I really enjoyed this book. I loved the animal-by-animal breakdown of what is know about how we can make their lives better physically and emotionally. I love how she works to improve animal welfare both academically and within the meat industries. A very practical viewpoint. Although she can be at times repetitive and a little dry, Temple Grandin is a treasure and a boon to animal lovers and owners everywhere. Although not exhaustive, this book gives a thorough introduction into an animal's mind and forces the owner to look through their animal's eyes and consider, truly, what's best for the animal. This should be required reading for all animal owners!
My only 2 problems were that the title doesn't match the subject matter and that the whole book is very "America-centric" and therefore less interesting for someone like me who doesn't live in the USA.
