Looks like we could have used an ark.

I'm glad I asked for a translation

Does anyone have any idea what it meant?

One thing that Brit's comment brought to mind was this...

We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. 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. In a world older and more complete than ours they move 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, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth......Henry Beston

]]Oh my God, Jim that is the most beautiful and complete thought about animals I've read in a very long long time. Thank you so much for sharing this.

On the subject of animals vs humans, we certainly need a different definition of "EQUALITY".
As humans we have historically shown an overwhelming "ignorance" of the impact of our "needs" wants or desires on this small planet we all share and must live on.

These are thorny issues, that will not be resolved in one or even many discussions, but we as a society will need to resolve as time goes by.

We have acted as if our intellectual superiority automatically granted us the "right" to do whatever we wanted with the resources we must husband for our future survival as a species.

We will reap as a human nation the consequences of those actions, and sadly it is our children and grandchildren who will need to struggle with the answers to, diminishing fresh water, lack of ariable land to feed an already overpopulated world, lack of oil, polluted air, and on and on. The future life on this planet is by no means assured.

Just have to say it's not just dogs that end up in stores where they're not always welcome. My son works in the meat department of a grocery store, and one day while he was stocking the in-store freezer section, he was standing beside a woman who's purse "meowed".

This post is classic. What irony.

Maybe the woman was a redhead?

I think that is something that redheads do.

It's funny how once 1 person admits that they don't understand than everyone does.

Probably, a blonde would never do that.

This topic in general (since it's bee from Blockbuster to the dollar store) is kind of like when Gizmo chases his tail. He spends all this effort going around and around in circles, and when he finally get's to his tail to nip at it, he discovers that all that effort to spin around wasn't worth landing nose first in such a stinky area..
