Sad Cows

Monday, January 05, 2004

Children’s books have long ascribed farm animals rich emotional lives. In his new book, Jeffrey Masson maintains it’s not just anthropomorphism, but that there is ample evidence that the animals we use for food feel joy and sorrow. Also: James Traub on Sunday’s Democratic presidential candidates’ debate and the economic trials and tribulations of Gen-X continue.
