A comprehensive exploration of the intricate tapestry of human-animal interactions, from a psychological lens, is presented in "An Introduction to Human-Animal Relationships." Spanning a diverse array of themes, this seminal text delves into the multifaceted realm of human-animal connections. Author Hollin takes a deep dive into the diverse spectrum of relationships, encompassing both direct connections, such as the companionship of companion animals, and more indirect ones, such as our attitudes towards consuming meat. At the heart of the discourse lies a critical examination of the moral and ethical dilemmas inherent in utilizing animals for entertainment, therapy, safety, and sports like horse racing. The justifications for hunting and killing animals for sport and scientific experimentation are explored, shedding light on the complex interplay between human interests and the well-being of non-human creatures.

In the concluding chapter, the book turns its attention to the future, envisioning how conservation and climate change will shape and influence human-animal relationships. This thought-provoking exploration underscores the significance of considering the evolving dynamics between humans and the natural world, as we navigate the complex challenges and opportunities of our time.

"An Introduction to Human-Animal Relationships" emerges as a vital resource for students and scholars alike, spanning the domains of psychology, sociology, animal welfare, anthrozoology, veterinary science, and zoology. It offers a profound understanding of the complex interplay between humans and animals, fostering empathy, compassion, and a deeper appreciation for the intricate web of life. By exploring the ethical, moral, and scientific dimensions of human-animal interactions, this book contributes to a more informed and responsible approach to our relationships with the animal kingdom.
