摘要

在特立尼达和多巴哥,动物福利问题已经慢慢上升到前台。特立尼达皇帝谷动物园引进了加勒比海地区的头两只长颈鹿——曼德拉和梅尔曼,这引起了整个国家的兴趣。本定量研究旨在探讨两个学生群体中学生对动物福利和曼德拉和梅尔曼作为动物园景点的态度:社会学一年级学生(n = 90)和兽医学学生(n = 34),并评估学习领域和性别对他们态度的影响程度。研究人员对参与者进行了一份结构化的问卷调查,其中包括两个量表:动物态度量表(AAS),用于衡量学生对社会中各种动物用途的态度,以及为本研究开发的一个单独的量表,用于衡量他们对曼德拉和梅尔曼的态度。性别对学生福利态度的差异有很大影响。女学生对动物福利和曼德拉、梅尔曼的态度更为积极。研究领域与学生福利关注之间存在微弱的统计关系。然而,结论是学生普遍关心动物的福利,并对福利问题表达了积极的态度。

Zoo Attractions and Trinidadian Student Attitudes toward Animal Welfare
The issue of animal welfare has slowly risen to the fore in Trinidad and Tobago. The importation of the Caribbean's first two giraffes, Mandela and Melman, into the Emperor Valley Zoo, Trinidad has piqued the interest of the national community. The present quantitative study sought to explore student attitudes toward animal welfare and Mandela and Melman as zoo attractions in two student populations: first year sociology (n = 90) and veterinary medicine students (n = 34) and to assess the extent to which area of study and gender impact upon their attitudes. Participants were administered a structured questionnaire comprising two scales: the Animal Attitude Scale (AAS) to measure student attitudes to the various uses of animals in society, and a separate scale developed for this study to measure their attitudes toward Mandela and Melman. Gender accounted for a significant amount of the variance in student welfare attitudes. Female students expressed more positive attitudes toward animal welfare and toward Mandela and Melman. A weak statistical relationship was found between area of study and student welfare concerns. However, it was concluded that students were generally concerned about the welfare of animals and expressed positive attitudes toward welfare issues.
