The Human-Animal Bond Lecture Series celebrates the special relationship that exists between humans and animals. It seeks to explore the human-animal bond in all its facets and raise awareness that the bond includes companion animals, production animals, wildlife and more. We are mindful of the interdependence that exists between humans and animals and seek to educate, enlighten and entertain through the lecture series.
