Humans' suffering often relates to other-than-human animals. It may be the case of professionals or volunteers experiencing compassion fatigue, local people witnessing the culling of dogs, the global community reacting to animals killed by hunters, or people suffering due to their unexpressed animality. Scenarios are numerous and the spectrum of hu...

W. S. Rendra, the most prominent director-pedagogue in Indonesian theatre of the dictatorial era, staged Sophocles’ Antigone in 1974 and Aristophanes’ Lysistrata a year later. Clear cases of political provocation against the authoritarian regime, these productions confirmed his Bengkel Teater (Workshop Theatre) as one of the most disruptive, prolif...

Abstract: Humans suffering often relates to other-than-human animals. It may be the case of professionals or volunteers experiencing compassion fatigue, a local community of people witnessing the culling of dogs, the global community reacting to animals killed by hunters. Human suffering may be due to animal meat consumption. Scenarios are numerous...

Studies on domestication reveal the parallel evolution of dogs and humans. The many debates and the difficulty of adapting science to good practices have resulted in some critical confusion around the perception of dogs and has adversely impacted approaches in dog parenting, dog training, and dog behaviour assessment. While many features of dog dom...

Studies on domestication reveal the parallel evolution of dogs and humans. While free-ranging dogs may represent a window to the early stage of domestication, pet-companion dogs can reflect some essential consequences. The multiple debates, different perspectives, and difficulty of conjugating science to good practices has resulted in some critical...

Free-ranging dogs often are perceived as an element of disturbance, and they are unwelcomed in many areas worldwide. The tendency, in numerous cases, is that of controlling their population via indiscriminate culling (Putra et al. 2013), vaccination (Reece and Chawla 2006) or other strategies. Humans decide to which degree to tolerate the presence...

Anthrozoology is an interdisciplinary field that studies the place that animals occupy in the human society and culture and the relations that the humans build with them. This domain does not deal with the study of animals themselves, but uses the research done in fields like ethology, zoology, compared psychology, primatology, etc. to study the co...

W.S. Rendra is doubtless one of the most influential personalities of Indonesian theatre and literature of the second half of the twentieth century. Little is known about him in the West. Rendra began his theatre activities in the late 1950s. Between 1964 and 1967 he was in New York City – an experience which no doubt influenced his life and theatr...

Free-ranging dogs are one of the most widely distributed carnivores in the world, yet scientists are only just beginning to study their behaviour. They represent a critical field of observation where human-dog interaction can reveal essential understanding about society, human behaviour and dog behaviour. This essential knowledge can be applied b...

Dogs living on Bali Island have been free-ranging for thousands of years. A large group of expatriates sometimes adopt Bali dogs and keep them restricted to their houses and backyards, as is typical in modern western cultures. This provides us with the unique opportunity to compare the personality traits of dogs to their lifestyle either living as...
