  Our relationship with animals is complex and contradictory; we kill and eat them, yet we also love them. Drawing on a range of case studies, this book attempts to unravel our close link with the animal kingdom. It highlights the theme of cross-species intimacy in contexts such as livestock care, pet keeping, and the use of animals in tourism.
