Book Description
La fonction de locomotion du cheval présente une importance majeure en raison de l’utilisation de cet animal à des fins sportives et de loisir. Si les affections de l’appareil locomoteur ont fait l’objet de nombreux travaux dans l’espèce équine, une composante héréditaire n’a pour l’instant été démontrée que pour quelques pathologies. L’essor des connaissances sur le génome du cheval au cours des dernières décennies a permis de préciser les aspects génétiques de celles-ci. L’objectif de ce travail est de dresser un état des lieux des connaissances actuelles concernant les aspects cliniques, épidémiologiques et étiologiques de ces maladies héréditaires de l’appareil musculo-squelettique, avec un intérêt particulier vis-à-vis de leur déterminisme génétique. Une première partie porte sur les affections pour lesquelles une mutation a été identifiée, comme la paralysie périodique hyperkaliémique et la myopathie par stockage des polysaccharides de type 1. L’ostéochondrose, dont l’origine multifactorielle fait probablement intervenir de multiples gènes, est développée dans une deuxième partie. La rhabdomyolyse récurrente induite par l’exercice chez les chevaux de course et le syndrome podotrochléaire sont abordés dans une troisième partie. Enfin, un paragraphe est consacré à l’hérédité des déviations d’aplombs. Les récents progrès de la génomique équine laissent entrevoir des perspectives intéressantes quant à l’utilisation des informations présentées par ce travail dans l’objectif de diminuer l’importance médicale et économique des maladies héréditaires de l’appareil locomoteur du cheval.

Animal Rights
Author: Hilda Kean
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 1861894171
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
In the late twentieth century animals are news. Parliamentary debates, protests against fox hunting and television programs like AnimalHospital all focus on the way in which we treat animals and on what that says about our own humanity. As vegetarianism becomes ever more popular, and animal experimentation more controversial, it is time to trace the background to contemporary debates and to situate them in a broader historical context. Hilda Kean looks at the cultural and social role of animals from 1800 to the present – at the way in which visual images and myths captured the popular imagination and encouraged sympathy for animals and outrage at their exploitation. From early campaigns against the beating of cattle and ill-treatment of horses to concern for dogs in war and cats in laboratories, she explores the relationship between popular images and public debate and action. She also illustrates how interest in animal rights and welfare was closely aligned with campaigns for political and social reform by feminists, radicals and socialists. "A thoughtful, effective and well-written book"—The Scotsman "It could hardly be more timely, and its wonderful material is bound to provoke ... reflection"—The Independent "A work of great interest"—Sunday Telegraph "Lively, impressively researched, and well-written ... a book that is timely and valuable"—Times Literary Supplement "A pleasing balance of anecdote and analysis"—Times Higher Educational Supplement

Wild Dog Dreaming
Author: Deborah Bird Rose
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 081393091X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
We are living in the midst of the Earth's sixth great extinction event, the first one caused by a single species: our own. In Wild Dog Dreaming, Deborah Bird Rose explores what constitutes an ethical relationship with nonhuman others in this era of loss. She asks, Who are we, as a species? How do we fit into the Earth's systems? Amidst so much change, how do we find our way into new stories to guide us? Rose explores these questions in the form of a dialogue between science and the humanities. Drawing on her conversations with Aboriginal people, for whom questions of extinction are up-close and very personal, Rose develops a mode of exposition that is dialogical, philosophical, and open-ended. An inspiration for Rose--and a touchstone throughout her book--is the endangered dingo of Australia. The dingo is not the first animal to face extinction, but its story is particularly disturbing because the threat to its future is being actively engineered by humans. The brazenness with which the dingo is being wiped out sheds valuable, and chilling, light on the likely fate of countless other animal and plant species. "People save what they love," observed Michael Soul , the great conservation biologist. We must ask whether we, as humans, are capable of loving--and therefore capable of caring for--the animals and plants that are disappearing in a cascade of extinctions. Wild Dog Dreaming engages this question, and the result is a bold account of the entangled ethics of love, contingency, and desire.

Picturing Animals in Britain, 1750-1850
Author: Diana Donald
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300126792
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
From fine art paintings by such artists as Stubbs and Landseer to zoological illustrations and popular prints, a vast array of animal images was created in Britain during the century from 1750 to 1850. This highly original book investigates the rich meanings of these visual representations as well as the ways in which animals were actually used and abused. What Diana Donald discovers in this fascinating study is a deep and unresolved ambivalence that lies at the heart of human attitudes toward animals. The author brings to light dichotomies in human thinking about animals throughout this key period: awestruck with the beauty and spirit of wild animals, people nevertheless desired to capture and tame them; the belief that other species are inferior was firmly held, yet at the same time animals in stories and fables were given human attributes; though laws against animal cruelty were introduced, the overworking of horses and the allure of sport hunting persisted. Animals are central in cultural history, Donald concludes, and compelling questions about them--then and now--remain unanswered.
