In Carnivore Minds, G. A. Bradshaw challenges the myth of predators as emotionless killers, revealing the complex emotional lives of carnivorous animals. Through examples like great white sharks showing maternal affection, rattlesnakes forming social bonds, and orcas following a moral code, Bradshaw uses natural history, neuroscience, and psychology to demonstrate that predators share human-like emotions, including psychological trauma. Drawing from her expertise in PTSD research, Bradshaw criticizes wildlife policies that demonize carnivores and advocates for a more ethical approach to coexisting with these animals, emphasizing the need for empathy and understanding in conservation practices.
