Anthrozoology is the interdisciplinary study of the interactions and relationships between humans and other animals. It encompasses various fields such as anthropology, psychology, sociology, biology, ethology, and veterinary medicine. Anthrozoologists investigate the ways in which humans and animals influence each other’s behavior, well-being, and societal roles. They explore topics such as animal-assisted therapy, human-animal bonds, the ethical treatment of animals, animal cognition and communication, and the cultural significance of animals in human societies. This field is important for understanding the complex and often profound connections between humans and the animal world, and it has practical applications in fields like animal welfare, conservation, and veterinary care.
