Humanities’ and natural sciences’ growing interest in animals themselves rather than on the study of animals for the sake of understanding the human has been suggested to have already resulted in an ‘animal turn’ in academic inquiry (Ritvo 2007). Such a major change in our thinking of other living beings results from a variety of scientific discoveries as well as wider awareness and care towards the status and role of non-human animals in human societies and in the so-called wilderness.
