Tracy lives in Bend, Oregon. As a volunteer with Think Wild, central Oregon’s nonprofit wildlife rehabilitation hospital, Tracy participates in the care of injured or compromised wildlife impacted by human encroachments and human activities throughout the region. Volunteering at Think Wild has given her a better understanding of the costs of that care—not just in dollars and cents, but the emotional costs as well. Unfunded by any governmental agencies, wildlife rehabilitation across the country is a labor of love underpinned by a belief in an inherent moral obligation to mitigate suffering. Tracy believes that animals enjoy a moral status that confers on people a moral duty. Animal stewardship in all spheres―whether that be in the wild, domestically, agriculturally, experimentally, or culturally―is positive social labor that deserves support and funding from polities both large and small. Tracy’s goal in pursuing the CALS MSL degree is to acquire a toolkit for meaningful action based upon collective moral duty. Specifically, she seeks to establish legislation that compels polities to firmly shoulder their share of our collective responsibility for mitigating the adverse impacts on wildlife of human expansion and human overreach. More generally, her aim is to address issues, both looming and extant, that instigate suffering and threaten the ability of individual animals to thrive and achieve their unique potentials. Through CALS, she wishes to obtain a blueprint for action, one that will teach her how to employ legal strategies to develop, implement, and defend laws and policies that safeguard the vitality and well-being of all animals.
