Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson's groundbreaking When Elephants Weep explored emotions in the animal kingdom, particularly from animals in the wild. Now, he reveals startling evidence that barnyard creatures have complex feelings too … among them, love, loyalty, friendship, sadness, grief, and sorrow. Weaving history, literature, science, and his own vivid experiences observing pigs, cows, sheep, goats, and chickens, Masson bears witness to the emotions and intelligence of these remarkable animals, each unique with distinct qualities. Shattering the abhorrent myth of the dumb animal without feelings, Jeffrey Masson has written a revolutionary book that is sure to stir human emotions far and wide.
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson is the author of twenty-five books, including the New York Times bestselling When Elephants Weep and Dogs Never Lie about Love, as well as The Pig Who Sang to the Moon, The Face on Your Plate, and The Assault on Truth. He was professor of Sanskrit at the University of Toronto, where he also trained as a Freudian analyst. An American, he lives in New Zealand with his family and companion animals.
Tim Jerome’s Broadway performances include Beauty and the Beast, Man of LaMancha, Cats, Me and My Girl, Lost in Yonkers, The Magic Show, and Grand Hotel. His film credits include Deconstructing Harry, Husbands and Wives, I.Q., and Billy Bathgate. He has also appeared on television in All My Children, Lou Grant, Laverne and Shirley, and Barney Miller.

Reviews
“The Pig Who Sang to the Moon [is] wrenching, yet vitally important—at last a voice for the domestic animals who need it most…This powerful, excellent book is not for cowards.”
“His narrative contains some solid, fascinating information on the emotional life of farm animals.”
”Masson is passionate in his beliefs, and a strong thread of animal rights runs through his entire narrative. Readers not convinced by his philosophy will learn quite a bit about the animals we mostly take for granted. A good choice for all collections.”
“Recommended for public and undergraduate libraries and for all animal-rights collections.”
“This perceptive writer peels back our prejudices to reveal the depth of feeling and thought in animals’ minds and the leap we must make to be worthy of understanding them. Eye-opening, warm, thoroughly engaging.”
