Animals in Translation - How Animals Think and Feel

What a clear thinker and clear speaker! How fine that Dr. Grandin did not let the early challenges of autism scuttle her life. I could listen to her for hours. Thank you very much for posting this.

We are so lucky to benefit from Dr. Grandin's unique insights. I love the way she thinks and solves problems. What a beautiful mind.

Temple Grandin is a national treasure. We watched a movie/documentary about her in college for a psychology class and I was impressed. Her practical nature, coupled with deep empathy really touched my heart. It's not often we see such a combination; either we are too practical to the point of lacking compassion, or we are too compassionate that we can lose sight of reality and project our human qualities on to other species. There is something comforting about her confidence and knowledge

Dr. Temple Grandin is the finest example of human being you will ever find

Hats off before you, Temple! thank you for being such an example for what we humans can achieve and do as good for others when we only put up our minds for it!

Theres so much i love about Temple's teaching but my favorite part of THIS lecture is when she called the "Crackberry" user out! 😂 I feel bad for the person just taking notes but honestly, USUALLY its rude when somebody is giving thier time. Good lecture, as usual!

in 2003 I got a 'picture" sent to me.....from our chocolate lab. Molly, sent me a picture and told me she had to go outside to potty. I hollered into the living room from my "throne " and asked Hubby and daughter what Molly was doing and she was she?- she was sitting in front of the back door with her back pressed up against it firmly. Not just lazily laying, but sitting up with tense (urgent) body language. no one was in the room with her as I was in the bathroom and others were parked in front of the t.v. this was not the first nor the last conversation between Molly and I. . I've been blessed with the ability to recognize when an animal is "talking". I've had this gift for as long as I can remember however, I had never allowed myself to slow down and really dissect or analyze a "conversation" and its parts. . Not every animal will communicate with us and many do not communicate with ME. But (can I start a sentence with 'but'?)... But, many animals mostly dogs do communicate with me. Mostly it's when they are in need..... need out. need food. need water. need soothing (I'm afraid). I feel lucky. There are times when it is NOT the beautiful gift I described. Sadly, along with conversing on happy, food, play, feeling love etc they also converse on fear, pain, heartbreak (yes, they do experience heartache and loss). the pictures they send for those are really gripping and unpleasant at times.

Animals from my studies are like autistic people (NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE WHO'S AUTISTIC),HOWEVER they have a strong sense of survival so they do stuff like sharing and whatnot.

"Crack-berry!". I love it! 🤗

I feel like a super animal behaviorist because I would have suggested the exact same thing about the cat in the hallway 😆

Actually starts at 3:46

I wish the video was in better focus.

Skip the intros: 3:40

Why are some of the most important videos, to me, are not at full audio volume. I can barely hear on this video. When other videos I amy need to reduce the vollume. Please try to adjust it if possible so I can actually hear this. Subtitles are just not the same, but do help for which I am thankful.

From knowing how revenue driven the commercial farming is nowadays, and having seen some of the videos how animals are being treated, I don't think anyone is spending time today conditioning animals to anything.

15:45 She's talking about distressing noises and then there's a really loud one on the tape 😩

As to the cat, old age episode... perhaps it could gave had CHARLES Bonnet Syndrome ... which happens to humans, in dark areas, or, at night... yhe eye SEES things that are NOT there, and tells the brain it is seeing: other people, animals, etc, that are NOT there... that could very well scared the cat... in-a specific darker area.. or, other darker area... also- a brain tumor, could act up, if there is a serious dicision needed to be made in the hall, if cat felt lost for some "other unknown" reason... i KNOW this was YEARS ago, but, i hope this has some ideas of help and helps someone, in the future... also--- at certain time of eve, it's digestivo system could have been upset, as the cat sought a place to relieve itself? Old age, in cats can affect them, in various ways and, they cry this way😪

Damn that was a quick introduction? 🤣

she sounds like jay leno
