- How and why animals are so integral to human society
- Where human-animal relationships originated
- Animal domestication and where it stands now
- Animals as pets, in agriculture, as research subjects, in educational roles and as pests
- Changing attitudes of humans towards animals throughout time
- Humankind's moral and ethical obligation to animal wellbeing
- Animal welfare science
- Current animal welfare issues in industries around the world
- Where the relationship between humans and animals may be headed
In the later part of the course, there will be three round table discussions. The topics are:
- An ethical analysis of animals in research
- An ethical analysis of 'cat ownership' in the community
- An ethical analysis of housing systems for laying hens
I can't wait to get started on this subject proper! But first, I need to make a decision on a topic to research on. Which should I choose?
- Animal impacts on humans
- Human impacts on animals
- Animal rights/liberation
- Animals and education
- Animal behaviour and welfare
- Animal conservation

Personally i would choose Animal Impact on Humans.
Very cool! We agree, Animal Impact on Humans sounds very fascinating.

I like Animal Impact on Humans and Animal Behavior and Welfare - dawnie
Animal impact on humans would prob be a choice for many and also well researched and documented.
To be different, I'll choose our impact on them.
My choice would be animal behaviour and welfare.
I hope you are enjoying Temple Grandin's book, she's great, such a sensible approach without the inherent anthropomorphism so many writers about animals and communication load their work up with.
