Product Description
by Jacqueline Pearce (Author), Julie McLaughlin (Illustrator)
All animals need food, water and shelter. But what about their social and emotional needs?
Modern science tells us that animals experience a wide range of emotions--from fear and anxiety to friendship and happiness. What Animals Want is an animal-care book with a difference. It introduces young readers to the Five Freedoms and helps them think about their pets' physical and emotional needs, providing a framework for thinking about the welfare of all animals in human care, including farm, exotic and wild animals. Author Jacqueline Pearce wrote this book in consultation with the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCA), an organization internationally recognized for its innovative humane education and animal welfare work.
