ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
IN MORE THAN A quarter century in the field of animal protection, I’ve learned from so many people along the way. I regret that I cannot thank them all here.
I do wish, however, to thank some individuals who helped very directly with this work. Meg Olmert helped me on the biochemistry of the human-animal bond, and Steve Kellert was generous in talking to me about the broader connections between humans and nature. James Serpell strengthened my understanding of pet-keeping through the ages. My friend Ed Duvin thoughtfully encouraged my work at many levels, as did another friend, Bill Nicholson. Laura Hobgood-Oster helped me to develop my ideas on animal sacrifice and religion by discussing her scholarship with me.
On the issue of animal intelligence, I want to thank Barrett Duke of the Southern Baptist Convention for sharing his insights at just the right time about the emotional intel
ligence of animals. Marc Bekoff and Jonathan Balcombe, through their writings, are helping to change the way the world views animal consciousness and cognition, and I am grateful to them both. Jane Goodall, Alexandra Horowitz, Jeffrey Masson, and Peter Singer have been pioneers in reaching a mass audience and helping to open up so many people to new possibilities in our relationship with animals.
