About

This second book in the series confronts one of the most pressing questions of our time: when does science remain knowledge, and when does it drift into politics or religion? Canine studies offer fertile ground for this reflection, revealing how ideas are promoted, disputed, and at times distorted. What should be a field of learning often turns into an arena of ideology, noise, or convenience.

It explores the delicate balance between evidence and belief, between research as a search for understanding and study as an instrument of power. It questions the habit of treating academic authority as unquestionable, of turning provisional findings into untouchable truths, and of drafting laws driven more by pressure than by comprehension. Rather than offering easy answers, the book invites the reader to reflect, to recognize the limits of every study, and to critically analyze the ethical responsibility that must guide both science and practice.

With references for deeper reading and an extensive collection of free resources, it offers a critical yet constructive perspective for professionals, students, and all who live or work with other species, and how we might preserve their integrity in a world that demands both speed and certainty.
