Let us remember that animals are not mere resources for human consumption. They are splendid beings in their own right, who have evolved alongside us as co-inheritors of all the beauty and abundance of life on this planet”

- Marc Bekoff

According to Bible, the animals were created by God even before human beings. Though they are considered to have less sense than human beings still a fact cannot be denied that by various means they are far superior to us. They accept their life as given to them and live accordingly. They never exploit others for abundance nor do they accumulate wealth for the next generation. In fact Mahatma Gandhi stated that a progress of the nation depends on the way its animals are treated.One could not deny the fact that Homosapiens are the most dangerous animal who could destroy other animals and the entire universe for their wellbeing. We have lot more to be learnt from them. We have been living with them from the ancient era however understanding about them and the duty of us to preserve them has been never comprehended by us.

Recently Animal Studies an upcoming field has taken the job of educating man about animals and their relevance with us and the universe. This book as a part of Animal Studies presents the collection of article on animals from different perspective quoting multiple literary works. The collected articles of various authors will provide a nut shell idea of what animals are really meant for us. It is a small venture to provide the short glimpse of collective ideas on animals and their representation in global literature. Hope these articles kindle the interest of readers to have a profound interest in Animal Studies.
