Product details

We need to talk about our relationship with animals - how the latest findings in sociology help us to do so

It's complicated - that probably sums up the core of human-animal relations. While the value
of cattle, pigs and the like is usually measured in prices per kilogram, pets are beloved family members and nothing can put a price on them: Some are someone to us, others something. More and more people are looking for the "right" way to treat animals, but it is not that easy. How is it that we pet some animals but slaughter others? And why are we questioning this unequal treatment more and more in recent years? Based on his research, Marcel Sebastian, an expert on human-animal relations, explains the historical, sociological and cultural explanations for our ambivalent relationship with our fellow creatures. This is as entertaining as it is informative and guaranteed to help you question your own point of view anew.
