Abstract | The varied roles animals had and currently have in different cultures are discussed in this report. Samples of roles drawn from a catalog of 1000 examples indicated that animals have been used throughout history as food, clothing, pets, heroes, mascots, trademarks, and symbols. Suggestions were stated for using this listing of animal roles in a game, or on zoo signs, or in zoo educational programs. Deficiencies and limitations of the list were cited and ideas for developing a system of meaningful patterns to show the relationships between humans and animals were offered. References were made to specific individuals who investigated the artistic, didactic, economic, geographic, historic, psychological, symbolic, and utilitarian dimensions of human's relationship to animals. The findings in the catalog indicated that animals have influenced and continue to influence culture in diverse ways. (ML) |
