“Wild animals, like wild places, are invaluable to us precisely - TopicsExpress



          

“Wild animals, like wild places, are invaluable to us precisely because they are not us. They are uncompromisingly different. The paths they follow, the impulses that guide them, are of other orders. The seals holding gaze, before it flukes to push another tunnel through the sea, the hares run, the hawks high gyres : such things are wild. Seeing them, you are made briefly aware of a world at work around and beside our own, a world operating in patterns and purposes that you do not share. These are creatures, you realise that live by voices inaudible to you.” ― Robert Macfarlane, The Wild Places
