Abstract
ABSTRACTGeographers are paying increasing attention to the importance of animals in and to society. This article traces the development of animal geographies using the example of cattle and their relationship with key geographical concepts of space, place and landscape. It demonstrates the extent to which farming practices and food production systems rely upon cattle, yet deny their existence as animals. Against this backdrop, the article explores the contributions geographers are making to ethical questions and debates about people's relationship with animals. It highlights how geographers are increasingly adopting practices that aim to investigate the autonomy of cattle as animals in their own right.
