Abstract A situated ethics of entangled accountabilities is observed by discussing the unaccountable deaths and extinction of vultures in India. A team of Indian and British scientists have begun a captive breeding program to improve the plight of Indian vultures.
AbstractList From deep within a time of mass extinctions, bound up in the multispecies communities of life that provide the very possibility of our being at all, we need ethical ways of writing about the deaths of species and the suffering and loss these deaths produce. While cows have an important role in the religious life of the nation, and most Indians do not consume beef (although some do), there are numerous other dimensions of the lives of cattle in India that cannot be understood as anything other than tragic.\n45 In this context, this essay has also explored some of the stakes involved in different possible futures, and why it is that we should all make a stand for worlds rich in vultures and the diversities and connectivities that they produce and hold together. -
A situated ethics of entangled accountabilities is observed by discussing the unaccountable deaths and extinction of vultures in India. A team of Indian and British scientists have begun a captive breeding program to improve the plight of Indian vultures.
In the mid-1990s it was discovered that populations of three species of Asian vulture were disappearing at an unprecedented rate throughout India and the surrounding region. In attempting to convey the gravity of this situation we are often drawn to present it through numbers and data, to recount, for example, that 99 per cent of the Oriental white-rumped vultures (Gyps bengalensis) are now gone. But is this an appropriately ethical response to the mass death of vultures and the likely extinction of their species? In contrast to these more conventional accounts of extinctions, this article takes up the pain of vultures and the claim for response and responsibility that this pain issues. Writing about pain brings individual vultures (and others) back into our accounts as ethical subjects. But inside the multispecies communities of life that we all inescapably inhabit, I argue that this responsibility requires a worldliness beyond discrete individuals, and consequently must be understood as a generative opening, drawing us into entangled accountabilities.
