Summary: Animals in Society explores the impact of the
human-animal relationship. We begin by looking at the history
and domestication of animals, the role of pets in society, the
significance of the human-animal bond and its importance in animal
behavior and euthanasia. We will discuss how animals entertain
and serve us, their role in medicine, both in research and pet-facilitated
therapy, as well as such controversial topics as the economics
of farming and animal rights. Other areas of interest will include
animal shelters, public health and zoonotic diseases and veterinary
medicine. Students are involved in several field experiences to
augment the appropriate topics of class discussion. The semester
culminates with a Saturday daytrip to the North Carolina Zoological
Park in Asheboro, including a behind the scenes tour of the medical
facilities.
