The AVMA is presenting four awards today at AVMA Convention 2024 in Austin, Texas, to recognize work with the human-animal bond, animal welfare, and contributing to the positive visibility of the profession.
The AVMA and the American Psychiatric Association are joining forces in March to call attention to the mental health benefits of having an animal companion.
On June 23, Steven Feldman, president of the HumanAnimal Bond Research Institute (HABRI), moderated the session “International Steering Group on Pets and Housing Issues” at AVMA Convention 2024, held June 21-25 in Austin, Texas.
French, a Department of Defense advisor, says using the human-animal bond to promote wellbeing during stressful events is an overlooked recovery resource that may be particularly beneficial in a work environment where mental acuity is critical and burnout is common.
The AVMA and the American Psychiatric Association (APA) ended a monthlong social media campaign to raise awareness about companion animals and mental health with a Twitter chat on the importance of the human-animal bond and prioritizing wellbeing.
More than 250 human/animal causes benefit as Surf Dog Ricochet achieves this major fundraising milestone on New Year’s Eve! These funds have helped more … Continue reading → The post Surfing dog raises ½ MILLION dollars for charity on New Year’s Eve appeared first on 4 The Love of Animals.
Like the Rockies, though, this is a harsh beauty, not an ideal climate for the humananimal by any means. The cottonwoods in the river bottoms echo the branching antlers of the elk that bugle among them each falls (abundant, but never enough so for Montana’s voracious hunters.)
Dog Medicine, shares the power of the humananimal bond, as Julie recalls the darkest point in her life. A year out of college, she was struggling … Continue reading → The post Dog Medicine; How My Dog Saved Me From Myself appeared first on 4 The Love of Animals.
Riddle me this: Why would any humananimal use as a default position that nonhuman animals do not have personalities as rich, distinct, obnoxious, obsequious and varied as humananimals? Have they not ever observed nonhuman animals? We're all animals, aren't we? We're sentient. Or "even" obnoxious?
We believe in the importance of the human-animal bond, and our goal is preserve that bond for individuals who are at risk of losing their pets during difficult times. Their mission: to promote the general health and well-being of under-served individuals through the provision of pet care assistance.
The world is facing a growing threat from new diseases that are jumping the human-animal species barrier as a result of environmental disruption, global warming and the progressive urbanisation of the planet, scientists have warned. And people actually believe we've conquered nature?
No doubt going after the coveted football loving animal abuser fan base. Hannah Tostensen, director of the Humane Society of South Coastal Georgia, and Lisa Norton, president of Citizens for HumaneAnimal Treatment in Brunswick, complained to Bealls' corporate office in Bradenton, Fla.,
The status of animals in our legal system is in flux and attorneys are discovering creative and interesting ways to use legal arguments in the face of increasingly complex scenarios. Our clients are legally impacted by a vast array of human/animal interactions.
The Foundation for Biomedical Research (FBR) announced today it has launched a one-year national animal research education campaign. Since 2004, public support for humaneanimal research to advance human and animal health has fallen 10 points. Once again, they're just using their most effective weapon.guilt.
It was not a whim or an attempt to get attention, as the sensationalist press will say; instead this is a response to the domination, objectification and commodification of millions of animals (mink, chinchilla, fox, raccoons, etc.) Max Mara has long been the target of anti-fur activists in Europe and around the world.
From the Humane Society's press release. Further advancing its leadership in human-animal studies, Humane Society University, an affiliate of The Humane Society of the United States, announced today that it has received a license as a higher education degree-granting institution by the District of Columbia Education Licensure Commission.
Falcon Wild is a new book in that long tradition, and this one features a more realistic (though still very slightly romanticized) portrait of a human/animal partnership. Stark, a white Gyrfalcon , is a falconry bird born and raised.
By the way, it's not only the name, but the web site is also designed to be deceiving with pictures of cute animals and strong human/animal relationships. NAIA Trust is a 501 (c) (4) so contributions to it are not tax deductible. Clever bastards.
Mars Petcare and Human-Animal Interaction. For decades, Mars Petcare – through its world-renowned WALTHAM® Centre for Pet Nutrition – has led the way in research in Human-Animal Interaction (HAI), the scientific field that studies the bond between humans and companion animals.
It's difficult for me to understand how the act of thanking a god, who likely doesn't even exist, would matter to the nonhuman animal who is killed for the crime of being a nuisance to a humananimal. Whether or not someone appreciates the taste of my flesh after they have killed me doesn't matter to me.
And animal rights isn't focused on what happens in the world outside of us that we aren't directly profiting from and that isn't happening because of us (that last one is nearly impossible, as you can trace many problems other animals experience back to something humananimals have done to them or their habitat or their food).
Finally, until we as a society develop a collective objection to killing humananimals who have committed atrocities, we are unlikely to develop such an objection to killing nonhuman animals. But that doesn't mean we should work toward abolishing the death penalty first, and then move to the case of animals.
Furthermore, there's the notion that though you're not for violence, you recognize that the most significant vehicle for the liberation of nonhuman animals, just like the liberation of humananimals, probably isn't going to be a petition. Or vegan pumpkin pie.
Achieving humane treatment of animals is inconceivable with our big, popular universities teaching the opposite! Thank you for making it possible to represent the animals' -- including the humananimal's -- interests! David Cantor Executive Director Responsible Policies for Animals, Inc.
After all, many activists don't support the use of the same tactics they'd approve of to liberate humananimals to liberate nonhuman animals. There's no good reason to lack confidence that animals who possess a brain are sentient (134). I'm not saying it's not speciesist, but that I understand it.
There was no meaningful discussion about our inefficient use of resources (grain and water) in the feeding of animals to kill to feed people. With regard to cruelty and suffering, it's clear from the film that the humananimal has been profoundly negatively affected by climate change, but there is no attention given to nonhuman animals.
Bekoff and Pierce (a philosopher) are the perfect combination to write this book because whenever you're presenting the similarities of nonhuman animals to humananimals, a philosophical conundrum is created for humans, who like to think that we are worlds different, and above nonhumans.

Well, as it turns out neither a trip to a slaughterhouse nor killing an animal yourself is powerful enough to make people go vegan. The bottom line is that there are many reasons why human-animal interactions are so often inconsistent and paradoxical.
She specializes in Environmental Ethics, Human-Animal Ethics, and Moral Psychology. Jenni is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Redlands in Redlands, California, where she has taught for the past 18 years.
Perhaps she would argue that there is no double standard, i.e., that there is a morally relevant difference between humananimals and nonhuman animals that justifies the difference in treatment. Are the lives of nonhuman animals less important, to them, than your life is to you? I can't imagine what it is.
Like humans, animals have a right to enjoy life. They will still lack the freedom to engage in natural behaviors like foraging and nesting. Most will never know sunlight, breezes, plants or soil. At our farm sanctuary, we see how much chickens rescued from factory farms delight in these experiences.
Does my proposal as to what makes killing another human being generally a major moral wrong in any way help us with deciding what, if anything, is wrong with killing non-humananimals and foetuses? I believe it does help.
Any type of face works: human, animal, space invader, etc. A study by JCDecaux, featured in another SalesFuel blog , recommends: Featuring faces in OOH ads. They attract attention as long as they make sense with your client’s overall message. Making sure images make up at least 50% of the ad. These grab 38% more attention.
I propose that the moral significance of the suffering, mutilation, and death of non-humananimals rests on the following, which may be called the overflow principle: Act towards that which, while not itself a person, is closely associated with personhood in a way coherent with an attitude of respect for persons.
Yesterday, regarding being a minority within a minority , mikey commented (among other things): While I am fairly new subscriber to this blog, therefore not knowing your particular stance, I've often felt like a minority within a minority for my stance on animal birth control.
Now, mind you there are people who are actually mentally ill in the sense they 'can't get it up' without thinking of their mate as a fantasized non-humananimal, I should mention this also includes mythological animals. Law enforcement has better tasks than to fry someone for their sexual preference or activity.
As Montgomery shows, falconry is different from any other human/animal interaction. The post also has, in the appended Comments section, a long colloquy on falconry, mostly pro with some con, well worth a look.].
Humananimals and nonhuman animals share many characteristics, but one trumps the rest: the capacity to feel pleasure and pain, boredom and frustration. There are so many decisions to be made and we're excited to raise our little girl with intention. She can always choose justice and respect.
Because when you compare two species, or rather a nonhuman animal species to the humananimal, the humans almost always come out on top. The point is to show how much another species is like us, but of course never as good as we are, at whatever the measurement is.
