Domestic Animals, Humans, and Leisure : Rights, Welfare, and Wellbeing Hardback
Edited by Janette (Adelaide SA University of South Australia, Australia) Young, Neil Carr
Part of the Routledge Research in the Ethics of Tourism Series series
Hardback
Description
Domestic animals are an integral component of human leisure experience and can enhance the physical, social, and mental wellbeing of humans.
The interplay of human and animal experiences of justice, wellbeing, rights, and roles within leisure is the central theme of this book.
Research explores the position of domesticated animals in human leisure experiences, in a wide array of leisure settings.
Chapters question whether domestic animals may have a desire for leisure that is different from human leisure, whether animals have and wish to fulfil needs for meaningful leisure or non-leisure, and whether human leisure needs and desires may coincide or contradict wellbeing interests of animals.
This book provides a venue for the dissemination and exploration of research, which champions the welfare and rights of these animals to have their needs and interests in leisure recognised.
It moves the debate about animals in leisure beyond the current limits which have seen research mainly confined to the exotic ‘other’ rather than more mundane, everyday domestic animals.
This book will be of interest to individuals in the fields of tourism ethics, zoology, animal behaviour, and leisure studies.
