“…Orams (2002) declares that the sharing of food with animals is a spiritual, reciprocal, and natural parenting response across human cultures. Feminist scholars in particular have embraced this refrain, critiquing the hands-off approaches advocated by the liberal, justice-based slant to animal rights (Noddings 1984;Curtin 1991;Clement 2003). Their views are substantiated by anthropologists who posit that the provision of small amounts of food to attract wildlife has in all likelihood featured in human settlements for millennia (Kellert 1997).…”

In this article, we develop a republican framework for relational animal ethics, recently popularized in Donaldson and Kymlicka's Zoopolis. This republican framework departs from the focus on negative rights that dominate liberal animal rights theories, especially as concerns our relations to wild animals. Our proposed framework appeals to a republican standard of non-arbitrariness, or non-domination, for human interferences with such animals. This legitimation framework is more attentive to relations of care and of dependency between the species, which we contend fits the growing field of relational animal ethics. At the same time, it requires

“…Moreover, according to this philosophy, women are naturally immersed in an ethic of care as they are able to develop through their upbringing and social conditioning a relational perspective to the 'other' (Curtin, 1991). In this sense, ecofeminism makes available to humans an experience of the suffering of the individual animal, and therefore embraces an ethical perspective that condemns the recreational practice of hunting.…”

Through a discussion of the perceptions of hunters within a New Zealand tourism context, this paper explores how different perspectives of the 'connection' between hunter and prey are performed by participants and analysed by scholars using distinct ethical approaches. It attempts to contribute to the conversation about hunting ethics within the tourism and recreation fields by discussing the limitations of environmental ethical positions involved in analysing hunters' narratives and performances while engaging with their prey. An analysis of the sublime environment in which the hunting performance takes place proves to be central to the discussion of this sensual engagement with the hunted animal. It is argued that the contradictory feelings that sometimes prevail within hunters when it comes to the relationship between loving and killing must be considered in this kind of research and that some hunting practices are undoubtedly a way to feel close to, and engaged with, the target animals that are offered respect. Hunting's expressions as dynamic cultural performances serve to generate fruitful discussions, contributing to an understanding of broader tourist relationships with nonhuman animals and the ethical issues involved in hunting practices.

“…Moreover, such forms of intelligence can also be used to approach animal issues in a contextual way. In this sense, some eco-feminists propose a position that-avoiding any form of universalism-takes into account the specific situation (Curtin 1991;Twine 2014). This is done with the intention of gaining a deep understanding of the issue, and without justifying oppressive practices attempts to find alternative solutions.…”

An eco-feminist perspective on the co-existence of different views of seals in leisure activities

This study adopts an eco-feminist perspective and investigates leisure activities involving seals occurring in the area of Tromsø, an Arctic town in Norway. The aim is to contribute to the discussion of the existence of various conceptualisations of wild animals, with particular attention to their implications in terms of animal welfare and wellbeing, and the promotion of specific ways we as humans view wild animals and ourselves. The data was collected through promotional material, local media and history literature consultation, and participant observation. The results suggest four co-existing conceptualisations of seals: as part of the local cultural heritage, as prey and pest, as friends and pets, and as entertainers. These conceptualisations are discussed in relation to the components of the leisure experience (entertainment, education, self-identity construction), animal welfare and wellbeing, and the ethical implications of the way the local people perceive the seals and view themselves as humans.
