Festival of Ideas: The Inner Lives of Animals
Please note: this is an old event from March 2010
For centuries we believed that humans were the only ones that mattered. The idea that animals had feelings was either dismissed or considered heresy. Today, that's all changing. New scientific studies of animal behavior reveal perceptions, intelligences, awareness and social skills that would have been deemed fantasy a generation ago. The implications make our troubled relationship to animals one of the most pressing moral issues of our time. In an illustrated presentation, Jonathan Balcombe, author of 'Pleasurable Kingdom: Animals and the Nature of Feeling Good' and now 'Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals', looks at animal behaviour.
Fee: £4.00 / £3.00. For tickets, please call Box Office on: 0117 927 5100 or visit in person.
