How Animals Grieve

Beschreibung

Scientists have long cautioned against attributing familiar emotions to animals, arguing that it limits our ability to truly comprehend the lives of other creatures. The author focuses on the specific case of grief, and relates story after story - from field sites, farms, and homes - of animals mourning lost companions, mates, or friends.
