Watch, Listen, and Communicate with Farmed Animals

Many people know that pigs root around in the ground, that cows have four stomachs, and that chickens have wings, but some of these beings also make friends, remember faces, can play games, and exhibit other characteristics that people often attribute only to humans.  You will only know this, however, if you pay attention.  By watching, listening, and communicating with farmed animals you will discover a new world and find out how much we have in common with these wonderful beings.  You may also decide that we need to treat these animals - cows, pigs, goats and chickens – differently and with much more respect.   Click here to learn more about these animals and possible activities for your classroom.
