I don't hold animals superior or even equal to humans. The whole case for behaving decently to animals rests on the fact that we are the superior species.

There is a place where the human enters dream and myth, and becomes a part of it, or maybe it is the other way around when the story grows from the body and spirit of humankind. In any case, we are a story, each of us, a bundle of stories, some as false as phantom islands but believed in nevertheless. Some might be true.
