Publisher's Synopsis
Animals in Social Captivity is a book written by Richard Clough Anderson in 1914. The book explores the relationship between animals and humans in captivity, specifically in zoos and circuses.

He also discusses the impact of captivity on the social behavior of animals, including their ability to form relationships and engage in natural behaviors. The book provides a historical perspective on the treatment of animals in captivity and raises important ethical questions about the role of humans in the lives of animals. Overall, Animals in Social Captivity is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in animal welfare and the ethics of captivity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
