OTHER 'NATIONS'

‘Humankind’s Response to Animals’
"We patronize them 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…They are not brethren, they are not underlings, they are
other nations
caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.”
Henry Beston, Naturalist
