Anthrozoology

Anthrozoology is the study of relationships between people and animals. It involves looking at how humans interact with animals in different ways, such as pets, working animals, wildlife, and more. Scientists who study anthrozoology want to understand how we interact with all kinds of animals, how animals affect us, and how we can use animals in positive ways. They also look at how we can use animals to help people, like in therapy or service animals. In other words, anthrozoology is all about the connections we have with animals.
