ākharīn āghūsh-i māmā: Persiska (Farsi) 1400

Frans de Waal set the main goal of his great research over many years on proving the existence of the deepest emotions, excitements, and agitations in other animals, which had always been considered exclusive to humans. The book "The Last Hug of a Midwife" presents an observational and at the same time research account of the exciting story of animal emotions in a surprising way. A video of the last hours of a female chimpanzee's life has been circulating on the Internet, which has affected many people in the world to its limits. The story is that due to the deep emotional connection between this mother chimpanzee and John Van Hoof, zoo researcher, and biologist, the last meeting of these two before the death of the chimpanzee is accompanied by passion, sadness, tears, and mourning from both sides. In addition to the tears that humans and monkeys shed, those present on the stage and the viewers of the video also cannot stop their tears. In the last embrace of the midwife, Du Val shows this video and other videos of this type that carried the eruption of other emotions such as happiness, love, excitement, laughter, euphoria, etc., and of course a huge collection of fields and laboratory research. How much we have been wrong about other animals over the millennia and centuries and we have hurt them in different forms and situations, and now it is time to face our own conscience and make a fundamental change in our behavior towards animals.
