Emotion in Farmed Animals Ethical Challenges for Animal Welfare

Farmed animals all have stories to tell but few get the chance to do so; this book amplifies their unique voices via the narratives of rescued animals. Each chapter looks at a species' entwined history with humanity as well as the biological and neurological structures that confirm their ability to experience positive and negative emotions.
