Have any of you read:
When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals
by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson

Yes, many years ago. Its like my masochistic, alter ego takes over
sometimes & reads these books that I know are going to be sad. Even the heartfelt stories where the animal doesn't die makes me a blubbery mess.

She's a professor at Colorado State University... she has clips and talks on youtube as well... really helps to show perspective from animal's POV and how their thought processes work...

Does she mention anything about how animals wish they could speak english to tell their dumb owners to stop treating/giving them things for worms that doesn't work?

I wish someone could write a quick short book about the "Powers of DE, Not!"

That only has a chance of getting through to people if it comes attached to a giant brick and is delivered via duck and dropped on their heads...

I so wish I could attach bricks today in my posts.

Umm... Maybe I ain't a duck, but may I volunteer anyway to do the brick-dropping? I know a few that need it.
