E-mail Requests for Information

Since starting this site in 1996, I have been overwhelmed by e-mail, particularly from (aspiring) students.

Given my heavy workload and other activities, I cannot always answer all of this mail. This site contains a FAQ that should answer most of your questions, plus an introductory reading list for literature on human-animal relations.

So kids, before sending me any mail, please check out the site thoroughly to look for an answer to your question. Also, remember that, as a sociologist, I am not always qualified to answer all of your queries, particularly if they relate to issues on animal behaviour, clinical veterinary matters, legislative matters in the US (yes, folks - we don't all live in North America!) and so forth - so don't waste your time (and mine) by asking!

For all relevant enquiries, I may be reached at: jo@swabe.org
