Upcoming talks about the pleasure animals feel

[Guest guest]

Hello friends of animals,

 

Pleasurable Kingdom is the first book to focus on new evidence that animals, like humans, enjoy themselves. It debunks the popular perception that life for most is a continuous, grim struggle for survival. Instead it suggests that creatures from birds to bats to baboons may feel good thanks to play, sex, touch, food, anticipation, comfort, aesthetics, and more.

 

We are lucky enough to have the author on our staff at PCRM; Jonathan Balcombe, PhD is an Animal Behavior Research Scientist who has written numerous scientific papers and magazine articles on, among other things, bat communication, turtle nesting, and bird breeding. He will be giving a couple of talks in the SF/Bay Area.
