How can we give animals the best life-- for them? What
does an animal need to be
happy? In her groundbreaking,
best-selling book Animals in Translation, Temple
Grandin drew on her own experience with autism as well as
her experience as an animal scientist to deliver
extraordinary insights into how animals think, act, and
feel. Now she builds on those insights to show us how to
give our animals the best and happiest life-- on their
terms, not ours. Knowing what
causes animals physical pain is usually easy, but
pinpointing emotional distress is much harder. Drawing on
the latest research and her own work, Grandin identifies the
core emotional needs of animals and then explains how to
fulfill the specific needs of dogs and cats, horses, farm
animals, zoo animals, and even wildlife. Whether it’s how to
make the healthiest environment for the dog you must leave
alone most of the day, how to keep pigs from being bored, or
how to know if the lion pacing in the zoo is miserable or
just exercising, Grandin teaches us to challenge our
assumptions about animal contentment and honor our bond with
our fellow creatures. Animals Make Us Human is
the culmination of almost thirty years of research,
experimentation, and experience. This is essential reading
for anyone who’s ever owned, cared for, or simply cared
about an animal.
