That Extremely Huge Holstein Steer in Australia Actually Normal
Dog Talk (And Kitties Too!) (01-19-2019) #606: Featuring Chris Blazina, Annie Petersen, and Susie Coston. Psychologist Chris Blazina discusses his book WHEN MAN MEETS DOG: IT LEADS TO A UNIQUE FRIENDSHIP, ONE THAT CAN CHANGE MEN’S LIVES, and the particular way that pets have an affect on men; Annie Petersen talks about her non-profit organization the Association for Human-Animal Bond Studies which now offers animal-assisted therapy programs; Susie Coston is the director of Farm Sanctuary and talks to Tracie about the recent press about what seemed to be an extremely huge Holstein steer in Australia, that was actually normal sized but looked gigantic because of the size and age at which dairy and meat cattle are usually raised and killed.
