Abstract

Accounting, agricultural and financial interests have played a role in the treatment and extinction of many animals throughout the world. This article focuses on the framing and moral loading of the thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, beginning during the colonial settlement of Tasmania and the related commercial sheep operations through to post the federation of the Australian colonies. In doing so, we reflect on the extinction of the thylacine and the role of financial interests that promoted, or profited from, bounties by using moralisation and framing. Moralisation brings within the moral sphere an activity or object that was considered outside it, thus making behaviours related to such activity or object subject to moral evaluation, praise and blame. Contrasting frames for the thylacine within the agricultural industry are used to chart the thylacine's demoralisation and eventual re-moralisation that occurred, particularly after its extinction, into a symbol of ecological hope. As such, this article offers a narrative of the changing conditions for which the commercial and colonial activities, including policy and resourcing, intertwined with the ultimate extinction of the thylacine.

道德框架与袋狼:框架转换的历史例子
会计、农业和金融利益在世界各地许多动物的治疗和灭绝中发挥了作用。本文关注袋狼或塔斯马尼亚虎的框架和道德负载,从塔斯马尼亚殖民地定居期间开始,到澳大利亚殖民地联邦成立后的相关商业绵羊经营。在这样做的过程中,我们反思了袋狼的灭绝,以及通过道德化和框架化来促进或从中获利的金融利益的作用。道德化将被认为在道德领域之外的活动或对象带入道德领域,从而使与此类活动或对象相关的行为受到道德评价、赞扬和指责。农业行业中袋狼的对比框架被用来描绘袋狼的士气低落和最终的道德重塑,尤其是在它灭绝后,成为生态希望的象征。因此,本文讲述了商业和殖民活动,包括政策和资源,与袋狼的最终灭绝交织在一起的不断变化的条件。
