The case for animal emotions and why they matter -- Cognitive ethology : studying animal minds and hearts -- Beastly passions : what animals feel -- Wild justice, empathy, and fair play : finding honor among beasts -- Hard questions : answering skeptics and addressing uncertainty in science -- Ethical choices : what we do with what we know.
Based on award-winning scientist Marc Bekoff’s years studying social communication in a wide range of species, this important book shows that animals have rich emotional lives. Bekoff skillfully blends extraordinary stories of animal joy, empathy, grief, embarrassment, anger, and love with the latest scientific research confirming the existence of emotions that common sense and experience have long implied. Filled with Bekoff’s light humor and touching stories, The Emotional Lives of Animals is a clarion call for reassessing both how we view animals and how we treat them.
