2009 Winner of the Animals
as Other Nations Award ~
“We
patronize them for their incompetence, for their tragic fate of having take a
form so far below ourselves. And therein we err. For the animal shall not be
measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished
and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never
attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are
not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life
and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.”
