Why We Love and Exploit Animals: Bridging Insights from Academia and Advocacy brings together research and theorizing on human-animal relations, animal advocacy, and the factors underlying exploitative attitudes and behaviors towards animals.
It assembles some of the world’s leading academics with insights and experiences and breaks new ground, synthesizing scientific perspectives and empirical findings. The authors show the complexities and paradoxes in human-animal relations and reveal the factors shaping compassionate versus exploitative attitudes and behaviors towards animals. Exploring topical issues such as meat consumption, intensive farming, speciesism, and effective animal advocacy, this book demonstrates how we both value and devalue animals, how we can address animal suffering, and how our thinking about animals is connected to our thinking about human intergroup relations and the dehumanization of human groups.
Suitable for students, scholars, and professionals in the social and behavioral sciences interested in human-animal relations, and will also appeal to members of animal rights organizations, animal rights advocates, policy makers, and charity workers.
