Considerable progress in how society regards animals has occurred since that time. However, shelters continue to euthanize companion animals, extinction rates climb, and wildlife \"management\" pits human interests against those of animals.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis revised and updated edition of \u003ci\u003eRegarding Animals\u003c\/i\u003e includes four new chapters, examining how relationships with pets help homeless people to construct positive personal identities; how adolescents who engage in or witness animal abuse understand their acts; how veterinary technicians experience both satisfaction and contamination in their jobs; and how animals are represented in mass media-both traditional editorial media and social media platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors illustrate how modern society makes it possible for people to shower animals with affection and yet also to abuse or kill them.
