A groundbreaking collection that explores human-animal relations and deaths with depth and hopeWhen Animals Die is an innovative collection of essays that delves into the intricate and uneasy dynamics between humans and other-than-human animals, particularly concerning animal deaths, which are predominantly caused by humans. This groundbreaking book brings together prominent scholars from various disciplines to address the challenging field of animal death studies, incorporating perspectives from social sciences, humanities, biological sciences, and perspectives from beyond academia.The collection explores profound questions about the experience of animal death for both animals and humans. It examines how humans rationalize animal deaths and utilize deceased animals, and sheds light on the interconnectedness of animal death with issues like race, colonialism, gender, capitalism, and other systems of inequality that humans have established and perpetuated.By confronting these pertinent issues, When Animals Die seeks to deepen our awareness of the relationship between animal death and humanity s involvement in it. While grappling with the reality of humans impact on the earth, the collection offers hope for an alternative future that does not entail the mutual destruction of human and other-than-human animals.
