Cluthe LIVE with Marc Bekoff Tues at 8 PM EST.His new book-Why Dogs
Hump and Bees Get Depressed-The Fascinating Science of Animal
Intelligence, Emotions, Friendship, and Conservation from New World
Library, 2013 In 2009, Marc Bekoff was asked to write on animal
emotions for Psychology Today. Some 500 popular, jargon-free essays
later, the field of anthrozoology, the study of human-animal
interactions, has grown exponentially, as have the data showing how
smart and emotional nonhuman animals are. Here Bekoff updates
selected essays that showcase animal cognitive abilities as well as
empathy, grief, humor, and love. Humpback whales protect gray
whales from orca attacks, combat dogs suffer from PTSD, and bees
reveal thrill-seeking tendencies. While the science prompts
questions about biomedical research and industrial agriculture,
Bekoff's handling of it offers what Good Morning America
veterinarian Dr. Marty Becker calls an "ethical compass". Marc
Bekoff is a former Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at
the University of Colorado, Boulder, and is a Fellow of the Animal
Behavior Society and a past Guggenheim Fellow. In 2000 he was
awarded the Exemplar Award from the Animal Behavior Society for
major long-term contributions to the field of animal behavior. Marc
is also an ambassador for Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots
program, & also is a member of the Ethics Committee of the Jane
Goodall Institute.
