Download or read book Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics written by Kenneth R. Valpey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides both a broad perspective and a focused examination of cow care as a subject of widespread ethical concern in India, and increasingly in other parts of the world. In the face of what has persisted as a highly charged political issue over cow protection in India, intellectual space must be made to bring the wealth of Indian traditional ethical discourse to bear on the realities of current human-animal relationships, particularly those of humans with cows. Dharma, yoga, and bhakti paradigms serve as starting points for bringing Hindu—particularly Vaishnava Hindu—animal ethics into conversation with contemporary Western animal ethics. The author argues that a culture of bhakti—the inclusive, empathetic practice of spirituality centered in Krishna as the beloved cowherd of Vraja—can complement recently developed ethics-of-care thinking to create a solid basis for sustaining all kinds of cow care communities.

Book excerpt: About the Book The book, "Atlas Animal Genetic Resources of India", is an original work through a collective efforts of the authors who themselves carried out the phenotypic and genetic characterization of breeds of different livestock and poultry species. The book is based on review of published and unpublished information on different breeds, compilation of own data collected by the authors through field based studies. The book describes a total of 174 breeds and populations including all the extant and newly described ones. The book also describes the details of each of the livestock and poultry species including their history of origin and domestication, geographical and demographic distribution, ecology and environment, genetic diversity, livestock production system and socio-economic importance under Indian Aariculture. These concepts have been supported by quality photographs. Within each species, all the extant breeds and newer breeds and populations known till date have been described for their origin and distribution, synonymous names, geographical location, population distribution, herd and flock structures, phenotypic and morphometric descriptions. The growth and body weights, production and reproduction parameters have been described. The present trends in population growth and present status of the breeds based on population estimates and percentage of females being bred pure has been given for each breed and populations. The photographs from left side of the animals of both and female sexes have been given. Majority of the photographs were authors own collection and others have been taken from the Photographic Unit of National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources. The book contains 274 pages of comprehensive text on different species and breeds. There are 213 references quoted for the literature referred for the compilation of the Atlas. The Atlas also contains 435 quality coloured photo plates, maps and figures that were required to explain the status and distribution of the breeds. All the authors have equal contribution beginning from the conceptualization, compilation and editing of the manuscript.

Download or read book Animal Intimacies written by Radhika Govindrajan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A delightful read [and] an important addition to human-animal relations studies.” —Anthropology Matters What does it mean to live and die in relation to other animals? Animal Intimacies posits this central question alongside the intimate—and intense—moments of care, kinship, violence, politics, indifference, and desire that occur between human and non-human animals. Built on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in the mountain villages of India’s Central Himalayas, Radhika Govindrajan’s book explores the number of ways that human and animal interact to cultivate relationships as interconnected, related beings. Whether it is through the study of the affect and ethics of ritual animal sacrifice, analysis of the right-wing political project of cow-protection, or examination of villagers’ talk about bears who abduct women and have sex with them, Govindrajan illustrates that multispecies relatedness relies on both difference and ineffable affinity between animals. Animal Intimacies breaks substantial new ground in animal studies, and Govindrajan’s detailed portrait of the social, political and religious life of the region will be of interest to cultural anthropologists and scholars of South Asia as well. “Immerses us in passionate case studies on the multiple relationships between Kumaoni villagers and animals in Uttarakhand.” —European Bulletin of Himalayan Research “A memorable and innovative ethnography.” —Piers Locke, University of Canterbury
