anthrozoology

Anthrozoology is the study of the interactions between humans and animals. This interdisciplinary field explores how these relationships affect both species, including emotional, social, and ecological impacts. Researchers examine various aspects, such as how pets influence human well-being, the role of animals in different cultures, and the ethical considerations surrounding animal treatment. By understanding these connections, anthrozoologists aim to improve coexistence and promote welfare for both humans and animals.
