Drawing on the latest research and her own work, Grandin identifies the core emotional needs of animals. Then she explains how to fulfill them for dogs and cats, horses, farm animals, and zoo animals. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnimals Make Us Human\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Provocative...We’re lucky to have Temple Grandin.\" --\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Part owner's manual and part business proposal, Animals Make Us Human argues that we can treat animals better if we consider the emotions that motivate them...For pet owners, her perspecitve is invaluable...Grade: A-\" -- \u003cem\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA well-written, down-to-earth look into the lives of lots of animals, including animals that make up part of our food chain.
