There are many images and videos that demonstrate the emotional lives of animals. This YouTube video of two moose playing in a sprinkler with Mom watching on is one of my favorites. The moose frolic and play while Mom stands by slightly on guard, a little nervous, but allowing her kids to take a risk.
Marc Bekoff joins me tomorrow December 8th live on Conscious Animal Radio. I am so excited and am really looking forward to speaking with him.
His work in documenting and promoting from a scientific perspective the fact that animals do indeed have emotions is changing the way humanity understands their relationships to all animals.
For those who love animals, there has never been doubt that animals have emotional experiences from joy to grieving; but as is true to form, science required evidence, which is one question I have for Marc; "Why is that science needs proof?" and "Why does society place so much weight in scientific documentation when we in our hearts and intuition have our own truth."
I encourage you to call in with your own questions or your own stories of the emotional lives of animals that you know at 646-716-7281 or leave your questions here as comments and I'll ask them for you.
See you Monday at 12 Noon Est.
Blessings,
Christine Agro
