Throughout human history, animals touch so many aspects of our lives – as companions, labor, food, clothing, and entertainment. We call them our children, dress them, and consider them one of the family. Other animals are raised for our entertainment or to be used for research, often enduring cruel and heartbreaking conditions. The need to anthropomorphize these creatures and make them succumb to our whims has created a dangerous dynamic fraught with the best of intentions and calamitous outcomes.
