Humans have done a bad job of collaborating with other species. If animals could get a message in our mind, that’s what it would be. From the human perspective, animals will always be incomprehensible because of our belief in our own dominance. Werner Herzog has spoken about nature’s “indifference.” It’s not indifference on nature’s part, it’s incomprehension on ours. We refuse to understand nature or live with it equitably.
