I just re-watched The Emotional World of Farm Animals featuring Jeffrey Masson (the author of When Elephants Weep and The Pig Who Sang to the Moon) and it is a wonderful documentary. Anyone who questions that farm animals have emotions should be forced to watch this and the rest of us should just enjoy it. It is also very inspiring for those of us who want to start animal sanctuaries, as you get to have a look around farm animal sanctuaries in America.
Although this film proves the point that farm animals (just like all animals) have emotions and should not be used for food, it does not use violent footage. Therefore, it is good for the squeamish, yet compassionate person. You can buy a copy of the DVD from Animal Place Farm Sanctuary, which is one of the amazing sanctuaries featured in the film.
Check out their website by clicking here.
The link above will take you to the DVD page, but make sure you check out their main website too for updates and rescue stories, or perhaps to make a much needed donation.
You can also watch the doco online here:
I hope you love it as much as I do. You may also want to buy a hard copy to help support Animal Place.
