Non-human Animals in Open Societies. Anthrozoology Studies

The present volume addresses precisely these questions of how we are supposed to get beyond the knowledge and information to reach a kind of moral awakening. We are clearly, as a collective, as a society, as a globally connected network, in need of change, meaningful change. Once we recognize both the special abilities of the individuals of other species and the importance of biodiversity, we simply cannot deny our ethical responsibilities. In this book, researchers from different fields and backgrounds try to ponder these questions, and others, in order to shed light on he possibility of building a respectful and just multispecies community.
