La séparation entre la nature et la culture, constitutive de la société occidentale, n’a rien d’universelle. Telle est la grande découverte de l’anthropologue Philippe Descola, professeur émérite au Collège de France, qui a montré que les façons de « faire monde » dans les différentes cultures se répartissent selon quatre modèles, ou ontologies. Il a ainsi ouvert des pistes pour réinventer notre rapport aux non-humains et envisager une relation moins destructrice avec notre environnement.

Consideration of the human–animal bond typically focuses on the benefits of companion animals to human health and well-being, but it is essential that in realizing these benefits the welfare needs of the animals, both physical and mental, are also met. Positive emotional relationships with animals are likely to increase recognition of animal sentience and so help create positive attitudes toward animals at the societal level, but, at the individual level, the animals to which humans are bonded should also benefit from the human–animal relationship. A strong human–animal bond may benefit animal welfare (e.g., by motivating an owner to commit time and funds to necessary veterinary medical treatment), but may also be the source of compromised welfare. Highly bonded owners may, for example, be reluctant to permit euthanasia on humane grounds, and the anthropomorphic nature of many human–companion animal bonds can contribute to the development of problem behaviors and obesity. The challenge for the veterinary profession is to ensure that widespread positive sentiment toward animals, which the human–animal bond generates, is translated in to human behavior and actions that are conducive to good animal welfare. This, it is suggested, can be achieved through adequate veterinary education in veterinary and animal welfare science, ethics, and communication.
