A short loud squeal vs a long grunt - one could mean excitement and the other anxiety. Each sound emitted by animals can give us excellent clues to understand their mental state better. If, you like many of us, are not very sure which is which - an app will likely be out shortly. If you listen to a new grunt around you and you upload it on the app, you might find out for yourself if the animal is filled with sorrow or is just plain hungry or thoroughly joyous.
Why is this app important for us? What is the meaning of words like 'sentient' and 'EU'? Why do we need laws to help our animals around us?
Listen to the podcast to find out answers to these and more.
