Page 3 WESTERN CAROLINIAN September 24, 2010 NEWS WCU professors book on animal WCUs Bradley Ulrich to issues grabs national attention perform and teach in Russia Shelby Harrell | A&E Editor just because they taste good? Why is it okay to feed a mouse but not a kitten to your pet boa constrictor? These are some of the ques- tions Dr. Harold Herzog, a [ it okay to kill animals professor of psychology at Western Carolina University, answered in his book Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why Its So Hard to Think Straight About Animals, that has attracted national attention since its re- lease on Sept. 7. In the book, Herzog ex- plores how people address the range of questions and moral issues linked to their relationships with animals. After researching about eth- ics involved with animals, Herzog decided that he wanted to write a book that would break down animal is- sues in a way that the typical everyday person would find interesting. The many reac- tions he received from his published blogs and columns also contributed to his deci- sion to compose a book. Little did Herzog know just how much attention his book would receive. The week of the release date, Herzog recalls talking to People magazine, and be- ing interviewed on numer- ous radio shows. Even now, weeks later, he is still getting requests and feedback. Its been overwhelming, said Herzog. Every day I ge feedback. Some people hate book which he wrote after 14 months. All the while, WCU was extremely supportive in accommodating Herzog and his research, and even allot- ted him a semester off from teaching classes. Herzog was given a spe- cial place in Hunter Library where he could work without disruption on his extensive research. He talked about his research for the book, which included a lot of in depth reading about animals and ethics, as well as talking with students at WCU about animal issues. Herzog even went so far as to talk to cir- cus trainers and animal rights activists at rallies to get their lynamic. views on animals as PHOTO SUBMITTED | people think about animals today. In his research he | found that most people who are vegetarians actually eat meat. He also found that veg- etarianism is tied to certain | eating disorders in women. Despite he found that peoples atti- tudes are so inconsistent with | animals and many people | feel a need to protect ani- mals. The point Herzog was trying to make with his book was, how can people want to protect animals and yet still eat them some assump- | tions, Herzog found research | that proved that most chil- | dren who abuse or harm ani- mals do not grow up to be | mean or evil adults.
