Zoophile Rights Day Podiumsdiskussion 2015 Vortrag von Herrn Buschmann

Thank you very much for the invitation

I must say, I never held a lecture on

socks, but it is very warm and

cosy here.

My name is Frank Buschmann.

For many years now I am engaged in animal

behaviour. First as a researcher in

Ireland and Cologne, then after 15 years

resarch I founded an

enterprise of my own by forcedly strategic

reasons so to say.

We are developing hard- and software for

animal welfare, animal breeding and

animal management.

For example automating feeding gear and

transponder controlled locks.

This are these little microchips coated in

glass you know for example

of cats who are all chipped.

We also design management databases which

ensure the authorities that the parameters

of the animals in the limits of the animal
protection law.

Administration of transgenic organisms.

Here we have achieved one of the few

successes in the new animal protection law

Transgenic organisms must be better docu-

mented, especially in
regard of the impairments

and problems of the transgenic race.

All this has to be journalized and

reported to the authorities. To ensure

that te journals are not simply filled

with random data we developed a europe

software.

I am rather content that we with our

enterprise can add a little contribution

to reduce the amount of animals for

and that those who are necessary and be

monitored by the authorities.

The topic was proposed by Michael whom I

know for 15 years now.

"Similarities and differences of man and

animal" of course is a huge topic about

which you can talk for hours and the time

was limited on 15 minutes.
It got a little extended

and because of that we have
a little more time so I

wanted to design it a
little more dynamic. In the

beginning I will show a
film so everybody can think

it over: Is this an
“attraction reaction machine”

now, is this by chance or
is it a score of one animal

to another by pushing him
down the stairs. We are

watching the videos now first
which I of course have

from the Internet. Yes,
we know this particularly

with cats that they are
very imaginative and have

very much refinement if
they want a little if they

want to have food if they
want to come out or there

also are envy actions. There
comes this tiger to his

brother and, what kind of
chance, the other plunges

into the water. Whether its
pure coincidence or not,

one can not examine it
strictly scientifically,

but it is a quite interesting
connection which remind

us of it very much. It´s
about different species

which have different ways
of communication. It´s well

known, that dogs and cats
body language is already

different and this makes
living together a little

more difficult - some kind
of adventurous also -

between such species. Some
can be chance but other

things already look very
much according to strategy.

We will see just another part
- I would like to

emphasize - in which he runs
away from a cow. Sabotage,

as in this case, also
actually can be chance but

effective. Cats try to
to present themselfs as

if it does not matter
wether theire surroundings

turn, if it´s Earth around
Sun or turning around

themselfs it´s identical, it
has a strategic advantage

and is made use of at once.
Strategies develop

also in the sozialisation
between different species,

and may be used shamelessly there too.
He chucks ball

away and the other one wants
to fetch it - for this

he´ll then gets a bone. This
already looks according

to strategy. It is, proved in
the research that different

animal species also develop
political strategies

to succeed with something.
This is this with making

use of a situation,
defenseless, opportunity

make love. No question about
it that it seems to be

targeted. And a fish also
can defend itself in front

of a cat. Thats where the
concept Kamika (t) ze

comes from. Or taking the
sledge from the human -

riding it itself. And then
something arises from it

to Undewicht in the
household, how one says with

in NRW. <<<< das ist irgendwie
falsch???? Ich kenne

den Spruch auch nicht –
muss nochmal reinhören….

One can explain a lot by
by coincidence. In which

cats really have a talent
to throw everything down

(Territory Enlargement).
Basically socializationis a

very good Idea to bring
different species together.

If one brings them together
in early stages of

Development, then they learn
very fast to handle each

other. At last, domesticated
animals are used to

Humans and breeded and
trained to do so. so to

say, this is a "Cat into a the box".
This is the Scene

once again. Of course on
Youtube there are a lot

of funny animal videos,which,
if you start thinking

about it encourages you:
"Yes, there is consideration

and strategy at least experience
with a human behavior

behind this there". I have
called it "attraction

reaction or systematic
procedure" now, but to

me, it´s more a systematic procedure.
Not in

all, but in a lot of cases.
I will start to compare,

what is the difference
between the animal "man" and

the other animals. What
does one say there and what

can be kept. What can be
discussed or disproved.

This then culminates in the
discourse: Empathy is a

pure emotion now or it is
rationally controlled or

perhaps it has even an
evolutionary advantage? I

then take an example to the positions.
An animal is

trained according to a
certain way to proceed, in

dealing with horses this
is so, for example: The

conducting stallion or the
conducting mare must watch

over the complete herd and
head then has increased

hers relatively to see
approximate enemies. This means

they have a quite dominating
behavior which for

certain is practical to
recognize just possible

dangers. From this then has
the man developed, that

the eye contact and the
eye-level shall in dealing

with the animal be fundamental
under the eye-level

of man. It is said in many
rider circles, if this

is not the case, one then
could not master a horse

either, we go equally still
a bit further into it

there. There is not only
racism but also speciesism

there. Does it become the
species justly or not

justly? Which mechanisms
are connected that a group

represents itself better-
or the other one worse -

in opposite to another group?
Then: Effect of the

cultural over-forming, the
domestikation which we

cultivate, breed and train
to animals, so they are able

to manage better in our
human environment and we

"make them utilizable",within
the meaning of social

support and similar effects.
At the End I would say

something about a cognitive
dissonance or in simple

words: The contradiction
between the love of

animals and using an animal
so it can be eaten by

non-vegetarians. The videos
for the attraction reaction

respectively for the
systematic procedure I´ve just

shown. What do animals and
people have in common?

This is a brainstorming,
that is now no complete

enumeration,as it would
be found in the Review or

paper. What is, for some
people, surely common, that no

animal is like the other
even if it is one of the

same race and the same brood.
Domesticated animals

particularly have theire own
character and theire own

behavior typical form. It
is not only an external

appearance now but in my
thesis went 16 years ago

therefore this still was not
clear: What is forgetting?

Is forgetting simply
some memory information

which fades? Or is forgetting
to learn not to do

something? If I usually got
a positive reinforcement,

a reward for something, and
then, all of the sudden

I don´t get it anymore,
even though I´m doing the

same as before - it starts
to get senseless or it´s

a waste of energie to act
like that to get the reward,

which does not come anymore.
There was my Theory,

even in different species,
that it is an actice

studying process to learn
not to do it any longer.

I have compared different
animal species, I also

compared them with Humans and
found patterns, which are

typically, individual
typically,for every studying

behavior. Everybody studies
somehow differently.

Solves certain tasks faster
or in another rhythm,

faster or more slowly and
one can derive a time

sample from it with which one e.g.
can say: Michael

Kiok studies like this and
this is his time rhythm.
