Creature Comforts

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Calves kept in confined spaces lick themselves a lot more often than they need to for grooming. Pigs that are tethered in pens bite the bars repeatedly. This exaggerated behaviour causes many people concern, but are the animals really distressed? Colin Tudge examines how scientists are discovering what animals feel about the conditions they are subjected to on farms and in zoos.
