Abstract

What does it take to know nonhuman animals? In this essay, we explore diverse ways of knowing animals in veterinary education, bringing out biases and preconceptions that determine not only which animals are known, but also how they are known. Contemplative pedagogy engenders a more holistic way of knowing by fostering one’s ability to be truly present with others.
