      abstract = {The ethics of human/animal relationships is a growing  field of academic research and a topic for public  discussion and regulatory interventions from law-makers,  governments and private institutions. Human/animal  relationships are in transformation and understanding the  nature of this process is crucial for all those who believe  that the enlargement of moral and legal recognition to  nonhuman animals is part of contemporary moral and  political progress. Understanding the nature of this  process means analysing and critically discussing the  philosophical, scientific and legal concepts and arguments  embedded in it. This book contributes to the discussion by  bringing together the ideas and reflections of leading  experts from different disciplinary backgrounds and with a  range of scientific perspectives. This book both provides  an up-to-date examination of the transformation of  human/animal relationships and presents ideas to foster  this process.
