The concept of canine consent is far more than simply a buzzword in modern dog training practices. In its current form, consent is a distinctly human concept, designed by humans and for humans. Looking beyond species boundaries can help us not only consider concepts of canine consent and autonomy, but it can also help us to apply these concepts in our everyday interactions with dogs, which is fundamental for any professional working with dogs as well as for everyday dog caregivers.

Harald Lesch und Axel Kleidon sind sauer: Ein ums andere Mal versuchen Verantwortliche in Politik und Wirtschaft so zu tun, als könne man die Gesetze der Natur einfach ignorieren. Deshalb sprechen die beiden Physiker hier Klartext: Die Natur verhandelt nicht, sie ist nicht Partei, sie lässt sich nicht vereinnahmen. Sie folgt auf der ganzen Erde denselben allgemeingültigen Gesetzen – und die müssen unsere Leitplanken sein beim Umgang mit dem Klimawandel.

Jusqu'à récemment, les scientifiques se sont contentés d'étudier la norme mâle et nous ont livré ainsi moins de la moitié de l'histoire de l'évolution. Cette immense zone d'ombre ne relève pas seulement du sexisme ou d'un problème intellectuel : c'est un sujet de société et de santé publique, puisque, du fait de notre méconnaissance des corps biologiquement femelles, nous savons moins bien soigner les femmes que les hommes. On ne pouvait pas en rester là.
