277. Religion and Animals
This course analyzes what religions have had to say about human relationships with other animals and whether religious traditions have included or excluded animals from humans' moral responsibilities. Topics include an exploration of animals in story and animals as religious symbols; an exploration of how different human animals are from nonhuman animals; and a look at how religious traditions can foster ethical regard and compassion for animals.
