Debate Arises
On Use Of Animals
New York (JTA) — The Torah
mandates the humane treatment
of animals Dozens of biblical and
rabbinic laws detail the ways in
which respect for animals is to be
extended.
But debate rages among the
authorities as to whether the pro-
hibition against cruelty to ani-
mals means they have the right
not to be used for medical exper-
imentation or whether the very
notion of animal rights is anti-
thetical to Jewish law.
"It is absolutely a misreading
of Torah literature to speak of an-
imal rights," said Rabbi Moshe
Tendler, professor of talmudic
law and chairman of the biology
department at Yeshiva Univer-
sity, and a leading expert on Jew-
ish medical ethics.
"Animals were given in this
world to serve man, and that hi-
erarchy is a fundamental belief
in Torah Judaism.
"There are no animal rights,
but human obligations, which are
to use animals for the benefit of
man according to prohibitions
against causing animals pain and
against wastefulness," said Rab-
bi Tendler.
Regarding the use of animals
in medical experimentation or or-
gan transplant, Rabbi Tendler
said emphatically: 'The greatest
mitzvah a person can do is to use
an animal to save a human life."
He said the conditions under
which animals are kept and used
in medical research laboratories
today fulfill Jewish injunctions
about the humane treatment of
animals.
Others disagree.
