Ethos: The Practical Ethics Blog

Readers of the Practical Ethics Blog may find the following site of real interest. It is Tierethikblog, an international blog and online journal about animal ethics. It is located in Germany, many of its features and posts are available in both English and German, and it is developing a wonderful set of links and resources. I will be adding Tierethik to my weekly reading list of blogs, and want to congradulate them on a job well done!

Here is how Tierethik describes itself.

---

The Animal Ethics Blog is a bilingual online journal publishing articles related to animal ethics.

Blog articles are grouped in the following sections: Essays, Interviews, Literature, Proceedings, Science, Today´s Thinkers, Upcoming Events and Miscellaneous. After publication these articles are open for online discussion.

The journal was established and is run by the Interdisziplinäre Arbeitsgemeinschaft Tierethik (IAT), which is an initiative mainly consisting of Heidelberg University students but includes people of different backgrounds who want to offer a neutral discussion platform on issues concerning the moral status of animals.

Articles are written in English or German. Authors are students, IAT members, researchers and other people who want to support the discussion on animal ethics competently. In principle, The Animal Ethics Blog is open for everyone to write and submit an article.

After submission, an article has to undergo a closed review by IAT who has to grant permission before it will be published on The Animal Ethics Blog. Also all comments on articles are reviewed previous to publication.

The views expressed by the authors in their articles are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the Interdisziplinäre Arbeitsgemeinschaft Tierethik, the IAT’s members or of anyone else associated with the IAT.

Please note: Any comments containing expletive language; personal attacks, in particular regarding the sexuality, gender, race, religion or nationality of another person; any illegal information or material; or any comments that contain subject matter deemed inappropriate by the website administrators will not be published on The Animal Ethics Blog.
