There now appears to exist, alongside the human world, a whole universe of vivid animal experience.
Crows recognize individual human faces. They are known to blare vicious caws at people they dislike, but for favored humans, they sometimes leave gifts—buttons or shiny bits of glass—where the person will be sure to notice, like votive offerings.
And fish feel pain.
Although I was only a vegetarian for only a month, I never got into hunting or fishing. But coming from farming stock, I have an even-keeled view on the whole thing. The native Americans probably approached it best, with honor and reverence for what they killed and ate.
