  • The Emotional World of Farm Animals

    4_1 Farm Animals

    Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson’s latest book, The Pig Who Sang to the Moon, is a groundbreaking work that explores the emotional lives of pigs, cows, chickens, sheep, goats, and ducks. In both the book and its companion piece, this documentary, The Emotional World of Farm Animals, Masson learns about and develops relationships with animals most often ignored—except when they’ re being eaten. As he shares his new knowledge and insights with us, it’s easy to understand his affection for these animals—and his conviction that we must change the horrendous reality most of them live.
