What’s the healthiest environment for a
dog who’s alone most of the day? How
do you keep a pig from being bored? Is a
lion pacing in the zoo miserable or just
exercising? How can we know what
causes emotional distress in an animal?
These and other questions are
answered by renowned animal behaviorist
and scientist Temple Grandin. In
a presentation drawing on her latest
research, experimentation, and experience,
she identifies the core emotional
needs of animals and explains how to
fulfill them for dogs, cats, horses, farm
animals, and zoo animals. Her life-long
experience with autism has given her a
unique perspective and insight into
animal behavior. She won worldwide
acclaim for revolutionizing animal
movement systems and spearheaded
reform of the quality of life and humaneness
of death for farm animals.
Grandin is a professor of animal science
at Colorado State University and the
author of Thinking in Pictures and Animals
in Translation. Animals Make Us Human
(Harcourt) is available for signing after the
program.
