Whales-online.org speaks with Marc Bekoff, Professor Emeritus of Ecology
and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado and Fellow of the
Animal Behavior Society, about his new book Animals Matter and his ideas
about treating animals and the environment more humanely and
compassionately. Marc's book considers the full spectrum of topics
relating to animals in the human world including animal sentience and
animal emotions.
Marc explains that the difference between humans and non-humans animals
are differences in degree, rather than difference in kind, and that it
is good science to say that animals experience emotions. He shares some
important insights about the need for human society to learn too
co-exist with animals, and how we should learn to adapt our lives to
theirs rather than always asking them to adapt to their lives to ours.
