Anthrozoology is the study of the relationships between humans and animals.
Anthrozoology is unique in that it studies the role of animals in the lives of humans, and vice versa.
The term Anthrozoology comes from the Greek anthropos, meaning human, and zoon meaning animal.

In almost every sphere of animals use - pet keeping, farming, research, conservation, zoos, ecotourism, hunting, and veterinary medicine - people are re-examining and re-evaluating their relationships with animals and the natural world.
This process has, in turn, stimulated a growing scientific and scholarly interest in the new field of Anthrozoology: the study of the interactions between human and non-human animals.
The International Society for Anthrozoology (ISAZ) was formed in 1991 as a supportive organization for the scientific and scholarly study of human-animal interactions.

 Untitled Document
While this work is informed by the scientific study of animals, it seeks to add perspectives from sociology, cultural studies, literature, philosophy, history, art history, and the history of science (as well as interdisciplinary fusions of those fields).
Until fairly recently, the status of animals in scholarly work was comparable to that of women before feminism: regarded by the dominant group as inherently subordinate and defined by the dominant group in generic and reductive terms.
A crucial task for anthrozoology must be to decenter the human perspective and discover the animals' authentic reality -- certainly a complex concept, but one that may be more easily understood by antithesis to cultural constructions of animals.
