Das Seelenleben der Tiere: Liebe, Trauer, Mitgefühl - erstaunliche Einblicke in eine verborgene Welt

Peter Wohlleben, a German forester, argues that animals have emotions much like ours, and he supports it with examples from his daily work and from scientific studies. He writes about grief in elephants, love in horses, compassion in ravens, and humor in pigs, and discusses what they can feel, from fear to joy. He asks what this means for how we treat other creatures, from farm animals to wildlife in the woods.

Animal lovers and anyone curious about the inner lives of other species will find a friendly, accessible introduction. It gives you stories to retell and some questions about how you look at the animals around you.

Balanced in tone; an easy read.
