From our good friends Hohn and Margaret Cooper - if you have worked in the fields of wildlife medicine and pathology, or forensic pathology, you have likely heard of Prof. Cooper and his lovely wife, the barrister Magaret Cooper (an absolute must in forensic path) - 

Forthcoming book about human-animal conflict

We have a contract with Taylor & Francis/CRC Press to write a textbook entitled "When humans and animals clash: The science

 and law of human-animal conflict". The primary authors are John Cooper (wildlife veterinary pathologist) and Charles Foster 

(veterinary surgeon, barrister and acclaimed author), supported by Margaret Cooper and Mary McCullins: a combination of 

legal, medical and veterinary expertise.

The book will bring together published and unpublished data on injuries and other insults caused by different species of animal 

to humans (including zoonoses), to property (including livestock) and to economic interests.

We should like to hear from colleagues who are working in the field of human-animal conflict and to solicit relevant input and 

comments, all of which will be fully acknowledged when the book appears in 2025/26.
