Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human interactions with animals in different contexts (i.e., work, sport, production, animal-assisted interventions, and in people’s houses) pose a crucial issue about their welfare. Our understanding of the underlying processes that regulate the emotional perception of animals by humans is still incomplete. The knowledge of the mechanisms and the expression of emotions, as well as the factors that influence it, are absolutely critical to identifying the risks to animal welfare.
This Special Issue aims at collecting original contributions and literature reviews on human–animal relationships, with a specific focus on the physiological, cognitive, and behavioral parameters related to animal emotions, in order to provide new evidence on the effect of human–animal interactions on animal welfare, also with reference to the safety and security of people working with animals in different contexts.
