Essay from the year 2018 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, University of Potsdam (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Animal Studies, language: English, abstract: My aim in this paper is to argue that the term humane killing comforts us human beings in terms of not worrying about the death of the animals that we dispose of and therefore neglect our responsibility towards nature when intervening in its natural cycle. In addition, I want to clarify the term’s meaning and thus its significance. I will support my argument by drawing on the works of scholars that we have covered in class, such as Carol J. Adams and Jonathan Burt. Furthermore, I will divide the term into humane and killing to elucidate what its composition implies.
