Kristof Dhont, PhD, is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Kent, UK, and Director of SHARKLab, studying human intergroup and human-animal relations. He investigates the psychological factors underpinning speciesism, racism, and sexism and serves as Associate Editor (Group Processes & Intergroup Relations) and Consulting Editor (European Journal of Personality).
This unique book brings together research on human-animal relations, animal behaviour, and the factors underlying exploitative attitudes and behaviours towards animals. It explores topical issues such as meat consumption, intensive farming, and animal welfare science to demonstrate how humans both value and devalue animals.
