The BC SPCA and Orca Book Publishers present What Animals Want: The Five Freedoms in Action.

Written for youth ages 8-14, this engaging animal care book incorporates the internationally recognized Five Freedoms of animal welfare, helping readers understand that animal care goes beyond providing the basics of food, water, shelter and veterinary care; it must also include animals’ emotional and behavioural needs.

What Animals Want provides readers with the tools to recognize the needs of animals kept in human care – pets, farm and wild animals. This unique non-fiction animal care book was written by B.C. children’s author Jacqueline Pearce, and illustrated by Julie McLaughlin.
