Everyone, or almost everyone, loves animals because they share with us the mystery of life, of conscience, and of being. Without them, our own subsistence would be threatened. But our relationship with them is complex and ambiguous. We have many problems to solve in our societies, but the animal issue, far from being a simple frivolity, has become a problem of the great magnitude that directly concerns our survival as a species.
