Ci sono animali che sanno dipingere? Le scimmie sanno scimmiottare i comportamenti umani? Gli animali si vedono come li vediamo noi? A cosa sono interessati i topi durante gli esperimenti? Perché si dice che le mucche non fanno niente? Sono solo alcune delle 26 domande poste nel libro, una per ogni lettera dell'alfabeto, che rimettono in discussione i nostri pregiudizi su quello che fanno, vogliono e addirittura «pensano» gli animali. Vinciane Despret ci racconta le avventure divertenti e insolite che sono accadute ad alcuni animali ma anche ai ricercatori che lavorano con loro, nonché ad allevatori, veterinari e addestratori. E restituisce agli animali selvatici, domestici e da «reddito», incredibili sfaccettature di dignità, protagonismo, intelligenza e sensibilità. Leggendo queste pagine ci si chiede se non sono proprio gli animali a mettere in campo quella sottile ironia che mette in difficoltà il nostro senso comune, ma anche quello degli stessi specialisti.
