Thanks for sharing. I specially liked Dr. Hillman's last line - to find our commonality with the animal world, we must not start with majestic creatures like the lion and bears but with those we fear the worse - the bugs.

I’m absolutely sure that most of you who see the image above will cringe, shudder or grimace. These fearsome (to some) creatures are Arthropods and they are by far the most numerous set of creatures on Earth. Insects, scorpions, crabs, centipedes and shrimp and many others comprise this group. All these have jointed legs – hence their name. > > >I am talking about a form of “racism” in our human culture – our attitudes to >species other than our own.... > > >http://thebutterflydiaries.wordpress.com/2011/01/04/about-arthropods/ > > > -- Enjoy
