Animal welfare : ressources en langue anglaise
|
|
|
Cette section propose des ressources en langue anglaise, pour les élèves de collège et de lycées étudiant l’anglais. A travers de nombreux aspects liés au thème des animaux d’élevage (sécurité alimentaire, rapports Nord-Sud, développement durable, …), les articles de presse, récits littéraires et documents vidéos soulèvent des questions de société qui peuvent devenir matière à débat en classe. Disponibles au téléchargement au format PDF, les documents sont prêts à photocopier, et accompagnés d’un résumé, d’un lexique et de pistes pour l’exploitation en classe.
Les ressources de cette section cherchent à suivre de près l'actualité internationale, et sont publiées avec l'autorisation des ayant droits. Par ailleurs, les enseignants d'anglais peuvent également alimenter un débat en classe en utilisant la version anglaise du "Kestenpense".

The Meatrix is a humorous 4-minute Flash animation that spoofs the Matrix films and highlights the problems of factory farming. Instead of Keanu Reeves, the Meatrix stars a young pig, Leo, who lives on a pleasant family farm ... so he thinks. Leo is approached by a trenchcoat-clad cow, Moopheus, who shows him the ugly truth about agribusiness…(The film has won several awards, at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, and the Media That Matters Film Festival).

Compassion in World Farming
The basis of all CIWF’s Trust work is the recognition of farm animals as sentient beings, since animals are capable of feeling pain and suffering, experiencing sensations and emotions. CIWF also works to raise awareness of the detrimental impact of intensive animal farming on the environment, on human health and food security, and on scarce natural resources. CIWF Trust’s Education website provides resources for the public, students and teachers, including referenced reports, fact-sheets, briefings and videos.
