Most veterinarians, clinic teams, and other animal care takers do not have the time to seek out quality training on Human Animal Interaction nor was it part of their initial schooling. Topics like cognition, consent, recent developments in behavior, umwelt, theory of mind, and how at-risk and marginalized populations fit into our bond with other animals are novel topics to many in these groups. It is for this reason, we need to seek thought leaders from outside these circles and learn about topics that are relevant to our daily activities from those on the edge of research, application, and literature.
