Summary: Promote World Peace- GO VEGETARIAN
Comment: Thank you to another activist who is fighting for peace and love to all beings, whether human or animal. Being a vegetarian is easy if you take a moment to stop and think about the suffering that animals endure to become food. Even if you love meat, please listen to Masson and give it up. Even "Meatless Mondays" would save many animals, but "Meatless Meals" would be evern better. Then, the next step is to go vegan. This book is a good start for those who are still eating other breathing beings.
Love and Peace.

Summary: Opening our eyes and our hearts
Comment: Congratulations and thanks to Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson for another insightful and inspiring book. "The Pig Who Sang to the Moon" lives up to the legacy of "When Elephants Weep" and his other books, as it opens our eyes to the reality of the animals' world so that our hearts embrace the depth and complexity of their emotional lives.
The book is filled with surprising, heartwarming and even humorous stories that illustrate the emotionality of the animals typically relegated to the role of "livestock" in our culture. It also reveals hard facts about how these sensitive creatures are handled between the barnyard and the dinner plate. But mercifully, Mr. Masson succeeds at telling the often troubling truth about what animals experience at the hands of humans, without making the book too gruesome for sensitive readers to endure. The more gory details are tucked away in the endnotes at the back of the book for those who need the information and can bear to read it. The rest of us can move safely through the text, reminded of the reasons to make conscious choices about the food we eat and the clothes we wear, but also entertained by the remarkable stories and uplifted by the recognition of how much we share with our four-legged or feathered brethren.
"The Pig Who Sang to the Moon" is an enormously valuable collection of information and anecdotes that will help us all move a little closer to shedding the veil of denial about who animals are. We'll be the richer for it, as we dissolve the boundaries between "us" and "them" and renew our connection with all the creatures who share our planet.

Summary: The Pig Who Sang to the Moon
Comment: The premise of Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson's book, The Pig Who Sang to the Moon, is so simple. That the farm animals-- the pigs, chickens, cows and other animals-- which most of us regularly dine on are not merely inanimate, insensible, "meat-on-the hoof" existing in some sort of mindless homeostasis until they are eaten.
Rather, they-- like we-- lead rich emotional lives, lives which are in fact most usually horribly stunted by our farming practices which involve, among other cruelties, intensive confinement systems which thwart even the most basic of emotional and biological expressions.
Simple though the premise may be, if humans had feathers lots of them would undoubtedly be ruffled by this book. It's simply hard for most of us to accept-- emotionally-- that those whom we have so thoroughly removed from the realm of our moral concern could be suffering so from our actions.
