Nemravová, Veronika ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (referee)
The purpose of my thesis is to analyse the legal regulations related to the protection of animals against cruelty. Many jurisdictions around the world have enacted statutes which forbid cruelty to animals because of the recognition of an animal's ability to feel pain.

Many organizations all around the world are trying to convince governments and key decision makers to change practices and introduce new laws to protect or improve the welfare of animals.

Rethinking the Animal: Post-Humanist Tendencies in (Post) Modern Literature
Gridneva, Yana ; Vichnar, David (advisor) ; Procházka, Martin (referee)
This thesis posits post-humanism as a philosophy that engages directly with the problem of anthropocentrism and is concerned primarily with the metaphysics of subjectivity. It studies five literary texts (James Joyce's Ulysses, Virginia Woolf's Flush, Djuna Barnes' Nightwood, Brigid Brophy's Hackenfeller's Ape and J.M. Coetzee's Elizabeth Costello: Eight Lessons) that challenge the humanistic or classical subject through critical engagement with what this subject traditionally saw as its antithesis - the animal. These texts contest various fixed assumptions about animality and disrupt the status-quo of the human. Breaking with the tradition that treats animals exclusively as a metaphor for the human, they attempt to see and understand animality outside the framework of anthropocentric suppositions. This project aims to describe the strategies these texts employ to conceptualize animality as well as the methods they apply to delineate its subversive potential and to disrupt the human- animal binary. Its theoretical framework combines the work of thinkers belonging to the new but thriving field of Animal Studies with the ideas of Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. It is this project's great ambition to contribute towards the development of new post- humanist ethics defined by its...

Albinismus ve světě zvířat
NĚMCOVÁ, Klára
The subject of this thesis was to prepare an overview of the information on albinism in animals, characterize its different types and origins. Albinism can be divided into full or partial. This depends on whether the affected individual is all white or whether only some body parts are affected. Another type of albinism is leucism. These animals have affected fur and feathers, but skin is pigmented normally. Albinism is a hereditary disease, but it can also arise during the life, for example, due to stress or illness. It is caused by the absence or lack of dark skin pigment - melanin. As melanin protects skin and eyes from sunlight, affected animals suffer from skin diseases and photophobia. In this thesis, the diversity of this disease is documented on examples of various animals - invertebrates and vertebrates.
