Veterinarians are essential allies to the millions of us who experience the human-animal bond.
From Elizabeth Marshall Thomas
In my cosmology, indigenous wild deer are more important than exotic ornamental shrubs.
Animals need to understand other species, if only to prey on them or escape from them.
We fill the woods with invasive primates camouflaged to look like piles of leaves who sneak around, sprinkling estrus doe urine and manipulating gadgets that sound like antlers clashing.
With all due respect to the nation's fish and game departments, more deer die because people hunt them than because people feed them.
Many expressions of a cat's feelings seem deeply related to the capture of live prey.
We are surely the primary agent of death for all members of the cat tribe. For many if not most cat species, our depredations must surpass accidents, disease, and even starvation by a considerable margin.
The story of cats is a story of meat.
People are perfectly glad to accept the idea that dogs love us, so they must be able to love each other.
Dogs are a window on the natural world.
