The Sense of Hearing in Animals

Humans have domesticated and handled animals for 14,000 years.  Modern times have brought urbanization and technology which have caused a drastic decline in human-animal interactions.  As a result, the knowledge of how to properly handle, restrain, and house animals is in decline.  In Better Animal Handling, C.B.
