机器人或自动挤奶系统(AMS)是一种新技术,它取代了奶牛养殖场的劳动力,减少了人与动物之间的互动。由于机器人挤奶涉及用一种系统取代传统的由人管理的一天两次挤奶,该系统理应允许奶牛随时选择自动挤奶,因此一些人声称,机器人挤奶对奶牛的健康和福利有好处,提高了生产率,并对奶农有生活方式上的优势。这篇文章考察了奶牛场已建立的伦理关系如何被一种截然不同的技术(如AMS)的干预所扰乱。因此,伦理关系的重新谈判是参与者如何围绕一项新技术重新组合的一个重要方面。本文通过对英国奶牛场的深入研究,比较了使用传统挤奶技术和使用AMS挤奶技术的奶牛场。我们探索在实践中协商的情境伦理关系,重点关注人-动物-技术相互作用的偶然性和复杂性。我们认为,伦理关系是存在的和新兴的,随着人类和动物的身份、角色和主体性通过一种新技术的介入而动摇,伦理关系也发生了变化。
Robotic or automatic milking systems (AMS) are novel technologies that take over the labor of dairy farming and reduce the need for human–animal interactions. Because robotic milking involves the replacement of ‘conventional’ twice-a-day milking managed by people with a system that supposedly allows cows the freedom to be milked automatically whenever they choose, some claim robotic milking has health and welfare benefits for cows, increases productivity, and has lifestyle advantages for dairy farmers. This paper examines how established ethical relations on dairy farms are unsettled by the intervention of a radically different technology such as AMS. The renegotiation of ethical relationships is thus an important dimension of how the actors involved are re-assembled around a new technology. The paper draws on in-depth research on UK dairy farms comparing those using conventional milking technologies with those using AMS. We explore the situated ethical relations that are negotiated in practice, focusing on the contingent and complex nature of human–animal–technology interactions. We show that ethical relations are situated and emergent, and that as the identities, roles, and subjectivities of humans and animals are unsettled through the intervention of a new technology, the ethical relations also shift.
