How Animals Grieve

Anthropologist King argues strenuously that people can--and "should"--attend to animal emotions. She draws attention to the specific case of grief, and relates story after story--from fieldsites, farms, homes, and more--of animals mourning. Zusammenfassung From the time of our earliest childhood encounters with animals, we casually ascribe familiar emotions to them. The author argues that we can - and should - attend to animal emotions. She draws our attention to the specific case of grief, and relates story after story of animals mourning lost companions, mates, or friends.
