The first ever book to tell us what pigs (and cows and sheep and chickens) think and feel.
Jeffrey Masson served as Projects Director of the Sigmund Freud Archives in London. He has written three bestselling books on animal emotions. He lives in New Zealand.
An entertaining survey of the main characteristics of farmed
animals and a sobering account of how these have been ignored
*Guardian*
Presents information and anecdotes without ever preaching
*Independent on Sunday*
Compassionate, compelling and often tear-jerking... Anyone who has
a heart will be reduced to tears, if not to vegetarianism, by
Masson's argument
*Daily Mail*
In this latest leg of Jeffrey Moussaieff's journey through the
animal kingdoms, this perceptive writer peels back our prejudices
to reveal the depth of feeling and thought in animals' minds and
the leap we must make to be worthy of understanding them.
Eye-opening, warm, thoroughly engaging
*Ingrid Newkirk, President of PETA*
Wrenching, yet vitally important... At last a voice for the
domestic animals who need it most. While every attention is paid to
wild animals and to pets, farm animals are systematically ignored
because the fact that we kill and eat these sentient beings is
almost unbearable to acknowledge. Yet if that is what we are doing,
we must acknowledge it. We must understand our actions. This
powerful, excellent book is not for cowards
*Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Hidden Lives of Dogs*
