Breath of Life: Ethical Wind Power and Wildlife | Reed Elizabeth Loder | 10 Vt. J. Envtl. L. 507 (Spring, 2009) | From the article: This article examines the toll on wildlife associated with inland wind power generation, an issue ethically less amenable to balancing costs and advantages.

To prevent the tragedies that can occur when a dog attacks a human, legislation must take aim at the heart of the problem, the human owners that allow, through negligence or intentional mistreatment and training, these attacks to occur. |
