Animal Rights
Week 3 | M, Tu, W, Th, F | Hultquist 201B | Ages 14 and up
Should we raise animals for food on "factory farms"? Should animals be kept in zoos? Should animals be used in medical experiments? Should pets receive expensive, live-saving operations when many people are denied medical services? Should large-game trophy-hunting be banned internationally? Should extinct animals be brought back into existence as that becomes possible through genetic engineering? The class explores these and other questions through exposition and discussion.
