KGNU - How On Earth

The Emotional Lives of Animals


Listen Later

In this week’s show Beth spoke with Marc Bekoff, well known and loved for his decades of research into animal behavior, emotion and cognition, about the new edition of his classic book, The Emotional Lives of Animals. Marc Bekoff is professor emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder. For decades he has studied animal behavior, cognitive ethology (the study of animal minds), behavioral ecology, and written extensively on human-animal interactions and animal protection. He centers his work and writing around compassionate conservation, namely the principle of, “First do no harm” and the life of every individual matters because they are alive and have intrinsic value, not because of what they can do for us. We talked about the new edition of his classic book, The Emotional Lives of Animals, and many related topics. On his website you can find links to his many books, articles, and remarkable listing of honors and awards. If you frequent the dog parks in Boulder, you may see him watching and talking to the dogs.
