Interesting-looking video linked from this site. I don't have sound on my work computer so it's frustrating to say the least!

Podcast interview with Marc Bekoff - Respecting the Emotional Lives of Animals

October 22 2007, 10:31 AM 

This one is also too technologically-challenging for my computer set-up but am posting it anyway in case you're interested........

Whales-online.org speaks with Marc Bekoff, Professor Emeritus of Ecology
and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado and Fellow of the
Animal Behavior Society, about his new book Animals Matter and his ideas
about treating animals and the environment more humanely and
compassionately. Marc's book considers the full spectrum of topics
relating to animals in the human world including animal sentience and
animal emotions.

Marc explains that the difference between humans and non-humans animals
are differences in degree, rather than difference in kind, and that it
is good science to say that animals experience emotions. He shares some
important insights about the need for human society to learn too
co-exist with animals, and how we should learn to adapt our lives to
theirs rather than always asking them to adapt to their lives to ours.

Whales-online.org weekly podcasts feature news and inside interviews
with experts in the field of whale, dolphin and porpoise protection,
through friendly, informal, conversational and in depth discussions. The
podcasts provide a unique opportunity to listen to the work these
experts do, hear the details behind what is topical, and insights about
future directions. Whales-online podcasts are all supported by a website
providing additional information, online discussions, areas for kids and
words from the wise where scientists and specialists publish their
independent thoughts and ideas about whale, dolphin and porpoise
protection.

Animals
