Our mission is to connect social researchers interested in how humans relate with animals of various other species. Explorations considered under the rubric of this realm of inquiry range from those considering the positive and fulfilling sorts of relations many of us enjoy with our animal companions to those that assess the range of animal-cruelty phenomena.
Some research examines animals as they relate with one another, as well.
We include herein an array of links to organizations and individuals doing work that fits under the broad umbrella of animals and society. There are forums for discussion and comment, and we hope you'll share your impressions, concerns, and reactions. Please, contact our webmaster with any questions or comments, links of interest, or anything else that might relate to our mission. Presently, those of us who share these interests might well be unaware of others who are similarly engaged in this realm of inquiry.
