Ethicist Kurt Remele
“Animal cruelty also happens in the name of religion”
"Animal welfare and animal-human relationships" is the title of a successful course at Graz University. The renowned ethicist and theologian Kurt Remele from Graz explains why such a course is necessary in today's society and why violence against animals is becoming "normal" and making us blunt.
"Krone": What makes a university course for better human-animal relations necessary at all? Is this deteriorating in our society?
Kurt Remele: Yes, to some extent. Mainly because society is getting used to the fact that and how animals are tortured and abused nowadays. Unfortunately, there are many examples. From animal transportation to factory farming, where even the most ridiculously small improvements for pigs, for example, are stifled, to torture breeding. The latter even applies to dogs and cats, which we call "companion animals" because they accompany us and are so close to humans. Should be.
