The Center for the Interaction of Animals and Society (CIAS) provides an interdisciplinary and scholarly forum for research, education and public-service programs concerned with human-animal relationships. Its aims are to study the effects of interactions with animals on people at different stages of the life cycle, to explore the impact of our use of animals on their behavior and welfare and to use knowledge gained to enhance human well-being and promote the humane use and treatment of animals in society.
