The Work
![Page 3: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Roots
• Policy dispute over ethics• How we ought to live with cats and wildlife as a
society- Guiding moral principles- Every day practices
• No resolution until we squarely face the moral challenge
• Value-based political decision about public policy• Science can inform, it cannot decide
![Page 4: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Dueling Worldviews
• Advocates for wildlife (wildlife community)
- Science- Cats threat to native biodiversity- Anthropogenic artifacts- Unarticulated moral commitment to native wildlife- Use traditional wildlife management
• Advocates for cats (cat community)- Social justice- Cats members of society- Non-human persons deserve just treatment- Latent moral commitment to cats- Non-lethal measures to manage issues
![Page 5: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Moving Forward
• Trap Neuter Return (TNR)- Fixation of both communities- Break this fixation and move to
underlying issues• Both sides have genuine insights• Both sides motivated by moral sensibilities• Source of conflict, point of departure for
possible agreement

Clarifications about Ethics and Public Policy
![Page 8: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• ‘How we ought to live’ (Socrates)
• Expression of what’s right, good, just or of value
• Effort to improve or maintain the well-being of individuals and communities
Ethics
![Page 9: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Common Errors About Ethics
• Not- Rules- Preferences - Customs- Emotions- Subjective or relative- Absolute moral truth
• Rather- Reason- Evidence- Best moral understanding
• Dual Project- Critique our way of life- Envision a better future
![Page 10: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• ‘Public policy is ethics writ large’(Aristotle)
• Public policy impacts the well being of others -- people, animals, nature.
• Indispensable tool
- diagnosis - reveal moral issues and values at stake
- treatment - guidance for thought and action
Ethics and Public Policy
![Page 11: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Practical Ethicsand Public Policy
• Aristotle and phronesis (practical wisdom)• Characteristics of practical ethics
- Theoretically open ended- Empirically grounded- Welcoming to diverse worldviews
• “Question is not who is right, but what are they right about”. (Weston)
![Page 12: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Moral Facts About Cats and Wildlife
![Page 13: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cats are Moral Beings
• Aware (sentient)
• Self-aware (sapient)
• Well-being that can be helped or harmed
![Page 14: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Prey of Cats are Moral Beings
• Sentient and Sapient
• Well-being of their own
![Page 15: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Difficult Questions, Real Opportunities
• Who is culpable for such problems? • What responsibilities do people have to fix such problems? • What roles does compassion and suffering play in our
choice of management options? • How might TNR be used to complement other options? • How do we handle hard cases, such as tropical islands or
endangered species?• Are there geographic spaces where outdoor cats do some
good? • Can cats ever become ecological natives to a place?
![Page 17: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Three Bottom Lines: Public Policy for the Common Good
![Page 18: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Core Moral Challenge
• Cats and wildlife share:
- Intrinsic value- Moral community
• Unavoidable conflict- Cats and their prey
- Predation and native biodiversity• How can we create public policy that:
- Respects cats and wildlife as moral beings, and
- Mitigates negative impacts on native biodiversity?
![Page 19: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Policy Bottom Lines
Ecological (biodiversity, eco-integrity)
Social (care, health, safety, justice)
Ethical (good, right, just, valued)
A good public policy
![Page 20: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Using the Bottom Lines
• Use each bottom line: - identify the issues- develop insights on
management- make recommendations
• Must address all three bottom lines- Wildlife community = ecological- Cat community = social- ??? = ethical
Ethical...Social...Ecological...
![Page 21: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Three Means
• Ethical, legal, and social implications research (ELSI)
• Interpretive policy analysis (IPA)• Ethics briefs
![Page 22: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ELSI(Ethical, Legal and Social Implications)
• Human Genome Project (1990s)• High level overview of the ethical, legal and
social knowledge about genomics• Multi-year, working groups, plenary
sessions, white papers, training materials• Model for bioethics research and training
- government agencies- ethics institutes
![Page 23: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
IPA(Interpretive Policy analysis)
• Alternative to economic and institutional policy analysis (1970s)
• Ethnographic, qualitative, interpretive methods to study public policy
• Emphasizes values in the making and meaning of public policy
• Academic research; issue framing by ngos and political parties
- George Lakoff (democrats)- Frank Luntz (republicans)
![Page 24: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ethics Briefs
• A brief is a succinct document used in many professions to set forth the facts and ideas relevant to a particular case.
• Akin to an legal amicus curiae (friend of the court) brief
![Page 25: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ethics Briefs
• Information, analysis and recommendations on a specific policy issue
• Ethnographic, qualitative, interpretive methods, plus ethical analysis
• Grounded in specific policy cases; tighter focus than ELSI or IPA
![Page 26: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Barred Owl Working Group
• Formed 2009 at the request of the USFWS
• Ethics review and recommendations about barred owl management in the Pacific northwest

Wicked Problems
![Page 35: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Wicked Problems
• Stakeholders disagree about: - The nature of the problem- Values at play
• No technical fix• ‘Wickedness’ characteristic of most
public policy problems
![Page 36: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Wicked Problems Have Solutions
• Not absolutely right or wrong, rather:- Better versus worse - Context sensitive
• Must address the value-laden, moral dimensions of the problem
![Page 37: Tracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public · PDF fileTracking Their Implications for Ethics and Public Policy ... - Intrinsic value - Moral community ... - Step away from hardened](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4379f7f8b9a156d8ba177/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Outdoor Cats Pose a Wicked Problem
• Dueling policy communities• Dueling worldviews• Dueling moral sensibilities• Choice
- Continue to fight- Merge horizons of understanding
