Story Booth: Andreas Nussbaumer

Andreasnussbaumer: And we have an interview with a university doctor, and he said this. It's not from him. He said this word, are we smart enough to understand how smart animals are? And of course, we aren't.

So, what we are trying to show the people outside, that these so-called farm animals are very, very clever and very, very social. Just pigeons are able to identify cancer on x-ray pictures. They are able to identify the difference between Monet and Picasso. Chickens are dreaming.

We have surveys about... no, Foir Shuman. Okay, I don't know the right word for it, but it's known that chickens are dreaming. Chickens are able to calculate.

Chickens have a sense of future. You know this marshmallow test? Have you heard about it?

Kerri Lake: Not by name.

Andreasnussbaumer: Marshmallow test is, you present a small kit of marshmallow on the table. And you say, I'm gonna leave the room now. And when I come back, and the marshmallow is untouched, you get a second one. And then, he goes out, and a lot of children, of course, don't think about the future, they take this marshmallow now because it's here, so why wait?

And they did the same test with chicken. And chicken are able to understand this concept of future. That when they don't take the food now, they get, in the later moment, more of it. So, it's incredible what so-called farm animals, and even chicken or pigeons, are able to do.
