What’s in an animal’s mind? What are they thinking? Dr. Bekoff spends
his life’s work answering such questions, despite the concept that animals
think or have a mind is controversial. “ ‘How do you know animals feel
joy or sorrow?’ I’m asked,” Dr. Bekoff says. “We bond with animals because
we share emotions. If we feel joy and jealousy, animals do too, but they
aren’t experienced identically.”
Dr. Beckon is an ethologist and scientist who studies animal behavior.
He is professor of biology at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and
a fellow of the Animal Behavior Society, winner of their Exemplar Award
for outstanding contribitions to the field of animal behavior. He is co-founder
with Jane Goodall of Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals:
Citizens for Responsible Animal Behavior Studies.
