review 1: Temple Grandin has a very simple and readable writing style and great insight into the needs of animal welfare. There are many authors who argue *why* we should consider the welfare of animals, but she is one of the few who discusses *how* we should do so. Here she presents the idea that what is important for animals is not displaying certain behaviours, but meeting certain emotional needs. She then discusses this concept with reference to most common agricultural animals, as well as zoo animals and wildlife. Anyone who works with animals should read her work.
review 2: What a fantastic book. With chapters on how different animals behave and how you can give them the best life possible, this is a manual for anyone that lives or works with animals whether they ... moreare companion pets (dogs, cats), chickens in your garden or on an industrial scale, horses and cows; and even wild animals. Temple Grandin *knows* animals and what she says makes so much sense. As a dog owner, I was particularly fascinated with her chapter on dogs, and how they act as family rather than in pecking order. It really changed my views on my own dogs' behaviour.I highly recommend this book to anyone that deals with animals, it will give you more understanding of why they act like they do, and in the end, help to give them a happier life. less
