I have never heard our relationship with animals expressed so well, giving them recognition APART from humans, honoring them for who THEY are, without comparison to man. “We patronize the animals for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they are more finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other Nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time.” ― Henry Beston Thank you Matt Bumgarner
