What’s more, she not only understands them, she also puts her knowledge to practical use’ Desmond Morris ‘Admirable and extraordinary’ Guardian ‘Temple Grandin is a global phenomenon … For those of us who love animals and want the best for them, Temple Grandin is a beacon of common sense and wisdom’ Daily Mail
