br />© 2010 Gary L.

Francione <a href=" </a><br /><br />Liebe KollegInnen, <br /><br />in einem <a href=" des Time Magazine </a>erörtert PETA-Mitgründerin Ingrid Newkirk ''Flexitarismus'' oder ''Teilzeit-Vegetarismus'': <blockquote>Das Ziel ist für viele Aktivisten einfach, mehr Menschen dazu zu bewegen, weniger Fleisch zu essen. ''Absolute Puristen sollten in einer Höhle leben'', sagt Ingrid Newkirk, Präsident von People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). ''Niemand, der Zeuge des Leidens von Tieren wird und den Schimmer einer Hoffnung hat, dieses Leiden zu vermindern, kann eine Position des Alles oder Nichts vertreten. Wir müssen pragmatisch sein. Scheiß aufs Prinzip''</blockquote> Wir können mehrere Beobachtungen über Newkirks Feststellungen machen: <br /><br />Erstens wiederholt sie das <a href="2009/12/die-vier-probleme-des-tierschutzes.html">Mantra der Bewegung des Neuen Tierschutzes</a>, dass Tierschutzreformen tatsächlich das Leiden von Tieren vermindern. Die Reformen, die von PETA und den anderen Gruppen des Neuen Tierschutzes vorangetrieben werden, bieten Tieren zumeist keinen bedeutsamen Nutzen. Sie stellen lediglich eine andere Form der Tierquälerei dar. Jemanden einem Waterboarding [Wasserfolter: simuliertes Ertränken] auf einem blanken Brett zu unterziehen und es auf einem gepolsterten Brett zu tun ist in jedem Fall immer noch Waterboarding. <br /><br />Darüber hinaus würde die Tierindustrie diese Reformen letztlich größtenteils ohnehin einführen, weil sie die Produktionseffizienz im Allgemeinen<span style="font-style:italic;"> erhöhen</span>. Kälbern etwas mehr Platz zu geben oder Alternativen zum Kastenstand zu verwenden resultiert in höherer Produktivität der Tiere, gesenkten Tierarztkosten und einem besseren Saldo für Produzenten. PETA e<a href="2008/07/peta-und-kfc.html">erkennt ausdrücklich an,</a> dass das Vergasen von Hühnern eine wirtschaftlich effiziente Sache ist. Die symbiotiche Beziehung zwischen großen Tierschutzorganisationen und institutionellen Tierausbeutern ist offenkundig, wenn wir sehen, wie beide Seiten in ein Drama verwickelt sind, in dem Anwälte der Tiere eine wirtschaftlich angreifbare Praktik ins Visier nehmen; die Tierindustrie inszeniert einen Scheinkampf; die Reform oder irgendeine Modifizierung der Reform wird schließlich angenommen, weil sie der Tierindustrie nicht schadet und gewöhnlich hilft; die Tierschützer erklären den Sieg; die institutionellen Tierausbeuter sonnen sich im Lob, das sie von Anwälten der Tiere bekommen. Nur die Tiere sind die Verlierer. <br /><br />Zweitens ignoriert Newkirk bequemerweise, dass das unerbittliche Betreiben dieser Tierschutzreformen durch PETA und andere Gruppen des Neuen Tierschutzes und die Behauptungen, diese Reformen machten Tierausbeutung ''humaner'', die Öffentlichkeit sich beim Konsum von Tieren <span style="font-style:italic;">wohler </span>fühlen lassen, und dass infolgedessen der Konsum zunimmt. Interessanterweise ist zu bemerken, dass der Pro-Kopf-Verbrauch von Tierprodukten ansteigt und nicht sinkt. Wenn Gruppen wie PETA <a href=" Temple Grandin</a> einen Preis verleihen oder die Verhökerer von Tierfleisch/-produkten <a href=" </a>oder den <a href=" von KFC [Kentucky Fried Chicken] in Kanada abblasen</a>, weil KFC zugestimmt hat, das Einkaufen von vergasten Hühnern von Produzenten stufenweise einzuführen, was sagt das der Öffentlichkeit? Es ist nichts anderes als ein großer Stempel der Gutheißung im Namen der ''Tierrechte''.<br /><br />PETA hat es Menschen, die bei KFC Kanada oder McDonald's essen oder ''Bio-Fleisch'' oder andere ''Bio''-Tierprodukte bei Whole Foods einkaufen, ermöglicht, sich zu ''Anwälten der Tiere'' auszurufen.<br /><br />Es sollte zunehmend klar sein, dass die <a href="2009/06/bio-fleisch-menschen-sich-beim-essen.html">''Bio-Fleisch''-Bewegung </a>ein gigantischer Schritt rückwärts ist. <br /><br />Drittens versteht Newkirk den wichtigsten Punkt in der Debatte, ob eine klare vegane moralische Grundlinie oder Tierschutzreformen zu verfolgen sind, nicht. <br /><br />Es ist ein Nullsummenspiel. Das heißt wir leben in einer Welt begrenzter Ressourcen. Jeder Cent des Geldes, jede Sekunde der Zeit, die wir auf Tierschutzreformen verwenden, ist weniger Geld, Zeit und Arbeit, die wir auf klares, unzweideutiges Verfechten des Veganismus verwenden. Würden die großen Tierschutzkörperschaften alle ihre Ressourcen auf die Befürwortung des Veganismus verwenden, könnten sie Leiden und Tod durch die Verringerung der Nachfrage [nach Tierprodukten] vermindern und helfen, das Paradigma von der Vorstellung, dass Tiere Dinge sind, die wir nutzen können, solange wir sie ''human'' behandeln, weg und hin zu der Idee zu verschieben, dass Tiere Wesen mit moralischem Eigenwert sind, die wir überhaupt nicht nutzen sollten.<br /><br />Überlegen Sie das folgende Beispiel: Sie haben heute eine Stunde für das Eintreten für Tiere zur Verfügung. Sollten Sie diese Stunde damit verbringen, Menschen zum Essen von käfig-freien Eiern [Eiern aus Bodenhaltung] anzuleiten, oder dazu, überhaupt keine Eier (oder andere Tierprodukte) zu essen? Sie können nicht beides tun, und in dem Maß, in dem Sie den Leuten erzählen – wie es jene Organisationen tun –, dass sie ihre moralischen Verpflichtungen Tieren gegenüber durch das Essen käfig-freier Eier oder anderer ''Bio''-Tierprodukte erfüllen können, garantieren Sie praktisch, dass das Beste, was passieren wird, ist, dass Menschen eine andere Form der Tierquälerei anstatt überhaupt keine Tierquälerei wählen. <br /><br />Die Wahl ist nicht, wie Newkirk suggeriert, die Verminderung von Leiden oder das Fördern von Vegansmus. Vielmehr ist es <span style="font-style:italic;">einzig </span>das Vorantreiben des Veganismus – durch das Arbeiten an der Nachfrageseite der Gleichung anstatt an der Angebotsseite (das Konzentrieren auf Tierschutzreformen) –, das Leiden vermindert – und Tod. <br /><br />Ein damit verbundener Punkt ist, dass nicht nur das Leiden von Belang ist, wie Newkirk suggeriert; das Töten ist ebenso von Belang. Offenbar folgt Newkirk der <a href="2009/03/peter-singer-und-die.html">Anschauung Peter Singers, dass Tiere in den meisten Fällen kein Interesse am Weiterleben haben</a>, sondern nur ein Interesse daran, nicht zu leiden. Ich lehne diese Ansicht als faktisch unzutreffend ab. <br /><br />Zu leugnen, dass jedes empfindungsfähige Wesen ein Interesse am Weiterleben hat, ist absurd. Alle empfindungsfähigen Wesen wollen am Leben bleiben, begehren oder ziehen es vor. Die Tierschutzposition, die Newkirk und Singer vertreten, ist, dass ein Tierleben an sich keinen moralischen Wert hat. Vielleicht ist dies der Grund, warum PETA die meisten der Tiere, die der Verein in seiner Norfolker Einrichtung aufnimmt, <a href="2010/03/acht-tiere.html">tötet</a>. In jedem Fall lehne ich diese Ansicht als speziesistisch ab. <br /><br />Solange die Streitfrage ist, <span style="font-style:italic;">wie </span>wir Tiere behandeln, solange wir denken, dass es gerechtfertigt ist, sie auszubeuten, wenn wir sie ''human'' behandeln, und nicht, dass wir Tierausbeutung nicht rechtfertigen können, <span style="font-style:italic;">wie auch immer</span> ''human'' sie erfolgt, wird das moralische Leitbild sich nicht wandeln. <br /><br />Viertens: Ich verstehe, warum Unternehmen in Sachen Tiere wie PETA für ''flexitarische'' Prinzipien werben und Veganismus feindlich gegenüberstehen. Sie wollen so viele Spender wie möglich. Laut einem Manager des Vereins <a href=" die Hälfte von PETAs Mitgliedern nicht einmal Vegetarier</a>. Wenn Sie wollen, dass diese Leute Beiträge leisten und Sie in ihrem Testament berücksichtigen, müssen Sie ihnen ein gutes Gefühl ob ihrer fortgesetzten Ausbeutung von Tieren vermitteln. Wenn Sie mit Hollywood-Prominenten oder anderen berühmten Leuten, die Tiere konsumieren, auf Du und Du stehen wollen, können Sie keine eindeutige vegane Politik betreiben. Also haben Sie stattdessen eine Position, die jeden einschließt, die aber, gerade weil sie kein Verhalten als moralisch unannehmbar verwirft, bedeutungslos ist. <br /><br />Die moralische Schizophrenie ist erstaunlich. PETA verdammt routinemäßig institutionelle Tierausbeuter, erkennt dann aber nicht an, dass die Konsumenten, die Tierprodukte verlangen – einschließlich jener PETA-Mitglieder, die nicht vegan sind –, die Tierausbeuter sind, welche die Nachfrage überhaupt erst schaffen. <br /><br />Mit einem Wort, es ist traurig, dass die größten Opponenten des Veganismus als moralischer Grundlinie sogenannte Anwälte der Tiere wie Newkirk und Singer (<span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="2010/01/oh-mein-gott-diese-veganer.html">1,</a><a href="2008/02/tdlicher-luxus.html"> 2 </a></span>) sind. Es ist erschütternd, wenn Newkirks Antwort auf prinzipentreuen Veganismus ist: ''Scheiß aufs Prinzip'', oder dass jene, die für prinzipientreuen Veganismus plädieren, ''in einer Höhle leben (sollten)'.'<br /><br />Es ist ein Grund zur Beunruhigung, wenn jene, die am lautesten schreien, dass Veganismus schwierig oder abschreckend ist, sogenannte Anwälte der Tiere sind. <br /><br />Bitte fassen Sie dies nicht als ein Infragestellen der Lauterkeit Newkirks auf. Nur glaube ich aufrichtig, dass sie sehr, sehr im Unrecht ist. <br /><br />Wenn Sie nicht vegan leben, erwägen Sie bitte, es zu tun. Schenken Sie der irrigen Zweiteilung von Fleisch und anderen Tierprodukten keinen Glauben. Es gibt keinen moralisch schlüssigen Unterschied zwischen Fleisch und anderen Tierprodukten. Tiere, die für Milchproduktion verwendet werden, leben generell länger als die für Fleisch gezüchteten, werden aber ebenso schlecht, wenn nicht schlechter behandelt, und enden ihr Leben in demselben grässlichen Schlachthaus.<br /><br />Vegan zu leben ist eicht (entgegen dem, was einige große Tierschutzorganisationen behaupten); es ist besser für Ihre Gesundheit; es ist besser für den Planeten; und, was das das Wichtigste ist, es ist das moralisch Richtige. <a href="2010/03/veganismus-nur-ein-weg-leiden-zu.html">Vegan

I was talking to @kathrynpiquette about annotation and I also tweeted a query to @iipimage about it. @portableant suggested annotorious (something that I know our current MSc student Vassilis Valergas has been examining) and also openCanvas was suggested. Also @aboutgeo mentioned the freeform extension to annotorious developed by @portableant. We started talking about the idea of this being a geospatial problem rather than an image annotation problem and whether frameworks in online GIS were more advanced. A hacking triptych: Rode retable on left, + 2 #rodeimagingevent hack groups huddled behind I think at the core of my interest is the potential for novel discoveries to emerge as a consequence of shared annotation in image space. So, as we envisage in our @ahrcrti project multiple annotations would be created online allowing agreement (and disagreement as proposed previously by @LenaKotoula !). We have been discussing annotation in general elsewhere (and as usual very closely with CHI), and the depositing of these annotations within our institutional repository and the Archaeology Data Service, so I will link that in to this post in the future. Here I will concentrate on some thoughts I’ve had around sketching and 3d annotations. Back in 2010 we published an example of spatially referenced RTI data where we used standard camera matching approaches from graphical modelling to locate an RTI releative to a scanned object. One might also use a photogrammetric approach to cross-reference two or more RTI captures against eachother, with or without the intermediate step of generating three-dimensional geometry. In such an environment one might also interrogate RTI, photogrammetry, laser scan and every other form of data. I have previously proposed an interface like Photosynth for handling this form of interaction. Still, whatever the end magical framework, I think the key factors are the affordances of the annotation environment. I envisage the following scenario: Capture Capture RTI Capture a second RTI from a different position, which may simply be an adjustment of focal length Encode the information to derive a relative co-ordinate system in a standardised way within the RTI metadata – this would employ the EXIF metadata for recording the lens properties and IPTC for location and vector orientation; with these metadata one could derive the relative positions Transfer this metadata to all derivatives e.g. cropped RTI and snapshots, in order that these can be tied together. Annotation Load the RTI into a web or standalone viewer of some kind Generate 2d annotations as usual, but crucially provide keying information to enable viewer settings to link to annotations. For example, you set the specular filter properties and then sketch on some points of interest, perhaps adding point annotations too. You then adjust the filter properties and add some more annotations. These could then be played back and bookmarked. Integration Calculate a relative co-ordinate system linking these two datasets – note: the accuracy of this is not relevant here, only the ability to quantify (or estimate) the accuracy Optionally also bring in true 3d data Provide a visualisation showing cones in space representing the FOV of each RTI Load an RTI viewer canvas into this plane Visualise extant 2d annotations on this plane Allow annotation in the 3d environment. This would allow a sketch to begin with the vector point snapping to a point on one RTI plane and then jump to another RTI plane. In this case the metadata generated would need to capture the RTI viewer settings on all RTIs involved in this annotation process. So, with every new point you could capture the viewer settings. Interestingly one might choose to capture the viewer settings for the collection of RTIs as a whole that were visible at the point at which the annotation was created since these all have an impact on the annotations created. Hmmm. Now time to think about what frameworks already exist. We are still working on our web RTI viewer which is structured around @iipimage but there is the great webGL RTI viewer already by Gianpaolo Palma. Anyway, soup has arrived at the #rodeimagingevent here in St Nicholas’ Church in Tallinn and the hacking continues. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.

I was sat next to @trinkermedia and we were talking enthusiastically about  the physical, tangible and the interactive digital (as usual). Over the last few years we have been digitising very large collections of cuneiform tablets and are mid way through developing an open source Reflectance Transformation Imaging web renderer that will allow interaction with these on mobile devices and desktops. The plan is that we will deploy these via tablets and phones of various form factors in order that the gyroscope and the lighting hemisphere captured from a front camera can be used to provide a sense of placing the digital tablet in its physical surroundings more completely. So, my aim is that, for example, in a room with low lighting captured from the phone the main directional light source vector will be identified from the maximum brightness in a photograph from the front camera and the RTI relighting intensity will be scaled to match that brightness. Once set this orientation should allow the gyroscope to link movement of the tablet to the space within which the movement is happening, and in turn relight the virtual object in a contextual way. We still have a way to go but we have a good handle on the methods to employ. So, watch this space. But back to #mw2014. Javier and I were talking about his work to repurpose Linked Data and also his interest in interactive forms. I have been reflecting on the continuing power of the physical artefact in my life as I finalise the @UoSFLPortus MOOC. I want the MOOC to provide digital experiences of Portus and artefacts, but I also want to encourage the students on the MOOC to make their own interactive objects (more to follow on this soon via the Portus MOOC blog) and also to visit museums collections near where to they live to provide another form of engagement, and finally to think how accessible, touchable objects in the home could stand in for inaccessible, curated artefacts. (We now have the beautiful work of Eric Brockmeyer to stimulate us!). The plan is for the Archaeology of Portus MOOC to have a subsidiary archaeological computing and digital museums flavour, via the blog. So we would be excited to work with others on this in the coming months. Anyway, all this made me think about the other project that is big in my head at the moment – the @Ahrcrti project focused on the RTI viewer. In the last few weeks we have been doing some work on RTI archiving in collaboration with Cultural Heritage Imaging and @ads_update and @UniSotonLibrary – the plan is to enable an easy mechanism to embed RTI repository content in blogs and websites and to link specific annotations via DOIs so that threaded citation and conversation around the RTI interpretations can grow. Again, more on this soon. The question here is, could we physically instantiate the RTI of cuneiforms so that a physical tablet might survive as the carrier for the information long into the future? I am fascinated by the possibility of chance discovery of the tablet, and the intersection of the tablet with a repository. If nothing else it foregrounds the 10 or 20 years quoted in many archiving strategies for research data. I could do the same for information from Portus, perhaps encoding a brick stamp in similar ways.

The symposium, organised by Renato Perucchi and Elizabeth Colantoni at the University of Rochester, will discuss state-of-the-art multidisciplinary issues bridging the humanities and the applied sciences related to 3D modeling, visualization, and analysis including engineering evaluations of complex archaeological structures and data. I will be talking under the broad title “Contemporary Themes in 3D Archaeological Computing”. The paper will focus on examples drawn from our many years of work at Portus. I will introduce the reconstruction workflow described at the time of our BBC documentary, and then consider ways in which the use of such digital approaches can inform and re-orientate efforts to communicate archaeological knowledge. Alongside the learning opportunities on site provided by the Portus Field School we are in the process of developing a Massive Open Online Course for Portus and interactive tours. We have also been exploring a range of approaches for conveying a sense of spatial engagement with Portus for learners and other virtual visitors. 3d and imaging tools, alongside mobile/ pervasive media and web science all have significant roles to play as we attempt to provide meaningful rather than superficial (3d) interactions. If you would like to contribute online or to find out more about these issues follow my @GraemeEarl tweets from the symposium and also follow @PortusMOOC I will post a storify here and the slideshare content is below.

ACRG member, Gareth Beale, has been appointed as Research Fellow at the University of York. Gareth will be based at the Centre for Digital Heritage. In his post as Research Fellow, Gareth will manage and share the coordination of a new international collaboration in Digital Heritage between the Universities of York, Aarhus, Leiden and Uppsala. The Centre for Digital Heritage is a international research centre that brings together researchers to undertake interdisciplinary research in Digital Heritage, including data management, analysis and visualisation. The Centre is open to all researchers in these exciting fields, and to their external collaborators. Gareth has recently submitted his PhD which looked at the use of computational reconstructions for the interpretation of Roman sculptural polychromy. He is the co-Director of the Basing House Project and the OuRTI: Recording British Memorials Project. Gareth’s interests lie in the use of imaging for the understanding of heritage and in technologies for public archaeology. He has worked closely with Winchester School of Art and other artists over the past two years to develop projects to increase the relevance of archaeology and art in the public domain as well as in the research sector. You can read about Gareth’s move on the York website:  The ACRG team are sad to see Gareth leave, but we anticipate some exciting project collaborations in the future. Gareth will be returning to the University of Southampton in 2014 to talk at the ACRG Seminar Series, so watch this blog for the updated timetable for 2013/14.   The post ACRG member moves to University of York appeared first on Archaeological Computing Research Group. ]]> #CAAPerth Day Four /blog/3140/ Thu, 28 Mar 2013 02:08:49 +0000 <Live blog> 11:38 Interesting to get statistics on usage in the field next season – can get at issues then of serendipitous discovery perhaps.

Also discussion of potential impact (good and bad) on evolving archaeology on the site of accessing information before it has been in some way checked or otherwise curated. Also is the immediacy of connection between the field and the spceialists. This relates to ongoing work on fieldwork ethnographies as part of the RCUK Patina Project. Also are there plans for linking in these data to publication. 11:35 Discussion of paper changes leave a record. At pompeii they track all changes. Reminded of tina.ecs.soton.ac.uk/djangopon/ #CAAPerth #patinaproject — Graeme Earl (@GraemeEarl) March 28, 2013 11:30 Q&A: The advantage of paper is that you can see the changes. You can see all the edit history for all records. 11:28 After three seasons of paperless archaeology at Pompeii communiciation and data access between the people working in all roles at the site and beyond has markedly improved. These benefits far outweigh the issues. More info on Cincinnati blog. 11:27 More information relating to this work is available from the Paperless Archaeology blog. 11:25 Clear benefits in terms of transparency, data management, inventory control and awareness as a consequence of the use of ipad tablets. 11:19 Relevant papers from CAA2012: 11:16 Good to compare and contrast the iOS based systems used at Pompeii in Wallrodt paper with OpenDig conftool.com/wac7/index.php… #CAAPerth — Graeme Earl (@GraemeEarl) March 28, 2013 11:08 Greg is reading his notes on use of ipads at Pompeii from his ipad. 11:06 Now in Greg Tucker’s paper: Beyond Tablet Computers as a Tool for Data Collection: Three Seasons of Processing and Curating Digital Data in a Paperless World 10:45 3D PDFs, web models, full resolution obj files etc., all also with locational information in 3D and cartographically. 10:33 You can view thumbnails of multiple obejcts returned by a query or dragged onto the workspace.

Reminded of Daniel Pletinckx’s RadioPast workshop presentation referring to the value of this in the context of V-must findings. 10:14 Next stage is linking exterior and interior models, and linking the models to the underlying data. 10:10 Modelled Williamsburg allows the representation of the town in particular periods. Lisa is now showing the Unity model in a live demo. (Also stumbled across this ) 10:00 Next up Lisa Fischer: Exploring Williamsburg Virtually: Developing an Interactive Model of Williamsburg’s Revolutionary City Neighborhood in 1776 9:58 Q&A suggested that more specific analysis of the types of software and the data created in 3d modelling in archaeology would be beneficial. 9:56 More detail and less interoperability – limited practical implementations of standards despite acceptance of their relevance. For example, London Charter applications only cited in 5 or 6 publications surveyed. Networks of practice (whether naturally developing or funded) are increasingly important. 9:53 In terms of trends there is a focus around large EU funding schemes. There is fast adoption of new technologies (to be expected in this context) and increasing relevance of social media. In terms of presentation there are clear trends in showing research process vs. realistic impression, and in providing more immersive, lively representations. 9:51 Graph analysis of common authorship, and also institutions.

Session starting at 11:00. 10:45 Examining spatial relationships along the street front. 10:42 Explored overlapping isovists to explore movement around the city, and visual overlaps in order to create visibility connections. <@tombrughmans work on analysis of visibility networks that was presented downstairs would be of interest here. 10:35 Recent laser scanning of site will further add to the possibilities of revisiting the site and also analysing its buildings. Now introducing Scalar Space Syntax – examining networks of connectivity in individual houses, an urban neighbourhood, and the whole street network. 10:33 Very little record survives of the 1938 – 1942 excavation and reconstruction of Ostia. This makes analysis hard. Interesting history of development of mapping. Originally focused on isolated, important buildings. Wider environment only considered later – in aprt tied to technological advances and opportunities e.g. vertical photographs from 1940s. 1990s first map of wider Ostial environment – the DAI. 10:27 Next up  H.Stöger – Roman Ostia: interpretation and understanding: what to do with nice maps? (Note: CAA 2013 programme is here). 10:25 Learn more at  10:22 Moved to S14 – Beyond Virtual Reality: documentation, interpretation and understanding of ancient cities. Paper by P. Fleury on A Roman Street at the Time of Constantine : Interactive Visit with Access to Ancient Source Materials. Emphasising need for authentication and transparency. 10:16 Transport networks do not seem to explain visibility networks. Sites with origins ion the Iron Age do not seem to act as hubs but visual control being significant. It seems that sites were taken out of the equation that sued to be hubs in the Iron Age. Ends by demonstrating need to address assumptions in detail in network analyses, and that robust techniques such as ERGMs help with this. 10:12 Summary: there is a clear difference between the Iberian and Roman networks. The networks of visibility fragment over time. Long distance decrease but local visibility increases. Sites with urban status tend to be less prominent. ERGM results – 50 million random networks generated per observed network. 1000 samples. These are very different from the observed ones – to be expected because site location is complex, and clearly non-random. For all periods reciprocity is significant and positive – propensity for inter-visibility. Significant all-in-star effect in Iberian, Republican and Early Imperial periods i.e. the visibility of a given site from others. Outgoing links (all-out-stars) also significant. 10:05 Probability viewsheds allow us to generate probability networks. Global measures of these networks – numbe rof nodes, arcs, clustering coefficient, average degree, connected components etc.. Tom will then look at all the components of the network and then generate random networks and compare them to each other – Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGMs). The random networks can include a hypothesis i.e. where a certain configuration is more likely e.g. more visible. Tom uses the analogy of a box of lego – you have the pieces but you have lost the instructions for a particular model. You keep putting the blocks together randomly. It is unlikely that you will end up with the planned model. But what if you start the process knowing that you want to end up with a particular building – the chance is much larger that you will end up with the hypothesised model based on dependent assumptions. This gives a sense of the processes that may have led to the observed distribution. 10:00 Discussing visibility analysis and the chronology, and also the attributes of each site e.g. urban status, road and river networks, etc. What can we do with these data? We can produce probability viewsheds, in this case via 100 binary viewsheds with random error in DEM. 9:57 Tom is interested in the processes that make these visibility patterns emerge. First endogenous processes e.g. extreme case where visibility is the only factor in site location (this is clearly not realistic but required to critique assumptions) and second exogenous processes – the influence of other site characteristics. 9:56 Tom introducing the AHRC Urban Connectivity Project from which his data derive. 195 sites from Iberian to Late Imperial period in the study area in Baetica, southern Spain. Examing the formal metrics of visibility and also the ones gathered on each site, (and hence taking more account of subjective factors and issues of weather etc.). Limited emphasis on intervisibility in the Roman research in the region – much more on networks of connectivity (roads and rivers) and also questions of urban status, hierarchy etc. In the Iberian period intervisibility (e.g. between lookout points) has been considered. Given the continuity of occupation visibility in the Roman period seems to be a useful focus of study. 9:52 @tombrughmans introducing his talk and emphasising how we go from exploratory to confirmatory techniques – dealing with the lack of neutrality and the dynamism of the interpretations and the data underlying them. 9:49 Moved through to S9 – Complex systems simulation in archaeology. Watching a paper by Tom Brughmans: When exploratory network analysis becomes confirmatory: exploring urban connectivity in Iron Age and Roman Southern Spain 9:40 Final case study is Tewkesbury. Using structural analysis to simulate buildings (Abbey Mill and 1 Mill Bank) based on AutoCAD building surveys. Using finite element analysis using Autodesk Simulation (formerly ALGOR). This takes account of material properties such as compressive strength. Example results – 1 Mill Bank can see displacement of localised areas. Ongoing work includes further FEM, thin sectioning of bricks and studying fabric of earth buldings. 9:37 Second case study is Odda’s Chapel at Deerhurst. There has been installation of remote climate modelling instruments here e.g. temperature, relative humidity, wind direction and wind speed. These data are captured and available in real time. Again photogrammetry and ERT have been used to examine absorption, in the context of the continuous weather readings. Also tried using the ERT on a horizontal plane – this was able to show the different material properties and their variable absorption rates. 9:34 Also undertaking photogrammetry as a means to monitor errosion of buildings over the study period. James introducing one of the case studies – Winchester Cathedral crypt. This floods every year. The photogrammetry has been used to check volumetric record of the building, as a means to contextualise the ERT results. Need to do more work comparing the ERT data to the lab tests conducted under control conditions by the project. 9:30 Parnassus Project has included a stone testing programme – testing absorption rate for stone such as Cotswold Stanway Stone and Wadhurst Stone. Also using Electrical Resistance Tomography to record water ingress and absorption in surviving stone buildings. Using up to 64 probes. The Southampton method has been non-destructive i.e. no drilling of holes – instead a medical paste is used to attach the probes. 9:27 James introduces simulation and analysis of wind driven rain impact on building materials. The Parnassus Project website has further details. Now discussing compressive strength of simulated medieval building materials and structural models. 9:23 In S12 – Three-dimensional computational analysis and simulation in archaeological research. @james_e_miles is talking about The Parnassus Project: Archaeology and Engineering collaboration for 3D data collection and analysis The post #CAAPerth Day Three appeared first on Archaeological Computing Research Group. ]]> #CAAPerth Day Two – afternoon sessions /blog/3087/ Tue, 26 Mar 2013 05:34:49 +0000 I am in a few sessions this afternoon.

This discussed a tool that enabled exactly the form of multiple-term searching. Watch the SAMTLA seminar video here. 14:31 Guus Lange talking now: Beyond metadata; computing archaeological knowledge 14:29 Q&A: mentioned Sebastian Heath‘s nomisma project as an example. 14:23 Holly discussing a University of Southampton resource held on the ADS: Roman Amphora a Digital Resource. This resource has had 370,000 page views this year. Users stay for extended periods on many parts. It is by far the most used resource the ADS hold. There are twice as much as our entire Grey Literature Library (18,000 fieldwork reports). In Holly’s work she has tried to map this dataset several times, due to the complexity of the process and the many possibilities. @leifuss suggested that it should be aligned to locational data for example. Reminded also of this tweet and the surrounding discussion #caauk: @mr56k making linked data dreams come true by skosifying archaeological thesauri #caauk #whyhavewewaitedsolong — leifuss (@leifuss) February 23, 2013   Holly found that even stripping out skos:related it was too complicated. She decided it was  better to create a variety of classifications – need to take the literals (skos:altlabel) and create an RDF node. Big questions: If we start creating nodes for other people’s data this goes beyond our remit Is it better to be useful or preserve the depositors intellectual process, reflected in the archive Future work: Use SKOS thesauri as a base. Using open annotation data model and ontology. Get involved more in SENESCHAL and ARIADNE. 14:15 Update from other session: I get asked this challenging question: How to manage likelihood of truth in a conceptual model? #caaperth #caa2013 — César González-Pérez (@verdewek) March 26, 2013   14:09 GeoNames, DBpedia, Library of Congress, NERC and Ordnance Survey are examples of Linked Data repositories used by the Archaeology Data Service. 14:04 Holly introducing Linked Data work at York. More info on this from the @ArchCRG seminar by Michael Charno available as a video here. 14:01 Moved room. Holly Wright about to start. 13:54 Q&A: Can you quantify uncertainty within this model? Yes but not implemented becuase of lack of agreement over how to ascribe uncertainty values (ironic!). I also asked about whether a provenance framework e.g. PROV had been mapped to this work. The answer is not yet but interest in it. Interesting talk by csic.academia.edu/CesarGonzalezP… #caaperth object oriented data structures for repres space + time < @mikejewell #patinaproject — Graeme Earl (@GraemeEarl) March 26, 2013   13:50 Benefits of employing an object-oriented data structure? CHARM provides the abstract reference model. Formal support: mark temporal features, allow for phases, capture ontic change, good to represent objectivised knowledge e.g. building materials. Representation of ubjective features allows for varying perspectives, captures epistemic change, represents interpretative knowledge. 13:45 We can use object slices – slices of the data object created over time and varying subjectivities, with each linked to the originator of this slice e.g. the name of a person who published an interpretation. Can then use diachronic composition to enable complex entities to be built from simpler ones e.g. Hall + Narthex = Church of Santa Olalla; subsequently elements added and these can also be represented. Because of the use of a conventional object representation we can reuse formal support for navigating object data structures. 13:40 Problem of hegemonic and static representations of the world in digital data structures. Using as an example a 19th C Galician church built on top of a crypt. Varying interpretations – Roman nymphaeum, Roman sanctuary to Cybele, Roman funerary place, Proto-Christian temple, Catholic temple, and deconsecrated monument. Alongside these interpretations lie a conventional phased timeline associated with the material remains and their transformation. How capture this complexity? 13:35 First up Expressing Temporal and Subjective Information about Archaeological Entities presented by C.Gonzalez-Perez The post #CAAPerth Day Two – afternoon sessions appeared first on Archaeological Computing Research Group. ]]> #CAAPerth Day Two – S1 – 3D recording, data capture and visualisation technologies for Rock Art /blog/3057/ Tue, 26 Mar 2013 02:46:40 +0000 Chair(s): Geoff Avern, Jo McDonald Discussant(s): Geoff Avern, Jo McDonald Format: Long Paper Presentation with Roundtable Schedule: Tuesday 26th 10:30 – 15:00 Room: Auditorium Venue: University of Western Australia Club Details from:  <live blog below> 12:35 Finished for lunch. 12:30 Q&A: noting that more data is not necessarily a good thing.

You can end up with problems due to multiple errors. Also noting benefits of using targets for automated registration and hence improved accuracy. Again, back to the specific research questions. These also have an impact on data management. A: I would prefer a system where I had control over the stitching, registration and so on and where it was well documented, and transparent. (Reminded here of CHI work on RTI and empirical provenance and the digital lab notebook) 12:24 Quality measures of 3d data capture – accuracy of data points (range/ coordinate and colour), density of data points and coverage/ continuity of data e.g. influence of blind spots. So think carefully why we are recording? Is it a quick grab (of morphology)? Creating a replica? Is it a reference model i.e. aiming for best accuracy in all domains? Anything working from a fixed position will have blind spots. Also the angle of incidence impacts accuracy so a single position does not allow this to be minimised. Colour data will vary, in addition to range data. Also problem of laser scanners defining edges accurately. 12:19 Geoff Avern’s second mini-paper of the day – “What Information Are We Capturing? And What Are We NOT?” 12:12 Optical tracking systems and self-localising scanners e.g. NDI and Handy Scan. Also talking about structured light, and possible combination of this with triangulation beacons. Also talking about structure/shape form moton e.g. bundler, 123D, MicMac, Fit3D. Also Xapt – a CMOS camera – array of 16 creating a 3000 x 3000 pixels 50 frames per second. Suggesting mounting these on a drone for surveying rock art. 12:09 Geoff Avern talking now – “The Other” 3D Recording Technologies. Discussing laser scanning and photometric stereo and other photographic tools. 12:07 Follow up on my tweet about the 3d print. @iainmckechnie #caaperth @ekansa – discussion here about digital access rights e.g. that 3d print is from digital data from real rock art — Graeme Earl (@GraemeEarl) March 26, 2013   12:01 Q&A: what option do Mirarr people have to edit and annotate? They have embraced it. Particularly the people who have been involved in the field. They want to bring in sacred sites information, walking routes through country, add video links about routes, schools getting more interested, etc. 11:59 Q&A: How deal with finding more image details afterwards, particularly given lots of superimposition? They find that they find most in the field – each image is individually recorded. DStretch is then used later and some additional ones found. 11:58 More details about the project on the Mirarr rock art website. 11:55 Very important to work out a system that allowed the Mirarr to have continuous, almost live action to the data as recorded. 251 sites recorded so far. First level was the basic record, second level more detailed, and third level very detailed recording. 8 days to record one site with 8068 surviving paintings. 11:50 Not sufficient detail from ipads – good for overview. Detail recording via DSLRs. Synchronised time stamps across the data. The system then used the synchronisation to combine the data on a secure online interface. 11:42 Collaboration with Environmental Systems Solutions 11:40 Aim to set up a world class rock art recording programme. Combining academic rock art experts with traditional owners, producing a catalogue, undertaking research – research aims landscape, people and environment, sequence, style and identity, heritage management and conservation. Created a cultural data management system, undertooks survey and developed custom recording forms, looked at synchronising digital capture devices.

Yes – done whenever the rock art sites were in shade where possible. 11:24 Martin Porr and Eleonora Gandolfi talking about UWA/ UoSouthampton collaboration on digital imaging of rock art in the Kimberley. 11:20 Connection collapsed for a while… Back on-line. My question related to what potential there was within their data structures for mediating access to material at a granular, contextual level e.g. only providing access to specific content within the panotour to specific groups. They have considered and implemented a broad data access structure that can respond to specific requirements. They also demonstrated the complexity of balancing different requirements. The question was prompted by our eMob project where we implemented very specific access controls as requested by communities, and subsequent discussions about the ways in which social medai sharing of images and other resources is subverting some access mediation. 10:57 They are using gigapixel imagery and 3d printing, and also tools to create digital annotations in three dimensions.
