在这篇文章中，我推荐“杀兽”作为那些导致动物死亡的各种人类行为的名称。就像一个人被另一个人杀死一样，杀兽可能是社会上可接受的或不可接受的，法律的或非法的。它可能是有意或无意的，可能涉及主动虐待或被动忽视。杀兽可能发生在一对一，在小团体或大规模的社会机构。兽杀的地点众多，有时相互交叉，包括密集饲养制度;狩猎和捕鱼;贩运;活体解剖;军国主义;污染;以及人为引起的气候变化。如果人类杀害动物对动物的伤害就像凶杀对人类的伤害一样，那么对此类死亡的正确命名就为人类生命相对于其他动物生命的广泛特权提供了一种补救措施，无论多么小。这篇文章不可避免地引出了一个令人震惊的问题：杀兽剂是谋杀吗？
In this essay I recommend theriocide' as the name for those diverse human actions that cause the deaths of animals. Like the killing of one human by another, theriocide may be socially acceptable or unacceptable, legal or illegal. It may be intentional or unintentional and may involve active maltreatment or passive neglect. Theriocide may occur one-on-one, in small groups or in large-scale social institutions. The numerous and sometimes intersecting sites of theriocide include intensive rearing regimes; hunting and fishing; trafficking; vivisection; militarism; pollution; and human-induced climate change. If the killing of animals by humans is as harmful to them as homicide is to humans, then the proper naming of such deaths offers a remedy, however small, to the extensive privileging of human lives over those of other animals. Inevitably, the essay leads to a shocking question: Is theriocide murder?
