The Act on Animal Protection provides for a general ban on commercial breeding of dogs and cats, with an exclusion of animal husbandries registered in national organisations whose statutory purpose is to breed pedigree dogs and cats. There are no provisions in the Act specifying ’animal welfare standards in husbandries’, but nevertheless it imposes a number of obligations on animal owners as such, e.g. the obligation to provide appropriate living conditions and the obligation to meet the basic needs of animals. The statute defines what is meant by animal abuse and indicates the sanctions for such an offence.

This study critically reacts to the article “Etický význam lidství” (“The Ethical Significance of Humanity”) by Kamila Pacovská (Filosofický časopis, 62, 2014, No. 6, s. 863–875), and it discusses some relevant facts about the extrapolations of “human prejudice” to the domain of animal ethics that remain unnoticed in that article. It is shown that any attempt to found a responsible relation to animals on the basis of anthropomorphising criteria of “species” will be problematic, for the relevant concepts of “fairness” and “respect” will be applied with absurd consequences. An indiscriminate prohibition on killing all animals without distinction, although it may not be easy to justify philosophically, has the advantage of avoiding those absurd consequences.

Due to the principle of sustainable development and placement of the Hunting Law in the system of protection of natural environment, admission of archery as a method of hunting on the territory of the Republic of Poland may raise – according to the author – doubts. Extending the arsenal of hunting weapons by a bow could find a justification only in the situation, when, based on independent scientific research, it would confirm the thesis that the bow can be effective for purposes of the hunting economy and can constitute a weapon at least as humanitarian and safe as a hunting firearm.

W historii kina można znaleźć kilka zaskakująco podobnych scen z końmi, krowami czy kozami stojącymi lub leżącymi sobie jakby nigdy nic na meblach w mieszczańskich wnętrzach. Najbardziej znane pochodzą ze "Złotego wieku" Luisa Buñuela ("L’Age d’or", 1930), "I znowu źle" z Flipem i Flapem ("Wrong Again", 1929) oraz "Świat się śmieje" Grigorija Aleksandrowa (1934). Wydaje się, że siła oddziaływania i popularność tych scen leży w tym, iż łamią one społeczne tabu – normy współżycia między ludźmi i czworonogami, co prowadzi do komicznych sytuacji, ale również i w tym, że odwołują się do tradycji baśni, proponując nam łagodne oderwanie się od rzeczywistości.

EN

In the history of the cinema there are several surprisingly similar scenes with horses, cows or goats standing or lying in a relaxed fashion on furniture in bourgeois interiors. The most famouscome from "L’Age d’or" (1930) by Luis Buñuel, "Wrong Again" (1929) with Oliver and Hardy and "Moscow Laughs" (other English title: "Jolly Fellows" /1934/) by Grigori Aleksandrov. It seems that the impact and popularity of these lies in the fact that they break the social taboo dealing with the standards of coexistence between humans and animals, which leads to comic situations, but the popularity lies also in the fact that this is a link to the tradition of fairy tales, offering us a gentle detachment from reality.

The aim of the paper is to review the ancient sources devoted to the sea monster called κάμπη (f. ā-stem). Some researchers believe that it is also attested as κάμπος (n. es-stem). The zoonym in question, so named by the reason of a similarity of the marine animal to a caterpillar, evidently derives from the verb κάμπτω ‘to bend, curve’. The dramatist and philosopher Epicharmus of Kos (ca. 530–440 BC) was probably the first Greek writer who mentioned the sea monster κάμπη. Such a supposition is confirmed by the gloss κάμπη· κῆτος παρὰ Ἐπιχάρμῳ, registered in Hesychius’ lexicon (5th–6th c. AD). According to most modern lexicographers, the alternative form κάμπος n. ‘a sea monster’ is attested in one literary work in the form of the genitive plural καμπέων (Lyc., Alex. 414). The author intends to verify whether the alleged variant κάμπος (n. es-stem) is an authentic lexical item or a doubtful guess.

Since 2011, Poland was preparing for the first cases of African swine fever on its territory. As confirmed cases of the disease were reported increasingly close to Poland’s eastern border, laboratory testing for ASF in boars was carried out in the border area (along the northern border with the Kaliningrad Oblast and the eastern border with Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine). The first case of the ASF virus in boars was confirmed at the beginning of 2014 and since then Poland has continued to fight this disease.

Reading Othello Through the Prism of Conceptual Metaphor Theory: Animals as Source Domains

This paper aims at reading Shakespeare’s play Othello through the prism of cognitive linguistics, more specifically through the lens of conceptual metaphor theory. Metaphorical linguistic expressions that have animals in the source domain are extracted from the play so that matters of race and gender could be discussed from below the level of words, where cognition and conceptualization occur. As the analysis of metaphorical linguistic expressions progresses, the representation of evil will appear to be intertwined with the perception of gender and race, becoming yet another cognitive interest of the literary text. While African American studies, critical race theory, post-colonial studies, Marxist and feminist readings have immensely benefitted the comprehension of the play, conceptual metaphor theory promises to explore and explain how a derogatory perception of “Other” emerges in Othello, along with the offensive language that embodies it. Additional relevant concepts that account for the disturbing pace of the plot towards the catastrophe and tragic end are indoctrination and manipulation. These are specifically related to Iago’s perceptual playing around with unstable and highly sensitive notions such as race, gender, fallen virtue, degraded and demonic human nature, which he presents through disquieting mental images conveyed by powerful metaphorical language.

This article examines the presence of animals in opera theatre, offering a critical reflection on the conditions under which they are either subjectified or instrumentalized through artistic practices. The discussion is grounded in case studies of both Polish and international opera productions from the past three decades. These include D’ARC, directed by Krystian Lada at the Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego (2024); The Ring of the Nibelung, directed by Dmitri Tcherniakov at Staatsoper Unter den Linden (2022); and large-scale productions by the Wrocław Opera staged at the Hala Ludowa since the 1997. The author considers both the representation of animals and the implications of their actual involvement in artistic performance. The analysis is framed within a zoocentric perspective, which challenges traditional anthropocentric approaches to the study of art. Taking into account the performative turn in contemporary theatre – crucial to the evolution of modern opera – as well as the growing influence of posthumanist thought within the field of animal studies, the article draws on theoretical frameworks developed in the study of dramatic and postdramatic theatre, as well as performance theory. Additionally, scholarly work from the field of film studies, which often incorporates methodologies rooted in interdisciplinary animal studies, serves as a valuable point of reference.

In Henryk Sienkiewicz’s literary works motifs of animals appears in some displays. The map and typology of animals arise from topography and serve principle of realism as a way of describing reality. The writer exposes “duels” between animals and a human being. The animals (bull, bear, lion) are treated as a threat to human beings, but Sienkiewicz is also sensitive to their suffering and death. Apart from hunter’s perspective and weakly used formula per analogiam ad humanum in Sienkiewicz’s works considerable dose of “imagination of sympathy” according to J.M. Coetzee’s idea is visible.

PL

W pisarstwie Henryka Sienkiewicza motywika animalna przejawia się w kilku odsłonach. Mapa występowania i typologia zwierząt wynikają z uwarunkowań topograficznych i służą przyjętej zasadzie realizmu jako sposobowi oglądu i opisu rzeczywistości. Ze szczególnym upodobaniem eksponuje pisarz pojedynki człowieka ze zwierzęciem, który stanowi dla niego zagrożenie (bykiem, niedźwiedziem, lwem), ale również podejmuje temat cierpienia zwierząt „stowarzyszonych”, zwłaszcza konających na oczach czytelnika. Mimo fokalizacji męskiej (perspektywa myśliwego) i raczej miernie wykorzystanej formuły per analogiam ad humanum, jest jednak w dziełach autora Trylogii doza „wyobraźni współczującej” (Coetzee).

The article of Sara Kruszona entitled The Theater of Death treats the spectacular-theatrical character of collective hunts. The author puts forward the thesis that these hunts can be read as a form of a spectacle. The starting point for consideration was the article Customs and hunting ceremonies in collective hunts, derived from the website of the Hunting Signals Group, “Hagard”. This text is a kind of a scenario of hunting ceremonies taking place during collective hunts. By quoting its fragments in his text on the Theater of Death, the author proves the thesis about the pageantry of hunting rituals. Events which take place during hunting, their organization and arrangement, whose important aspects include tradition and ritual character, interpreted as a kind of spectacle. It was similar to the ancient venatio. The author also refers to the ancient roots of performances with the participation of hunters, i.e. venatio, described by Miroslaw Kocur in his book entitled The Roots of the Theater. A particularly important argument for the possibility of considering hunting as a form of a show is the hunters’ awareness of role–playing and audience presence. This can be understood by guests invited to the hunt as well as opponents of hunting, or as a community focused on their activity and ready to criticize it. The awareness of the presence of spectators determines the obvious awareness of playing whether the hunters perform a specific social function in the spectacle called hunting. The finale of this performance, played according to a strictly defined scenario and with strictly assigned roles, is pokot. The author draws attention to the fact that the system of animal bodies and all activities related to them resemble a specific form of a spectacle – anatomical theater.

Having analysed Cicero’s opinions about wild animals demonstrated in some of his works (De finibus bonorum et malorum; De natura deorum; Tusculanae disputationes), we may conclude that on the one hand a human as a rational being is definitely opposed to other living creatures that just follow their carnal instincts, on the other hand even among representatives of various species of animals one can observe behaviour to some extent rational, or even “ethical”, that make them similar to human beings. We may explain this phenomenon with the concept based on the Stoic doctrine of rational or even somehow divine character of nature that contains in itself elements of gradation, and allows the presence of divine ratio in particular beings to differ in intensity, what locates animals in the hierarchy of beings slightly lower than the humans.

Amidst the many topics important for the shaping of character of adolescents in Original Stories, Mary Wollstonecraft places such important issues as our attitude towards animals. She wants to convince the readers that not only should we not hurt animals but also offer them our aid. The education that sensitises us to the fate of animals is an important element of moral education. Being kind for the beings of other species is what makes us better, more compassionate. And reversely being cruel towards animals turns us into brutes capable of hurting also people. Tormenting animals is moreover inconsistent with God’s will and leads to the infliction of completely unnecessary and senseless suffering. Which is why it deserves severe condemnation.

The article juxtaposes two explanations of the ancient phenomenon of sacrifice, one of which, formulated by René Girard, emphasizes the aspects of scapegoating and transference of people’s violent inclinations, while the other, developed by Jonathan Klawans and focused on the ancient Israeli sacrificial customs, attributes chief significance to the notions of purity, defilement, and achieving the state of imitatio Dei by the offerer. Though these explanations are at odds in many respects, with Klawans being vocally critical of Girard’s approach, the article seeks to present both of them as applicable to the context of a contemporary sacrifice depicted in Adele Wiseman’s novel, The Sacrifice. Its protagonist, the article argues, finds a way of blending these two orders together largely by the use of the mental figure of the animal, the projection of which onto his victim allows him to perceive her in dualistic manner, as simultaneously sacred and wicked. In the light of this, the ostensibly morally sanctioned practice of ancient Abrahamic sacrifice is shown to contain an unaccounted for potential to instigate ruinous acts, and the figure of the animal, within a situation characterized by the blurring of boundaries and distinctions, with which a sacrificial crisis is unalterably associated, attains an ambiguous, if not sinister, significance.

On the grounds of Chełmoński’s declarations and the opinions of the individuals who knew him it can be concluded that the painter treated both humans and animals as the fruit of Divine creation. Such a conviction was of particular importance over the period of the heated debate on Darwin’s theory of evolution. Hence the question whether this attitude has ever found a visual expression in Chełmoński’s oeuvre? The discussed study analyzes works representing humans and animals painted in the 1890s when on many occasions the artist displayed his perception of the world as being in compliance with the letter of the Holy Scriptures.

This article analyses how animal characters were presented in the novel Crobinhoodovi by Dunja Kalilić, which belongs to the trend called ratni dječji roman in Croatian literature and shows the Serbian aggression against Croatia. The attention was paid in particular to the issue of stereotypes. The work consists of six parts. The first one is dedicated to the development of Croatian children’s animal studies. The second part shows the ways of portraying the war in Croatian literature for the youngest. The third part focuses on stereotypes about animals, the fourth one describes the stereotypical images of animals and people presented in the writer’s work, and the fifth part deals with national stereotypes. The last part is a summary of the considerations and presents the conclusion that the novel Crobinhoodovi makes it a goal to properly shape the child’s worldview, which is achieved by building and consolidating the negative stereotype of the Serbian soldiers.

This article analyses three stories from the book De fronteras by Salvadoran writer Claudia Hernández: Mediodía de fronteras, Carretera sin buey and Lázaro, el buitre, in the light of Kafka’s animal narratives in which conventional human perspectives on animals and animality are subverted, thus configuring a gaze of their own. A gaze that in Hernández’s stories, through the narrator’s voice, allows us to imagine a symbiosis between the animal and the human.

The aim of the article is to try to answer the question whether love between people and animals can take the form of not only feelings, but also relationships. In the article, we show that such a relationship is possible, although it is a specific relationship as it connects two beings belonging to different species. From the human side, it resembles the caritas relationship between human beings. Man brings to it selfless care, sacrifice, patience, tenderness and a feeling of love. Animal, on the other hand, brings to it a feeling of love and attachment that creates a „permanent positive feeling attitude”. This permanent positive feeling attitude is the animal equivalent to the human attitude of love. Animals cannot adopt an attitude of love towards their guardian as they lack intellect and will. However, they seem to be able to give him a certain kind of love that is characterized by more permanence than the feeling in the usual sense of the word. We have called this type of love „the permanent positive feeling attitude”. This is a unique kind of love that the animal directs to its closest guardian – the one it has „chosen” to be its master. To sum up, the human-animal relationship has the form of caritas from the human side, and the form of a permanent positive feeling attitude from the animal side. The relationship itself is called by us a „unilaterally personal caritas relationship”.

In philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas and the Consequential Thomism we do not find any remarks concerning reciprocal references between man and animals. The entire attention is focused on mutual relations between people and God. This, to some extent, is understandable. Interpersonal references influence human happiness in the most significant way. Man would not be able to exist without other people, to build a family, work, enjoy life. But genuine reality is something more than personal beings. There are other beings, not only man, whose life and wellbeing influence human life. From man’s status as a reasonable being and ability to show empathy follows obligation to take care of the nature. He is supposed to care for animals not only with regard to his own existential situation and that of future generations. As Aristotle claims, useful love (friendship) is usually short-term and is not a genuine love. It does not include these domains in which there is no possibility for human to achieve benefits. Even more clear it is visible in love (friendship) for the sake of pleasantness which is the most fragile of all domains of love. Since it arises most frequently among young people this love is prone to changes as the moods are. Animals deserve human’s care and love regardless how much benefits or pleasure they supply to man. They deserve it because their ontic structure is real, good and beautiful. Love is a gift which we freely give to the other beings. It is a skill. Especially beautiful is love caritas which is expressed by selfless in giving ourselves without expecting anything in return. Selfless love is taught by these beings which need protection and care because they are not able to care for themselves. Among them, in majority, are sick and disabled persons, children and also animals. Analysis of the texts of St. Thomas and M. Gogacz shows that speaking about the relations of love and animals is not an absurd. Both of them offer suggestions that enable to understand this relation better. For Aquinas it is connaturalitas, for Gogacz it is extended meaning of caritas. Thus, none of these two philosophers would agree to admit animals a status of persons. What follows is that none of them would agree to denote a human-animal relation a friendship. Animals do not poses the intellect and will in their ontic structure and hence they are not able to experience any domain of spiritual love. They may – as it seems – build a relation of connaturalitas, experience the emotion of love, con-constitute a relation caritas, which on their part is a “steady positive affective attitude”. This “steady positive affective attitude” is something more than the feeling of love and is much more of steadiness. It is a real relation which, on the part of animal, is a steady attitude to love and affection (attachment). On the part of man it has a shape of love caritas. This relation does not link an animal with each man, not even with people known and liked. It links an animal with the closest carer, the one who is accepted by animal as its carer. This bond is particular, unique, reciprocally adaptive. Loss of a caregiver causes pain to animal. Sometimes animals get sick and even pass away too soon when separated from their caregiver. Carers also painfully experience separation when they lose animal in the result of its illness, accident or elderly age. It shows that a man-animal relation is something crucial. It contributes to the wellbeing of animal and happiness of man. It is important hence for man not to ascribe human feelings, emotions, strives and intentions to animals. Even more significant issue is to avoid making a mistake in adopting improper measure for love – to love animals more than people. Caritas with regard to animal cannot be considered the same caritas as the one related to other man. Such as distinctive is the power of amor towards God than towards human, that analogously should the power of love towards human be distinctive from love towards animal. Moreover, this love should be communicated in another way. Turning again to Gogacz’s thought we may conclude that man should love God proportionate to God’s nature, man proportionate to man’s nature and – let us add – love animal proportionate to animal’s nature.
