Summary

Summary

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson's groundbreaking When Elephants Weep explored emotions in the animal kingdom, particularly from animals in the wild. Now, he reveals startling evidence that barnyard creatures have complex feelings too … among them, love, loyalty, friendship, sadness, grief, and sorrow. Weaving history, literature, science, and his own vivid experiences observing pigs, cows, sheep, goats, and chickens, Masson bears witness to the emotions and intelligence of these remarkable animals, each unique with distinct qualities. Shattering the abhorrent myth of the dumb animal without feelings, Jeffrey Masson has written a revolutionary book that is sure to stir human emotions far and wide.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The Pig Who Sang to the Moon [is] wrenching, yet vitally important—at last a voice for the domestic animals who need it most…This powerful, excellent book is not for cowards.” —Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Dogs
“His narrative contains some solid, fascinating information on the emotional life of farm animals.” —Publishers Weekly
”Masson is passionate in his beliefs, and a strong thread of animal rights runs through his entire narrative. Readers not convinced by his philosophy will learn quite a bit about the animals we mostly take for granted. A good choice for all collections.” —Booklist
“Recommended for public and undergraduate libraries and for all animal-rights collections.” —Library Journal
“This perceptive writer peels back our prejudices to reveal the depth of feeling and thought in animals’ minds and the leap we must make to be worthy of understanding them. Eye-opening, warm, thoroughly engaging.” —Ingrid Newkirk, president of PETA

Author Bio: Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson

Author Bio: Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson

Jeffrey Masson has had at least four lives: first as a boy raised to become a “spiritual leader.” While in the middle of his disillusion, he became a professor of Sanskrit at the University of Toronto. Upon graduation, he became Projects Director of the Freud Archives when fate intervened: Masson’s findings on Freud turned Masson into a psychoanalytic pariah, and he gave up both his professorship and his analytic career to delve into the far more fascinating world of animal emotions. Two of his books, When Elephants Weep and Dogs Never Lie About Love, were New York Times bestsellers. He lives with his family in Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia.
