Description

Explore the complex relationship between animal welfare and social equity in Underdogs: Pets, People, and Poverty. This book examines the expanding movement to bring veterinary care to underserved communities, focusing on specific initiatives in North Carolina and Costa Rica. It provides a deep look at how individuals living in or near poverty experience and respond to these veterinary services. For decades, the humane community in the United States focused primarily on controlling overpopulation through sterilization and euthanasia to manage stray animal populations. While these efforts saw success by the turn of the century, the landscape of animal care is shifting. This work investigates how the focus is moving toward providing basic veterinary care and vaccinations to those who need it most. Published by the University of Georgia Press as part of the Animal Voices / Animal Worlds series, this book is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of sociology, animal studies, and public health. It offers a unique perspective on how veterinary access impacts both animals and the people who care for them in various economic environments.
