Animals as a Tool Used by Mankind
Jonová, Kateřina ; Halama, Jindřich (advisor) ; Keřkovský, Pavel (referee)
I've chosen Animals as a tool used by mankind as a topic for my thesis. The reason to choose this topic is my closeness to it because of my education in fields of ecology and ethics. I presume, that it would be interesting to connect gained knowledge from ecology and my current study of bioethics. The aim of my thesis is to find out, discover, explain and prove, whether and to what measure is it justified to use animals in favor of a human. I would like to try to describe most important aspects of this topic in my thesis. I'd try to answer to this aimed goal through collected information from worldwide and local authors. My thesis will be structured in three main parts. First part will be aimed on animal rights, in a second part, there will be desribed in which ways we use animals and in a third part there are stated ethical and theological aspects of this problem.

Arguments and bases of organizations defending animal rights - can we find rapprochement with the protection of nature?
Vohnoutová, Pavla ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Daněk, Tomáš (referee)
In today's society prevails superior attitude to animals that are seen as mere resources, and this work seeks to highlight this issue . The theoretical part shows where this attitude has its roots and then moves into the context of environmental ethics, while trying to show the views that contradict this position. Practical part is looking for arguments and basis of organizations defending the rights of animals and their possible rapprochement with the protection of nature. The chosen method is to analyze the websites of selected organizations defending the rights of animals, focusing on what the organization published on their websitet and what is missing. The main finding is that the central idea of animal rights organizations is the intrinsic value of animals as beings with a right to a dignified life and with the right to satisfy their natural needs. Protection of the nature on the contrary often prefers to the value of each individual animal the value of nature as a whole. Possible rapprochement with the protection of nature can then be found mainly in areas where there is a distortion of values as both protectino of animals and protection of nature. Key words: animal liberation, animal rights, intrinsic value, protection of animals, protection of nature, organizations defending animal rights

The human rights and the animal rights
JIROUŠKOVÁ, Tereza
The thesis, which deals with the issue of human rights and animal rights, is divided into three basic chapters. The first chapter offers a summary of the historical development of human rights and seeks to highlight the coherence of this development with the current understanding of human rights. The second chapter focuses on the development of our relationship with animals. This chapter describes the historical, philosophical and religious aspects of the relationship. The final chapter focuses on the current arguments for animal rights. Part of this chapter is devoted to the animal rights opponent Tibor Machan, according to whom the animals do not need any rights.

Christian and vegetarianism (Man{\crq}s relation to the creation in context of meat consummation)
JÁCHIM, Petr
My thesis is about man{\crq}s relation to the creation in context of meat consummation. The approach to the issue is from the Christian point of view and the thesis wants to find answer to the question whether Christian should be vegetarian. First chapter draws from Biblical texts and brings testimony from Old and New Testament in respect to vegetarianism. Very significant is Biblical story about Creation which determines role of the man and his relation to other creation, including animals. Second chapter is about vegetarianism in history and present time. It describes evolution of modern vegetarianism, approach to meat consummation in history and reasons that lead individuals to this type of feeding. The third chapter considers Christian approach to creation and ethical relation to animals. The attitude toward vegetarianism is derived from relationship between Christian and God{\crq}s creation.
