Irina shares her experience with a severely injured cat who transforms from a non-social cat to a loving companion. She also addresses the problem of community cat abandonment and the need for better support networks for companion animal guardians. The conversation touches on the historical association of cats with the feminine and the evolution of the "crazy cat lady" trope. Please subscribe to get notified about our next podcast!

In episode 39 of the Anthrozoology Podcast we join Dr. Irina Frazin, for part one of two on a discussion on Romanian Feline Lives. Irina is a researcher at the Institute of Social and Economic Research, who discusses her journey from classical studies to anthrozoology, sparked by adopting her cat Bubus 15 years ago. Irina highlights the challenges of translating human-animal studies terminology into Romanian and the success of the Anthrozoology Symposium, which initially attracted more international than local participants. Irina also details her efforts to establish an anthrozoology course at the University of Iasi, despite several challenges, and emphasises the importance of fostering programs for cats in Romanian shelters. She notes the need for better education and collaboration among NGOs to improve animal welfare. Please subscribe to get notified about our next podcast!

Welcome to Episode 38 of the Anthrozoology Podcast. In this episode, we continue exploring Alisa Rubinstien's research on the intersection of humans, companion-animals and fat. Alisa is the AIP2023/AASA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEmj7S9A0fY&t=2020s) Pre-PhD Presentation Award winner for her work titled “Fattening” One Health: An Interspecies Approach to Dismantling the “Obesity Epidemic.” With over ten years of experience in various animal care settings, she recently earned her Master's in Anthrozoology from Canisius University. Currently, Alisa serves as the Lifesaving Manager at a shelter in Philadelphia, focusing on adoption, foster, and volunteer programs. Her academic interests intersect ecofeminism and critical animal studies, particularly exploring how perceptions of animals relate to marginalised humans. Her thesis investigated the roles cats play in the lives of queer women and non-binary individuals. In the second part of their conversation, hosts Kris, Sarah, and Michelle continue their dialogue with Alisa, who discusses potential future research directions, emphasising the need for a better understanding of how societal perceptions can influence the health outcomes of both humans and animals. The discussion also highlights her fascinating thesis on the relationships between queer women and their cats, showcasing how these unique bonds challenge societal narratives. As the episode concludes, Alisa highlights the critical need for compassion and dignity in healthcare, advocating for a One Welfare approach that benefits all beings. This engaging conversation encourages listeners to rethink conventional beliefs about health, weight, and the integral connections we share with animals. In a future episode we talk to another AIP2023 awardee, Dr. Madelena Mañetto Quick, who recently graduated from Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.

Dr. Fine discusses using animals for therapy and communication with children, highlighting the introduction of his first pet, a gerbil named Sasha, to a program for children with learning disabilities in 1973. Dr Fine describes the diverse range of companion-animals he works with, from dogs to lizards, and emphasizes the importance of respecting all as sentient beings. He shares personal stories, such as his connection with a bearded dragon named Spikey, who helped children with similar challenges. The episode also addresses the significance of companion-animal welfare, education, and agency, with Dr. Fine stressing the importance of recognising the non-verbal cues of companion-animals and respecting their boundaries. ​ Please subscribe to get notified about our next podcast! ​ Follow us on X: @TheAnthrozoopod Follow us on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/anthrozoopod/  Follow us on TikTok @anthrozoology_ To access audio versions please our official Website: https://anthrozoopod.wixsite.com/anthrozoopod ​ Podlet Guest Dr Aubrey Fine email: ahfine@gmail.com Websites: https://www.aubreyhfine.com/ PodCrew Dr. Kris Hill PhD Candidate, University of Exeter tinehill@gmail.com  https://katzenlife.wordpress.com/ Dr. Michelle Szydlowski ms835@exeter.ac.uk www.internationalelephants.org @intl_elephants ​​ Sarah Oxley Heaney PhD Candidate, University of Exeter sh750@exeter.ac.uk ​ www.kissingsharks.com/ N.B.

Trigger warning This podcast is about grief and will involve discussions of death and dying. Here is a link to the Blue Cross for anyone who may need support following the loss of a companion animal: https://www.bluecross.org.uk/pet-bereavement-and-pet-loss In episode 30, part 2 of a discussion on grief, we are joined again by Irene Perrett, a fellow researcher from the University of Exeter, who is engaged in PhD research on morethanhuman-animal grief. In this podcast episode, we delve into the multifaceted nature of grief, highlighting its transformative process and the concept of continuing bonds with lost loved ones. We explore various coping mechanisms, such as memorial tattoos and rituals, as ways to maintain connections with departed individuals, including companion animals. Our discussion emphasises the personal nature of grief and the diverse ways individuals navigate the mourning process, challenging societal norms and expectations regarding the length and expression of grief. Furthermore, we examine societal attitudes towards grief, focusing on cultural differences in mourning practices and the impact of disenfranchised grief on individuals' ability to grieve openly. We discuss language's role in shaping perceptions of grief, particularly the use of minimising language and the importance of validating individuals' grief experiences. Our conversation also extends to the emotional connections between researchers and their morethanhuman subjects, raising questions about ethical considerations and the potential grief experienced by researchers upon leaving their subjects. Ultimately, our dialogue underscores the significance of narrative in recognising individuality and fostering empathy, particularly in research contexts where animal grief experiences may be overlooked. In the podcast we reflect on the broader societal implications of grief and the ethical responsibilities of researchers and caregivers in acknowledging and validating diverse grief experiences of those grieving.

Join host Richard Miles and guest Dr. Nancy Gee, Director for the Center for Human Animal Interaction (HAI) at Virginia Commonwealth University and President of the International Society for Anthrozoology, for the first episode of our animal health series: Beyond the Collar! “People come away with smiles. I mean, I can tell you some very impactful stories. I was there. I saw it happen. It gives you chills just thinking about it. But at the same time, I needed to know if there was anything real to it. And that’s what got me started doing this research all those years ago. And it’s real.” — Dr. Nancy Gee  Beyond the Collar is an exploration of animal research and innovations that are making waves in the animal health industry. Listen as our hosts and guests dive into the impact our pet relationships have on us, obstacles and triumphs in pet medicine, and tools for ensuring the safety of our pets.  About Nancy Nancy R. Gee, PhD, is Professor of Psychiatry, Bill Balaban Chair in Human Animal Interaction, and the Director of the Center for Human Animal Interaction at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, USA. The Center is uniquely situated in the School of Medicine and in addition to research and educational activities it also houses the “Dogs on Call” therapy dog program, which includes 90+ dog/handler teams who visit patients and staff throughout the VCU health system.  Dr. Gee, President of the International Society for Anthrozoology, has extensive research and teaching experience and has specialized in the area of Human Animal Interaction (HAI) for the past 18 years. She served for five years as the HAI Research Manager for the Waltham Petcare Science Institute, located in Leicestershire, UK. In this role she managed a large portfolio of collaborative university-based research projects spanning multiple countries and topics, including; how companion animals impact the lives of older adults, or help students learn, or reduce the impact of PTSD symptoms in military veterans. Dr. Gee's own program of research has focused primarily on the impact of dogs on aspects of human cognition, including working memory, executive functioning and physiological responses such as heart rate variability to interactions with dogs. Currently she is the primary investigator on three grant funded clinical trials examining the impact of a hospital-based therapy dog visitation program on loneliness, depression and anxiety in vulnerable patient populations such as children, older adults, and people with mental illness.  A recipient of multiple grants and awards, Dr. Gee has 70 peer reviewed publications and has edited and contributed to numerous books. Dr. Gee regularly delivers international presentations on a variety of HAI topics, serves on the editorial review boards of several peer reviewed journals and has actively promoted the field of HAI through participation on the boards of several HAI organizations including the International Society for Anthrozoology and currently as the Chair of Pet Partners' Human-Animal Bond Advisory Board. 

In episode 29 we delve into the topic of grief. We are joined in this episode by Irene, a fellow researcher from the University of Exeter, who is just starting her PhD research on morethanhuman-animal grief. We frame the discussion by highlighting the various dimensions of grief, extending beyond the human realm to explore how animals, particularly social species like elephants, also experience and express grief. The conversation unfolds with the exploration of different definitions and perspectives on grief, emphasizing the contextual nature of grief definitions, grief as a disruptive emotion challenging societal norms and touch on the diverse causes of grief, including loss of habitat, forced relinquishment, and the death of individuals. The discussion broadens to encompass disenfranchised grief, where society invalidates or minimizes the grief experienced by individuals, especially in the context of animal companionship. We touch on the criminalization of grief in certain situations, such as in incarceration institutions. Our podcast references Judith Butler's concept of grievable lives, where irreplaceability, transformative effect, and embodied experience define lives worthy of grief. We acknowledge the subjectivity of what society deems grievable and highlight the coping mechanisms, including compassion fatigue and emotional calluses, that individuals develop in response to constant exposure to grief.

Episode 24 : The Anthrozoology Podcast: Exploring Anthropomorphism and its Implications Welcome to "The Anthrozoology Podcast," where we dive deep into the fascinating world of anthropomorphism and its impact on our understanding of human-animal relationships. Join your hosts, Sarah, Kris, and Michelle, as we navigate the complexities of attributing human characteristics to non-human beings and objects. In this podcast, we explore the concept of anthropomorphism and its various definitions. From the attribution of human-like physical features to nonhumans, to ascribing humanlike intentions, beliefs, and emotions, anthropomorphism is a topic that sparks both fascination and debate. We examine the origins of the term and its significance across different cultures, questioning whether it is solely a Western-dominated perspective or a broader form of knowledge system. "The Anthrozoology Podcast" delves into the reasons behind anthropomorphism's existence and its implications for our understanding of morethanhuman-animals. We discuss the different types of anthropomorphism, and examine how nuanced categorizations shed light on the diverse ways in which humans attribute human characteristics to non-human entities. Through thought-provoking discussions, we examine the applications of anthropomorphism in various fields, including theology, robotics, and our everyday interactions with animals. We explore how anthropomorphism can be both a tool for understanding and a potential hindrance, obscuring the true nature of animal experiences and behaviors. Join us as we unravel the controversies, challenges, and possibilities surrounding anthropomorphism. Please subscribe to get notified about our next podcast!

Today we are continuing our discussion of ‘power words', terms that humans use to control the narratives of otherthanhuman lives. Today's term is ‘feral', and it is a contentious term, in our opinion. Our paper on this topic ‘Uncivilised Behaviors' was published last year in Society and Animals journal, and today we will unpack that paper in a discussion with our special guest and coauthor, Debbie Busby.

In this episode I chat with Sindhoor Pangal. Sindhoor is a canine behaviour consultant, a canine myotherapist and an engineer by qualification. She is a TEDx speaker and the author of the book, Dog Knows. Sindhoor quit her corporate life  to pursue a career in working with dogs, after her dog Nishi met with an accident and needed special physical and emotional care. She worked as a behaviour and myotherapy consultant for companion dogs, but soon discovered her passion for studying free living dogs in India. Her insights have been published in the IAABC journal and the PPG blog in the US, was presented at the PDTE summit in the UK and was mentioned in the book Canine Confidential by Dr. Marc Bekoff and a National Geographic Bookazine called the Genius of dogs. She is currently pursuing her masters in Anthrozoology from Exeter University (UK) and is also the principal and director of BHARCS. BHARCS offers a UK accredited level 4 diploma on canine behaviour and applied ethology. While she wears many hats, Sindhoor's favourite role has been being a mommy to two amazing dogs - Nishi (who recently passed away) and Cheeru, who she considers her inspiration and her greatest teachers.We chat about what her studies  of street dogs  in India has taught her about canine behavior and how what she has learned can help us to be better pet parents to our own pups. She also touches on the concept and importance of decolonization when it comes to our companion animals.Helpful Links:Donate To Care:CARE Shelter for donations : https://charlies-care.com/.  Coupon code : BAROO2023Link to course : https://courses.bharcs.com/Get the first chapter of  Dog Knows free here : https://www.bharcs.com/dog-knows-book-chapter-1Support the show If you are enjoying The Baroo Podcast you can now support the show by buying me a coffee.

In this episode we are joined by Therese Lillesköld to discuss the issue of animal hoarding and research she has conducted on animal hoarding in Sweden. The animals who are hoarded suffer immensely, but the hoarders themselves also suffer. These people are suffering from a psychiatric illness and often have other underlying social and mental health issues. Therefore, a vital part of helping the animals must include social support for the hoarders, including preventive measures such as intervening and aiding overwhelmed caregivers before a serious hoarding situation develops.

In this bonus episode Claudia talks to Carol Kline and Jes Hooper about why it is important to think about animals in relation to tourism. They touch on some of the ways animals are included in tourism and how to guard against unwittingly contributing to animal suffering. A key feature of this episode is giving an overview of the Emerging Voices for Animals in Tourism Conference.  Date Recorded: 27 January 2023.  Carol Kline is a Professor and the Director of the Hospitality and Tourism Management program at Appalachian State University. Her teaching and research interests have historically focused broadly on tourism sustainability, including topics such as foodie segmentation, craft beverages, agritourism, tourism entrepreneurship, and tourism in developing economies. However, she now gears her research solely on animals and she teaches a course called Animals, Tourism, & Sustainability. She is part of the Race, Ethnicity, and Social Equity in Tourism (RESET) initiative, which includes animals within the study of social equity.  She is founder of Fanimal Inc., a non-profit that helps individuals find animal-focused careers. Connect with Carol on Twitter (@tourismkline). Jes Hooper is an Anthrozoology PhD candidate at the University of Exeter and a member of Exeter's Anthrozoology as Symbiotic Ethics (EASE) working group. Her doctoral research focuses on human-civet interactions via the concept of "disappearance" in the Anthropocene. Jes is founder of the Civet Project, a research initiative dedicated to the intrinsic interests of Viverridae (civet) species, and has published several academic works on civet coffee production and authentication, civet coffee tourism, and the rising phenomenon of Civet Lover pet keeping clubs. Jes is also a member of the IUCN SSC Small Carnivore Specialist Group, and works as the Campaigns and Research Manager for Badger Trust, a single-species initiative protecting European badgers in England and Wales.

One of my absolute favorite things about traveling is not so much seeing all the typical tourist attractions, but going out and watching the behavior and culture of dogs in countries. We can learn so, so much by observing how dogs navigate their worlds in other places on our planet. And I've been wanting to chat with Sindhoor Pangal for a long time because she is one of the world's foremost experts on street dogs, or streeties as she refers to them in the most endearing way. We chat about the challenges the dogs face, living in India, as well as the many benefits of not actually being confined in a home environment. I think you will really enjoy hearing Sindhoor share her unique insights in this episode.For additional resources on helping dogs with aggression, visit:https://aggressivedog.comIf you want to take your knowledge and skills for helping dogs with aggression to the next level, check out the Aggression in Dogs Master Course and get a FREE preview here:https://aggressivedog.thinkific.com/courses/aggression-in-dogsDon't miss out on the third annual Aggression in Dogs Conference  9/30-10/2/22:https://aggressivedog.com/conference/Woof Cultr swag!https://woofcultr.com/collections/the-aggression-in-dogs-conferenceAbout Sindhoor:Sindhoor is a canine behaviour consultant, a canine myotherapist and an engineer by qualification.

Opening image, A Malayan Sun Bear in a zoo at the Pata mall in Thailand, 2008, by Jo-Anne McArthur/We Animals Media: https://stock.weanimalsmedia.org/asset/13888/ For this episode we were honoured to welcome Scottish poet Gordon Meade to talk about his collection of poems in ZooSpeak, inspired by the photography of Jo-Anne McArthur. In this episode of the Anthrozoology Podcast we are honoured to welcome Scottish poet Gordon Meade. Gordon's tenth collection of poems, inspired by photographs taken by Jo-Anne McArthur, is entitled Zoospeak. We often write and speak about the human tendency to use language as a tool of separation; to control the narrative of otherthanhuman lives. Gordon's work instead uses language as a tool to highlight the many species with whom we life-share. In fact, otherthanhuman species have featured his life and work for decades.

For this episode, we are very pleased to have Dr. Hal Herzog back to our show to talk to us about his research area in human-animal interactions(anthrozoology).  Hal has published a second edition of his fascinating book “Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat- Why It's So Hard to Think Straight About Animals.”  His research has been published in journals such as Science, The American Psychologist, The Journal of the Royal Society, The American Scholar, New Scientist, Anthrozoös, BioScience, The Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, and Animal Behavior. His work has been covered by Newsweek, Slate, Salon, National Public Radio, Scientific American, USA Today, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune and many other newspapers.  In 2013, he was given the Distinguished Scholar Award by the International Society for Anthrozoology. In this episode, we focused on “The Pet Effect” -the idea that pets improve the well-being of humans.  Hal goes over the data in this regard, and discusses how the “pet effect” may be at least overstated, if not  non-existent, and the reasons why this perception of “animals as miracle workers” remains.  Including how much he loves his cat Tilly, and how he thinks Tilly helps his well-being despite her bird-icidal ways and countless examples of people whose lives are decidedly worse or made more difficult by pets. We delve deeper in the topic by examining the effectiveness of  animals in animal assisted therapy (AAT), for example the use of dogs for the treatment of PTSD with veterans, and question whether the investment required to train the dogs (up to $35,000 per dog) is worth the small effect and the very mixed (at best) data on it.   We conclude by talking about the ethics and morality of keeping animals as pets, and draw some interesting parallels between meat-eating and pet-ownership. Hal also talks about whether it is better to not spay and neuter pets (the answer may surprise you!) and how his daughter Katie Herzog, a journalist, arrived at the decision for her dog “Moose” by digging into the data.  We finished by talking about the issue of personhood for animals including upcoming court cases in the US, like the one of “Happy” the elephant at the Bronx zoo, arguing that some animals may be considered persons, and thus, may not be kept in captivity.  A very fun, interesting episode, and thought provoking episode. We hope you enjoy it! (This episode was NOT brought to you by Purina because boy, they may not like what we have to say).

In this episode I get to chat to someone I have always considered a deep thinker on human animal relationships and anthrozoology. I have often described him as  "healthy sceptic" of the reported claims concerning the impact of pets on people., but he is also a leading figure in highlighting are moral ambiguities towards animals. Some may find the content of this podcast challenging, but as we conclude, although there are no simple solutions, if we stop and think, we can still act in a good way. Hal Herzog has been investigating the complex psychology of our interactions with other species for a long time. He is particularly interested in how people negotiate real-world ethical dilemmas, and this forms the basis of much our discussion. He has studied animal activists, cockfighters, animal researchers, and circus animal trainers. An award-winning teacher and researcher, he has written more than 100 articles and book chapters.  He is  also author of the brilliant thought provoking book "Some we love, Some we hate and some we eat"  In 2013, he was given the Distinguished Scholar Award by the International Society for Anthrozoology.

A dog named Stella seems to be able to talk by pointing her paws at symbols. Others on social media are trying to show off their pets' smarts. Beth Daly is a Professor of Anthrozoology at the University of Windsor and is with us to talk about what animals can and can't do.

Welcome back catboxers. How was your week? Today on the show we're talking the connection humans have to animals, known as Anthrozoology. Like, why do we keep animals as pets? Certainly there are reasons, right? Some people have animals for work reasons. Some people make money off their pets. Some people just love a companion. This episode will dive into that in a convoluted way. Also, we talk Kittehs in the News, and more self care topics. You can now find this podcast on Google Podcasts and Spotify. For those who use Apple Podcasts, we're pretty sure you can find us there, but we're not sure 100%, so drop us a line if we're still missing from there.

As an emergent interdisciplinary field, Anthrozoology is in its infancy regarding methodological practice. For Anthrozoologists, research involves both human and animal as active participants and actors within ethnographic investigation. Concerned with the ethical implications of research beyond the human species, Anthrozoologists are often faced with navigating how to protect both human and non-human informants, and when to speak for animals. Anthrozoology, therefore, presents a unique lens through which to view current research ethics processes. Held by postgraduate researchers from Exeter's Anthrozoology as Symbiotic Ethics (EASE) working group, the proposed workshop aims to problematize the Ethics Committee process in order to suggest solutions to better protect the interests of animal participants. Through the mode of a discussion forum, the attendees will be asked to share their own experiences of the Ethics Committee process whilst considering how the traditional ethics committee paradigm, as derived from the Biological Sciences, no longer adequately considers the nuances presented within animal-related research. The workshop will conclude with a collaboration between participants and speakers in order to problem solve and propose alternative ways in which the Ethics Committee process can better address the concerns of animals involved in research.

Welcome to the “Mornings with Sue & Andy” podcast for Thursday, May 13th. We begin with an update on the 2021 edition of the Calgary Stampede. We speak with Global Reporter Sarah Offin – on the Stampede's current plans, which include a ‘different' – socially-distanced version of “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”. Then we get the latest on Wednesday's ‘late night' announcement by UCP MLA Todd Loewen that he's stepping down as Caucus Chair. Global Reporter Bindu Suri explains what sort of an impact this will have on the party moving forward. We've heard of various ‘side effects' that are possible after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine… and now stories are emerging of the ‘shot' having an impact on women's menstrual cycles. We discuss with the Director of the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation research at the University of British Columbia. And finally… Dog adoptions are up over the last year, but will the surge of ‘pandemic puppies' create a canine crisis? We speak with a Professor of Anthrozoology to break down the issue.

Geoff Hosey is an Honorary professor at the University of Bolton in the UK. His experience of undertaking research and supervising students has mostly been in behavioural biology, animal welfare and primatology, and he is still involved in research on zoo animal welfare, particularly about human-animal relationships in the zoo.Geoff shares how he started studying animals and animal welfare and explains what behavioural biology is. He suggests new students to starting an academic career to do research in this field and encourages zoos and other animal facilities to do more research in general.Geoff shares aspects of his academic work, which he mostly conducted at Bolton University, teaching behavioural biology and supervising many different research projects on wild and captive animals across a variety of species. Geoff talks about his work comparing behaviours of wild lemurs in Madagascar and in captivity and he shares some nice primate stories.He shares insights from the studies of the human-animal interaction conducted, the different effects of zoo visitors on animal behaviour, and the importance of good records to shed light on these interactions. Geoff discusses with Sabrina their shared research on marine mammals in captivity and his books Zoo Animals and Anthrozoology. To conclude, he shares a research story about racing cockroaches.Download the BIAZA Research Handbook HEREFind his book “Zoo Animals: Behaviour, Management and Welfare” HERE & “Anthrozoology: Human-Animal Interactions in Domesticated and Wild Animals” HEREBecome a member of PAWS HERE

Episode 28. In this episode, we hear from Maythe, whose studies in multispecies kinship focus on the relationships humans have with dogs. Maythe shares information about an ethnographic study of dog lovers who perpetuate racism, particularly with regard to events around 2020’s Black Lives Matter protests in the UK. This leads to questions about the links between white supremacy and human supremacy. Maythe also considers the ethic of care to be a compelling avenue worth exploring. While studying, she shakes up the university system and field of anthropology through her decolonial praxis. Maythe: maythehan.com

Episode 5: Animals as Immigrants In this episode, we look at Animals as Immigrants. Animal movement across the globe and boundaries happens within contested spaces leaving animals wanted, unwanted, forced, coerced or in liminal landscapes of uncertainty.

In this podcast, we linked up with Defender Radio at TheFurBearers.com who interviewed us for their show. It was a great please to work with Michael Howie at Defender Radio and here's what he had to say "Anthrozoology is a fascinating field of study – simply put, it examines the interactions between humans and other animals. This is a broad concept, which is why so many fields overlap with it: anthropology, biology, philosophy, psychology and more. To me, the concept of combining these fields is daunting and intimidating; but thanks to many dedicated and passionate anthrozoologists, I've found the journals and discussions more approachable than many other, more specific disciplines. Among the dedicated and passionate are three University of Exeter students who love the field of study so much and see such potential for it that they started a podcast! The Anthrozoology Podcast is hosted by University of Exeter PhD students Sarah Oxley Heaney and Kris Hill, along with PhD candidate Michelle Szydlowski. The trio of anthrozoologists have arrived at Exeter's program from different places (both literally and figuratively, as we scheduled this group call across three different time zones) and with different specific interests. But it takes only the briefest moment of conversation to understand what drew them together – shared passion, dedication and excitement for doing more for humanity, non-human animals and the planet.

Animals-- cute, cuddly, and more often than not, our better halves. But what connection might exist between human relationships with animals and racism? In this episode, Katie and Isabelle talk with anthrozoologist Maythe Han about animal kinship in its capacity as a purveyor of status and as an outlet for racism.

In our first podcast, we discuss how the biological definition of domestication does not always mesh with the use of this word in conversations among animal welfare workers, anthrozoologists, biologists, lawyers and other stakeholders. Used as a foil for ‘wildness,' animals who are described as domesticates have often not actually undergone the domestication process, while others who have been more officially catalogued as domesticated have somehow slipped away from human control.

We welcome special guest Paul Waldau, recently retired Professor in the Animal Behavior, Ecology and Conservation Department and Director of the graduate program in Anthrozoology at Canisius College and author of Animal Rights, to talk about the relationships we humans have with non-human animals. How has viewing humans as special or distinct from other animals damaged our world? Should we view animals as having some of the same rights that we humans have, and if so, why?

Are pets theraputic? Is it moral to domesticate animals? Anne McElvoy explores the history of our relationship with pets with John Bradshaw author of Cat Sense and Dog Sense, Philip Howell who has researched the role of the domestic dog in Victorian Britain, bioethicist and writer Jessica Pierce who questions whether we should keep pets at all and novelist Laura Purcell. John Bradshaw has written The Animals Among Us: The New Science of Anthrozoology; Cat Sense: The Feline Enigma Revealed and Dog Sense: How the New Science of Dog Behavior Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet. He is director of the Anthrozoology Institute at the University of Bristol.Laura Purcell published the ghost story The Silent Companions earlier this year. The Animal's Agenca : Freedom, Compassion, and Coexistence in the Human Age by Jessica Pierce and Marc Bekoff was published this year - her other books include Run Spot Run: The Ethics of Keeping Pets. Philip Howell is a Senior Lecturer at Fellow at Emmanuel College Cambridge who has published At Home and Astray: The Domestic Dog in Victorian Britain.

The human need to have pets continues, despite their declining utilitarian value. On this episode, John Bradshaw discussed the animals among us.

Hal Herzog has been investigating the complex psychology of our interactions with other species for more than two decades. He is particularly interested in how people negotiate real-world ethical dilemmas, and he has studied animal activists, cockfighters, animal researchers, and circus animal trainers.
