In the video below, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson explores the question “Why do you eat meat?” He provides the clearest, most succinct, and most honest answer I’ve ever heard to this question. For those of you reading this blog who are still consuming and using animal products, I hope Masson’s answer gives you something to think about as you gauge the appropriateness of your habits. Here’s the video — enjoy!
Masson has an amazing series of books on the emotional lives of animals. I’ve personally read the following books which I highly recommend (Consumer Notice – the links to Amazon below are paid affiliate links):
- When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals (with Susan McCarthy) (Available from Amazon.com
and Amazon.ca
.)
- The Pig Who Sang to the Moon: The Emotional World of Farm Animals (Available from Amazon.com
and Amazon.ca
.)
- The Emperor’s Embrace: Reflections on Animal Families and Fatherhood (Available from Amazon.com
)

I discovered just last night that Masson has jointed Twitter (@jeffreymmasson). You can follow him to get updates about his books, tours, and lectures.
Of Masson’s books I’ve read, my favorite thus far has been The Emperor’s Embrace (simply entitled in The Evolution of Fatherhood outside of Canada and the USA).
