Shelby of all the interviews I have seen with Temple, you asked the BEST questions!! Wonderful wealth of knowledge she is, and her willingness to share that wealth. Thank you so much for getting her on and sharing her insights.
What an amazing opportunity! This woman is pure gold, she is so important to the field of animal welfare. Your questions were really well written. Love this, so happy for you!
Love Temple! When i was in vet school at CSU she came and lectured to our class. I also audited a class of hers while i was there. She is just amazing!
I raise beef cattle and I eat beef however I treat the animals that are going to keep me alive with gentleness and respect. I want their lives to be as stress free as possible. Thanks for sharing this.
Haven't seen Temple in a LONG time, glad to see she's still around Edit: I recently learned about zoochosis in zoo animals (I've always known about it but didn't know it had a name) and it is very similar to stall vices in horses. I hear people say how sad it is to see a pacing tiger or a swaying elephant but then people laugh at horses with stall vices or think nothing of it when it's the SAME thing.
First of all, thank you for having and sharing this brilliant conversation! You touched upon so many important topics in such a short time and I kind of want to comment or ask further questions on every bit of it. In German we have this term "Qualzucht" which roughly translates to torturebreeding and is defined as the over selecting of traits to the degree that the animal suffers. For example, the flat noses in pugs and french bulldogs that leave them unable to breathe or cool themselves. This is illegal, but the law is not enforced. How is this handled elsewhere?Is the responsibility solely with the breeding organisations? I have visited a breeding station where they kept stallions in a group. They had four mature stallions at stud and about seven colts of varying age. The stallions come and go for showing and the colts where of different breeds boarding to be reared there, but they were all are socialized like this from the beginning. Surprisingly (or not), they were calmer and more harmonious than an only youngsters group. Concerning the euthanization: I can understand people trying to keep their animals around as long as possible, but I also see lots of people trying to rehome 25+ years old horses and that is just avoiding the responsibility.
Torturebreeding is a very apt term. In dog breeds like pugs or Pekingese/fench bulldog etc. it’s called brachiocephalic, where it’s ruining or shortening their trachea and causes major health issues. It happens a lot with irresponsible breeders, and definitely happens in horses. A horse’s beauty is its curse.
Your last point, regarding letting go when it's time. We humans do that to each other, too. We are unable to let go of our loved ones, even if there's no longer hope for their recovery. We insist on keeping them in machines, or in other ways prolonging their pain and suffering. Note that I'm NOT for human euthanasia, it is far too easy to be used against us, manipulated by some big people in power, as we see happening in certain parts of the world right now. But I'm all for people learning to let go, allowing for natural death, with pain relief etc, when it's the time. Acknowledging that there's no more recovery, there's only the last moments together, and to make them as meaningful, beautiful and peaceful as possible, without fighting it.
Thank you for organizing this interview and for sharing! That is absolutely incredible to get to have this much time with Dr. Grandin. Your questions were specific and you didn't interrupt her in order to try and force a point. Many interviewers do that and it's not effective. Dr. Temple touched upon animal consciousness and had questioned years ago at the passing of a cow "where do they go?". Every single person has their thoughts on this, but I've always wanted to know what her thoughts were on this topic all these years later. I'm very sorry to hear about your little buddy and I hope that things go very well. Even while rehabing in the kennel, I'm sure she would love her kennel in a wagon to go with you occasionally out to the horses for visual stimulus unless you think she would get too excited and agitated. I wish you the best with that.
I've always loved Temple Grandin and everything she's done for animal welfare. Thank you for sharing this amazing video with her!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
I was taught at a British riding academy accredited school that the frothing at the mouth means the hind quarters are engaged and that was good thing. I never bought that - seemed like stress to me.
Thank you for sharing this and for your work with horse welfare ! I’ve always been a huge fan of Dr Grandin. great interview and information shared .. always lots to learn 😊
I am so glad for your increased profile, Shelby, allowing you to present such thoughtful and gentle approaches to horse handling. Very importantly, you are giving horsepeople permission to identify harmful behaviors that they currently engage in, and a path of self-forgiveness and redemption. It is human to make mistakes and learn to grow beyond them! Thank you for bringing Temple to your channel. 💜🇺🇸

@@Milestone-Equestrian the flow working with her was perfect. So well done Shelby, I look forward to more in this format. You really shine.

Great absolutely great Shelby 💥🐝
This is terrific! So glad you had this opportunity. Congratulations!

My mother got to interview Temple Grandin in a movie she made
She is AMAZING!!! I was also bullied in HS and couldn't wait to get home to ride my horse.
So much common sense in this interview. Thanks for sharing
I love this lady and her work. She is a national treasures. I love every time I get to listen to her.
Thank you for sharing this and for your work with horse welfare !
I’ve always been a huge fan of Dr Grandin. great interview and information shared .. always lots to learn 😊
On the horse slaughter discussion: I’ve heard that the stun gun doesn’t typically work on horses. Is there a way it can be done ethically?

Hey! I love this interview! Can I use it in a research paper (with proper citations)?
Go for it!
What a great intelligent woman.
grass fed meat turns sunlight into protein on land that isn't arable. Not a bad thing.
Yes it all depends on sustainable resource management and polyculture
I love Temple. She was key note speaker at certified horseman association annual meeting a few years ago. Thank you for a great interview!🤎👍🏾✌🏾
