[Ethical aspects of man and commerce(Literary overview 2000/2001) Literature report on the new approach of the Archives on ethics toward animals, nature and the environment].
The question how the volume of the annual report could be reduced in the face of a continuous increase in literature has been discussed in the past. But now, we have arrived at a reduction of one-third which could only be achieved through far-reaching neglect of English-language articles and especially of periodicals. The scope of topics, reinforced over the years, has been maintained and should facilitate the orientation of the reader. In the continuing ethics-boom, a change seems to be in the offing. While dealing with the animal-epidemics, the animals themselves were, aside from consumer protection interests, at least of some concern. In the bio-ethics discussion human well-being and dignity have asserted themselves as the almost exclusive issue. At any rate, the various ethics-commissions have been installed solely for representing human interests, and it is conspicuous how the voices speaking in favour and for justice of non-human life are becoming lesser and softer. The report's central goal remains the intent to introduce and comment recent published developments in the man - animal relationship.
