Most farm animals are kept alive just long enough to be useful to us. They rarely are given the chance to age, or to die with quiet dignity. Artist and photographer Isa Leshko focuses on aging and animal rights. Michael talks to her about her extraordinary book, Allowed to Grow Old: Portraits of Elderly Animals on Farm Sanctuaries.
