In part 1 of our 3-part series, SUNUP's Austin Moore introduces us to livestock handling expert Temple Grandin and talks with her about her extensive research into livestock handling techniques.
The sign of an expert is they are able to talk at length about their particular subject matter, and explain it in a way that is understandable to a naive person. Grandin on livestock handling? CHECK and CHECK.
Not everyone can live vegan or vegetarian. Good for you if you can but I get abdominal pain and cramps when I tried to go vegan. I'm not willing to make myself sick. Instead I've decided to raise my own meat to be sure they are treated right. Not everything is this world is black and white.
Kelsie Beaulieu not everything is that grey either, you cant just go home kill your own animals so they will still go to the works. Unless you are going to breed cattle you will be getting them from another farmers practices around breeding time. I raise my own steers from weaners & Im a vegetarian I also raise quail & chickens they all are treated well when they live with me.
I'm sorry you had problems..beans are tough which is why I use milk of magnesia. It is an adjustment for your body. I did it slowly. God bless you and have a happy holiday
What a remarkable woman!her methods should be made compulsory all around the world!i hope she can do the same for the horse slaughter industry?i don't think we'll ever stop the slaughter of horses but we should be able to make it as humane as we possibly can!No animal should have to suffer before its life is taken.Thank you Temple,from myself & my cows!🐮🙂
3:01...I can't train a student on feeling in tune with the horse, but there are definite behavioral signs that the cow or horse is getting scared or upset, and the student can be taught to look for these signs.
At 1:17 we as humans communicate verbally. In fact, over 75% of human communication is NON verbal, and I love Temple Grandin.....truly remarkable woman !!!
I am in a speech class and i have to present a speech that is important to me. I am a massive fan of temple grandin. she gets it completely and I would love to present one to my class. Any one know where i can print off a copy so i can present it?
This is an amazing Women and without her amazing Mother she could not have gone as far as she did. I loudly applaud her a great Mother for helping her daughter to go as far as she has. I grew up around Farm animals and the one important thing a cow does to communicate is the tone of their "Moo, first it's a rather quite Moo, then it starts to elevate until their Moo becomes verbal and their Mouth is open and their getting loud and frustrating and very high pitched and that means I need water, I need food, I am uncomfortable standing in all this cold sloppy mud, I am hurt and they can smell their own blood and that's very bad, and Temple is spot on when it comes to their verbal SOS, calls for help. Don't ignore that tone of the MOO, it really does mean something is wrong.
FOR TO KNOW ABOUT ANIMALS BEHAVIOR IS JUST ABOUT COMMON SENSE......SPEND TIME WITH THE ANIMAL THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED ABOUT AND WATCH HIM SINCE HE IS YOUNG UNTIL HE MATURE. JUST NEED TO REMEMBER THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT STATUS ; ALPHA MALE , BETA MALE AND OMEGA MALE......PAY ATTENTION WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL YOU HAVE FOR TO KNOW IN WHAT STATUS HE BELONG TO
If it weren't for Temple Grandin, I don't think kids like Greta Thunberg would be following in her footsteps in bringing awareness of really serious problems in the world that we take too much for granted. I hope the two of them will get to meet each other someday, and that we can inspire more people to be like them for future generations.
Ya I highly doubt that Temple has anything to do with Greta. Temple has common sense while Greta is completely idealistic but has no common Sense on the issue and hasn’t actually thought through the topic. Temple worked her way and studied her way to providing realistic, helpful, and common sense solutions, while Greta was highjacked by a group of self righteous phonics, offers zero solutions, and doesn’t even really understand the ramifications of what she is pulling a for and promoting. I don’t blame Greta, as she is a child. I blame the extremists who use her and put her on a fake pedestal. Just like the leaders and activists (extremists) in Canada who think it makes sense to shut down projects and pipelines in their own country so they can pay for the same resource to be shipped here with more cost and more environmentally detrimental effects.
this bred of cattle is so foreign to me with their "flight zone" here in austria you can walk up to and pet or feed most cattle on the mountains - they will even come up to you at their fences and are sometimes left roaming freely - you can look up "schoeckl kuehe" which are located at a pretty touristy spot and even walk around on the childrens playgrounds
It is wild to me that you believe this is a “breed” of cattle. All cattle will act that way, as that is their natural proclivity. The environment is what changes things. Do you honestly believe that there are not places in North America where cattle are calm and comfortable and are able to be pet? There are tonnes of places like that and tonnes of animals like that. However Temple is dealing with feedlots and slaughterhouses. That is a completely different environment. The environment is what causes this behaviour. That and the fact that with that many animals they feed off each other. The energy and fear or panic spreads and infects the herd. Like do you honestly believe that there is a BREED OF CATTLE that is just highly reactive? That this has nothing to do with what they’re being put through? That seems absolutely shockingly ludicrous to me…so I feel like you’re either trolling or joking.
@@Burlykim13 i'm sorry i'm not an expert, i was just trying to convey that this kind of cattle behavior seems very foreign to me - but i think it's not very far-fetched that there are many different kinds of cattle - you being so offensive about it is what throws me off, it's like if i told you "do you HONESTLY believe that there are different "BREEDS" of dogs??" - i'm neither trolling nor completely idiotic in my opinion, i don't understand why you need to make a fuss about it...
@@DiabolicaLuke maybe it is a language interpretation thing. I absolutely apologize if I misinterpreted your intended points. What I will say, is I was shocked to read that you think that there is some wildly aggressive breed of cattle in North America. Even with dogs, the American Pit Bull Terrier is a breed of dog people think is crazed and bloodthirsty but nothing could be further from the truth. So, I hope you now understand that it is the environment and not the type of cattle that accounts for the behaviour. Even in your examples, would you be calm standing on a mountainside? How about in comparison to being prodded and poked into a place that is completely unknown and foreign and has nothing but scary sights, sounds, and smells, to be killed? I think those two situations warrant very different reactions, and I’m sure you will agree. My apologies for coming off aggressive. I hope you understand what I mean now, and why I commented what I did. Take care.
I suggest many of you visit local cattle slaughter plants. Get back with me what this woman has actually done to help these cows. She is nothing but a shill for the agricultural industrial complex that runs all slaughter plants.
SHEILA Stewart You must live under a rock if you truly believe there's been zero improvement. Before her methods very few people ever cared to understand animal behavior.
BS to both of you. Lots of people cared, did their best, and understood animal behavior very well long before Temple Grandin. She has made huge strides in helping improve the way things are done on a large scale though. Sheila, I don't think you'd actually want people to do visit these places because they'd realize there is no ag industrial complex running everything like some big brother conspiracy, and anyone with a brain would clearly be able to see the vast improvements both she and others have made. I love my cows. I drink their milk and eat them too. You would probably help animals most by keeping your head stuck in the sand, your iPhone, TV, etc
