The Pig Who Sang to the Moon: The Emotional World of Farm Animals Audiobook

" This was a book club selection and I think the person who picked it was expecting something like Animal Farm or Charlotte's Web or even Babe...it wasn't. It was one blurb a bout a particular animal somewhere in the world after another and how even cruelty free farms are cruel. I hated it. "

" It was interesting, but a little too animal-rights-activist for me. "

" For all animal lovers~you might find that you become a vegetarian . "

" This is not at all what I was expecting from the warm and fuzzy title. It is moralistic, and academic in the sense that it is full of references. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. I was expecting anecdotal tales about animals being anthromophized. I could not have been further from the real content. It is about how humans treat animals (poorly in this author's opinion.) I think it is best for vegetarians. "

" this book is fantastic for teaching you about your food choices but also doing it in a way that allows you to understand different animals in such a manner that most of us will never have the chance to witness for ourselves, very fun and endearing and thought provoking all at once. "

" Not a very convincing book. Doesn't have the best arguments I have ever heard. It is still informative and contains a lot of good resources, but could have skipped it. "

" This book brings to light the emotions of animals. I think the only reason that seems far fetched is because we don't want to accept that we are eating something that is a lot like us. "

" This is one of my favourite books - both this book, and Moussaieff Masson's 'Emotional Lives of Animals' have resonated in my psyche ever since I read them in 2004. "

" One of my favorites. Could be life-changing, in that it may turn you vegetarian. "

" I became a vegetarian after reading this book. "

" Uses anecdotes to establish the emotional lives of animals in hopes human animals will stop using those other animals as food. Was hoping for a more science-y book. "

" Research-based perspective and very informative. Reading the specific examples of animals expressing emotions was wonderful. Influenced me to attempt a more vegetarian lifestyle. "

" Nice style of writing, easy to read, and interesting! It appeals to all ages, and makes you think. "

" Interesting book about the emotions exhibited by farm animals. If anyone thinks farm animals are just dumb critters, think again. The author provides many anecdotes illustrating their intelligence and emotion. Reading this book may make you become vegetarian.... "

" This book was a fantastic read- I never wanted to put it down! There are too many great things about it to list, but I would recommend it to anyone/everyone. "
