Description
Creature Comforts: New Zealanders & Their Pets - An Illustrated History
ISBN: 9781877578618 Authors(s): Nancy Swarbrick
About Creature Comforts: New Zealanders & Their Pets - An Illustrated History:
New Zealand has one of the highest rates of pet ownership in the world-in 2011, 68 per cent of all Kiwi households had at least one pet: almost half had a cat and nearly a third had a dog. Yet until now no book has explored how pets came to be such an integral part of the New Zealand way of life. Creature Comforts does just this. By chronicling the major events and ideas that have shaped pet keeping in New Zealand, this fascinating and entertaining book explains the strong relationship we have with our animal friends, and how this has changed over time. It looks at the social impact of fanciers' organizations, the moral influence of the SPCA and other animal welfare groups, the educational role of calf clubs, and the questions raised by animal rights activists. Along the way, it tells the stories of some memorable companion animals. The book is beautifully illustrated and includes many previously unpublished historical images.
