Getting To know 'The Anthrozoology Podcast' #3
In this podcast, we linked up with Defender Radio at TheFurBearers.com who interviewed us for their show. It was a great please to work with Michael Howie at Defender Radio and here's what he had to say "Anthrozoology is a fascinating field of study – simply put, it examines the interactions between humans and other animals. This is a broad concept, which is why so many fields overlap with it: anthropology, biology, philosophy, psychology and more.

Among the dedicated and passionate are three University of Exeter students who love the field of study so much and see such potential for it t...

The Anthrozoology Podcast #2 Domestication
In our first podcast, we discuss how the biological definition of domestication does not always mesh with the use of this word in conversations among animal welfare workers, anthrozoologists, biologists, lawyers and other stakeholders. Used as a foil for ‘wildness,’ animals who are described as domesticates have often not actually undergone the domestication process, while others who have been more officially catalogued as domesticated have somehow slipped away from human control.

HBM122: Should Cows Have Names?
Mike Paros lives in two worlds. In one world, he’s an animal welfare specialist and mixed animal vet, meaning he works with both “companion” animals like cats and dogs, and large animals like horses, cows, goats, and sheep. He spends much of his time as a veterinarian working with animals that eventually become meat, and most of his human clients are farmers that lean right politically.In the other world, Mike is a college professor at the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. There he teaches anthrozoology and agriculture to a predominantly liberal studen...
