Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat
Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It's So Hard to Think Straight About Animals | Hal Herzog
5 posts | 7 read | 23 to read
Does living with a pet really make people happier and healthier? What can we learn from biomedical research with mice? Who enjoys a better quality of life—–the chicken destined for your dinner plate or the rooster in a Saturday night cockfight? Why is it wrong to eat the family dog? Drawing on more than two decades of research into the emerging field of anthrozoology, the science of human–animal relations, Hal Herzog offers an illuminating exploration of the fierce moral conundrums we face every day regarding the creatures with whom we share our world. Alternately poignant, challenging, and laugh-out-loud funny—blending anthropology, behavioral economics, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy—this enlightening and provocative book will forever change the way we look at our relationships with other creatures and, ultimately, how we see ourselves.

#pugsoflitsy #Bleeckersays I think most of the time she loves me. There's been a couple of times where, well I don't think she hated me but, she didn't like me a whole lot. Based on her food choices, I have no worries about her eating me. Although she talks about getting "sugar" from me all the time #weirddogmom

#booksinnature? How about books about nature? (Dr. Herzog was a professor at my university for many years, though I sadly wasn't able to take any of his classes before he left 😣). #riotgrams

#TBRtemptation post 8! This book is said to combine Malcolm Gladwell, Mary Roach, & Jared Diamond, into a synthesis between social & hard sciences. Laying out the relationships between humans and animals in the emerging field of anthrozoology, a number of questions are looked at, including: why it's wrong to eat the family dog, what mice can teach us about medicine, pets making us happier. Lots of interviews & studies. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

PacingTheCage A co worker let me borrow this book. I think this author was a professor at her university. 7y
