  1. (1 other version)In the Eye of the Beholder: Changing Social Perceptions of the Florida Manatee.Theresa Goedeke - 2004 - Society and Animals 12 (2):99-116.
    Little understood in early U.S. history, the Florida manatee suffered at the hands of people. After the manatees were listed as endangered, scientists began to study manatees and gained much knowledge about them. With education efforts, the species then went from inspiring acts of cruelty to inspiring dedication and admiration among scientists, policymakers, and the interested public. The image of the manatee underwent a transformation. The social and cultural reinvention of the Florida manatees improved their chances for protection.

  • The epistemology of meat eating.C. E. Abbate - 2021 - Social Epistemology 35 (1):67-84.
    A widely accepted view in epistemology is that we do not have direct control over our beliefs. And we surely do not have as much control over our beliefs as we have over simple actions. For instance, you can, if offered $500, immediately throw your steak in the trash, but a meat-eater cannot, at will, start believing that eating animals is wrong to secure a $500 reward. Yet, even though we have more control over our behavior than we have over (...)

  • Humans and Sharks: Changing Public Perceptions and Overcoming Fear to Facilitate Shark Conservation.Rainer Panoch & Elissa L. Pearson - 2017 - Society and Animals 25 (1):57-76.
    There is worldwide concern regarding the conservation status of sharks. Public perceptions of sharks, often based on inaccurate negative stereotypes transmitted through the media and popular culture, appear to be limiting support for their conservation. Yet, there is a paucity of research exploring the knowledge and attitudes of the general public regarding sharks and their conservation, as well as approaches to improve these factors and encourage greater conservation support. The primary aim of this review is to explore the role that (...)

  • The Importance of Human Emotions for Wildlife Conservation.Nathalia M. Castillo-Huitrón, Eduardo J. Naranjo, Dídac Santos-Fita & Erin Estrada-Lugo - 2020 - Frontiers in Psychology 11.
    Animals have always been important for human life due to the ecological, cultural and economic functions that they represent. This has allowed building several kinds of relationships that have promoted different emotions in human societies. The objective of this review was to identify the main emotions that humans show towards wildlife species and the impact of such emotions on animal populations’ management. We reviewed academic databases to identify previous studies on this topic worldwide. An analysis of the emotions on wildlife (...)
