The Pig Who Sang to the Moon

Dave at How to Save the World has a review of Jeffrey Masson's latest book on the emotional lives of animals, The Pig Who Sang to the Moon. Masson's two previous books have dealt with wild animals and pets; this one is about farm animals, or, as he says they should more properly be called, farmed animals. Dave says it's a brilliant exercise in gentle persuasion toward a more vegetarian way of eating, or at least to a deeper awareness of the lives of the animals on farms.
