I believe humans are having a dialogue with animals, especially companion and domestic animals. Often, this dialogue is cast in terms of pity and abuse, and in a patronizing way, suggesting we have rights to bestow on them. I believe the dialogue is different, deeper, that animals connect with the most ancient, mystical and spiritual parts of us, and they do not need us to bestow rights and pity on them, rather we need to listen to them and create a new language to communicate with them, and thus, elevate ourselves.
