Animal Metropolis brings a Canadian perspective to the growing
field of animal history, ranging across species and cities, from
the beavers who engineered Stanley Park to the carthorses who
shaped the city of Montreal. Some essays consider animals as
spectacle: orca captivity in Vancouver, polar bear tourism in
Churchill, Manitoba, fish on display in the Dominion Fisheries
Museum, and the racialized memory of Jumbo the elephant in St.
Thomas, Ontario. Others examine the bodily intimacies of shared
urban spaces: the regulation of rabid dogs in Banff, the maternal
politics of pure milk in Hamilton and the circulation of tetanus
bacilli from horse to human in Toronto. Another considers the
marginalization of women in Canada's animal welfare movement. The
authors collectively push forward from a historiography that
features nonhuman animals as objects within human-centered
inquiries to a historiography that considers the eclectic contacts,
exchanges, and cohabitation of human and nonhuman animals.
