Cows feel and exhibit a range of emotions. They have best friends, show affection and joy just like our beloved dogs. Mothers and their offspring have strong bonds that last throughout their lives, when they are given the chance.

Chickens recognize faces—both human and chicken.
Hens cluck to their babies before they hatch.
Chickens can count and do simple math.

You can tell a turkey's mood by looking at them! The ability to change color is not unique to chameleons and octopi—turkeys literally show their true colors, too. The skin on a turkey’s head (the snood) and the skin under their throat (the wattle) can change between shades of red, white, and blue depending on how stressed, agitated, calm, or excited they are

Pigs recognize each other by touch, and when living a life of freedom, spend as much as 40% of their time in physical contact with their pig friends.

Did you know calves have best friends? Or that they can jump for joy when they’re happy, or get the "zoomies'" just like dogs? Calves are super curious and love a good ear rub.

“It is up to the public to stop attending these theatrical, and aquatic shows, and circuses with wild animals. The rhetoric about how the animals are happy and well cared for are lies. Don’t be swayed by them. The money behind these shows is huge; there is nothing good about them.”
— Tippi Hedren

“True compassion is showing kindness towards animals, without expecting anything in return”
— Paul Oxton

“It made me feel particularly sickened to know that this kind of callous attitude toward animals is repeated again and again in laboratories around this country. Animals, whether they’re dogs, cats, monkeys, or any other sentient beings, should not be subjected to cruel and unnecessary experimentation.”
— Jane Goodall
