Aus der Werkstatt

"Once upon a time the dominant ethic toward domestic animals, rooted in the demands of husbandry and responding to the fundamental problem of life feeding on sentient life, was not don’t eat (of course), but neither was it don’t care. Rather: eat with care.
The care for domesticated animals demanded by the eat with care ethic did not necessarily correspond to any official morality: it didn’t need to, as that ethic was based on the economic necessities of raising domestic animals. The very nature of the human–domestic animal relationship required some degree of caring, in the sense of providing provisions and a safe environment for one’s flock. Care for farmed animals was, to an extent, good business."

Ich hample gerade mit dem "care" herum. Wir haben kein deutsches Wort, das all diese Sätze gleichermaßen mitmacht. Es wird irgendwie mit "kümmern" gehen müssen.
