"The Emotional World of Farm Animals" on PBS Thursday June 2

"The Emotional World of Farm Animals" will air on PBS across the USA on Thursday June 2. It is on at 9pm in many markets but you should check your local listings to find out which PBS station in your area will air the documentary and at what time. One way to do that is on http://www.tvguide.com. You can enter your zipcode in to get your local listings, and enter "The Emotional World of Farm Animals" into the site's search engine.

The following description of the documentary comes from Animal Place, a sanctuary in Northern California:

"The Emotional World of Farm Animals is a delightful documentary for viewers of all ages about the thinking and feeling side of animals that are all too often just viewed as food. Jefferey Masson, author of When Elephants Weep and Dogs Never Lie About Love, leads viewers through the personal journey he underwent while writing his latest book, 'The Pig Who Sang to The Moon.' This journey into the sentient, emotional lives of farm animals brings Masson to animal sanctuaries around the country where caregivers and the animals themselves tell their harrowing stories of rescue and escape . Masson delves into the rich ancestry of these curious and intelligent animals and interviews top experts in animal behavior who offer scientific perspectives on these amazing creatures."

Though I have not yet seen the documentary, I have heard nothing but rave reviews. Watch if you can, and please thank PBS for airing it.
