The Inner World of
Farm Animals
by Amy Hatkoff
|
Chickens can count. Pigs are smarter than poodles. Cows form close friendships. Turkeys know
one another by their voices, and sheep recognize faces—of other sheep, and of people. Far from
lacking thoughts and feelings, barnyard creatures demonstrate sophisticated problem-solving
abilities, possess rich social lives, and feel a wide range of emotions. In other words, they’re much
like humans in countless ways. And, like us, they suffer physical pain and mental anguish.
In The Inner World of Farm Animals, Amy Hatkoff combines the latest research on the
emotional and intellectual capacities of farm animals with touching— and often surprising— stories
to bring their inner world to life. Soulful photographs of cows, goats, lambs, and other
barnyard animals complement the text, and add to the belief that these creatures
deserve our attention. In this heartfelt book, Hatkoff joins the growing call for treating
these sentient, aware beings with compassion and respect. "THE INNER WORLD OF FARM
ANIMALS will surely change your mind about the emotional lives of these wonderful beings.
