The Human Welfare, Animal Welfare Nexus - What's the Benefit?
I wondered if we might bring this back to thinking about this human welfare, animal welfare nexus. Why are we prepared to spend all this money on feeding our pets? What is in it for us? What's the benefit that we're getting? I feed a lot of animals so I feel well qualified to answer that question. And there has been a lot of work that's looked at the health and wellbeing benefits for people of having companion animals. There's a lot of evidence out there for how we benefit from that association.
