Why do animals provoke such strong and contradictory emotions in people? Do our western attitudes have anything in common with those of other cultures and societies?
As modern society begins to re/examine its relationship with animals, as well as the larger global environment, the idea of small, utopian minorities as the only ones concerned with issues of animal welfare and environmental protections has begun to be replaced. Vast numbers of articulate supporters, from Hollywood stars to powerful political figures are now at the forefront of these fights. Animals, both wild and domestic--spotted owls, alley cats, lab rats, and vanishing other species--are the most visible issue in the debates.
"Animals and Society" brings together a broad range of contributions from those distinguished in the field. The book explores the importance of of animals in socety from social, historical and cross-cultural perspectives.
