Short description:
Investigates differing attitudes to animals in science and society.
MoreLong description:
This thought-provoking book will ask what it is to be human, what to be animal, and what are the natures of the relationships between them. This is accomplished with philosophical and ethical discussions, scientific evidence and dynamic theoretical approaches. Attitudes to Animals will also encourage us to think not only of our relationships to non-human animals, but also of those to other, human, animals. This book provides a foundation that the reader can use to make ethical choices about animals. It will challenge readers to question their current views, attitudes and perspectives on animals, nature and development of the human-animal relationship. Human perspectives on the human-animal relationships reflect what we have learned, together with spoken and unspoken attitudes and assumptions, from our families, societies, media, education and employment.
'... much good material is contained in Attitudes to Animals, and I believe its readers will be challenged and informed in ways likely to increase their understanding and compassion for animals. I commend this book to the animal welfare constituency.' F. Barbara Olans, Animal Welfare
