Playing God? (by William Lynn)
Last week I participated in a live broadcast that focused on the ethics and politics of killing some animals for the benefit of others.
For example, should we kill sea lions to save salmon, coyotes to protect sheep, wolves to safeguard cattle, or cats to preserve song-birds? These are the kinds of questions we addressed.
Hosted by Emily Harris and David Miller, ‘Playing God?’ was an episode of Think Out Loud, a fascinating programme of Oregon Public Broadcasting.
You can visit the ‘Playing God?‘ webpage to listen to the show, as well as add your comments to the interactive blog.
cheers, Bill
