Thinking about our fellow creatures


"Like humans, some whales live in families, play in the moonlight, talk to one another, and care for one another in time of trouble. We humans can feel a bond there. But is it enough simply to respect whales as whales? Instead of wondering whether they can reason, or worry, or think ahead as we humans can, perhaps we should be content to admire them for their unique minds and bodies." 
Victor B. Sheffer, biologist
