Wildlife objectification and cruelty are everyday aspects of Australian society
that eschew values of human kindness, empathy, and an understanding of the
uniqueness and importance of non-human life in the natural world. Fostered by
institutional failure, greed and selfishness, and the worst aspects of human
disregard, the objectification of animals has its roots in longstanding Western
anthropocentric philosophical perspectives, post colonialism, and a global uptake
of neoliberal capitalism. Conservation, animal rights and welfare movements have
been unable to stem the ever-growing abuse of wildlife, while 'greenwash'
language such as 'resource use', 'management', 'pests', 'over-abundance',
'conservation hunting' and 'ecology' coat this violence with a respectable public
veneer. We propose an engaged learning approach to address the burgeoning culture
of wildlife cruelty and objectification that comprises three elements: a
relational ethic based on intrinsic understanding of the way wildlife and humans
might view each other [1-3]; geography of place and space [4], where there are
implications for how we ascribe contextual meaning and practice in human-animal
relations; and, following [5], engaged learning designed around our ethical
relations with others, beyond the biophysical and novel and towards the
reflective metaphysical. We propose the 'ecoversity' [6], as a scholarly and
practical tool for focusing on the intersection of these three elements as an
ethical place-based learning approach to wildlife relationism. We believe it
provides a mechanism to help bridge the gap between human and non-human animals,
conservation and welfare, science and understanding, and between objectification
and relationism as a means of addressing entrenched cruelty to wildlife.
