Jeffrey Masson, best known for his books on animals and animal rights

Jeffrey Masson is an American author, known for his revisionist conclusions about Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis. As Director of the Sigmund Freud Archives after his death and with full access to Freud's correspondence and other unpublished papers, his insights could be seen to be compelling. However, he is best known for his books on animals and animal rights. Listen to a staunch advocate for animals, especially farm animals, cows, pigs and poultry and the problems with factory farming, particularly overseas. With human separation from nature and the many unconscious practices that are predominant today, can we mitigate this by more animal rights and migrating to eating less meat to becoming a vegan? His books: Dogs Never Lie About Love: Reflections on the Emotional World of Dogs. When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Life of Animals. (Translated into 20 languages) The Pig Who Sang to the Moon: The Emotional World of Farm Animals. The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats: A Journey Into the Feline Heart. The Cat Who Came in from the Cold. He is currently an Honorary Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
