    ‘Zoo-ethics’is a subset of bioethics,and zoology may be looked upon as a subset of ecology...that is how the review of Survival at Stake, by Poorva Joshipura, falls well and truly within the scope of this journal.There is also an interesting link between this one and another review of a book steeped in science, published recently by this author. Survival at Stake, on the other hand, primarily, has a moral, ethical, and practical force embedded within the scientific. This is understandable when one notes that Joshipura is an animal welfare activist associated with the NGO, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), and committed to the cause espoused by it

    Poorva Joshipura’s book Survival at Stake embarks on an interdisciplinary examination of ethical and scientific issues related to the treatment of animals, highlighting their impact on human well-being and the future of civilisation. The author, a dedicated activist affiliated with PETA, underscores the challenges posed by the exploitation of animals within the frameworks of intensive farming, laboratory experimentation, and the illegal wildlife trade. The critique illustrates how unethical practices can give rise to pandemics, the deterioration of biodiversity, and ecological imbalances. Moreover, the text advocates for a comprehensive, humanistic, and cross-disciplinary approach that reassesses and transforms the relationship between humanity and the animal world.Książka „Survival at Stake” autorstwa Poorvy Joshipura podejmuje interdyscyplinarną analizę zagadnień etycznych oraz naukowych dotyczących traktowania zwierząt, wskazując na ich wpływ na kondycję ludzką i przyszłość cywilizacyjną. Autorka – aktywistka zrzeszona z PETA – uwypukla problem zwierząt w kontekście intensywnych metod hodowli, eksperymentów laboratoryjnych oraz nielegalnego handlu dziką fauną. W recenzji przedstawiono, jak nieetyczne praktyki mogą skutkować powstawaniem pandemii, degradacją bioróżnorodności oraz zaburzeniami równowagi ekologicznej. Tekst podkreśla konieczność wdrażania holistycznych, humanistycznych i interdyscyplinarnych rozwiązań, które umożliwią gruntowną rewizję relacji między człowiekiem a światem zwierząt

    A novel bio- inspired algorithm for hunting in multi robot scenario

    In a multi-robot scenario, cooperative hunting is a key issue when a group of robots are hunting for evader/evaders and when the location of the evader is continuously changing. Cooperative hunting is addressed in this paper by proposing a novel bio inspired Corner Dragging Algorithm (CDA). Corner Dragging Algorithm operates by making an alliance of robots that drag the evader towards any one of the four corners; whichever is closest to the evader. Different shapes of obstacles are avoided during this pursuit. While developing the Corner Dragging Algorithm, we analyze the shortcomings and advantages of some of the existing algorithms including dynamic alliance and formation construction algorithm and incorporate these changes in our design to achieve improved results. Performance of the algorithm is evaluated on the basis of simulation in MATLAB
