And that fact gives rise to a thought-experiment. Perhaps if we never used nonhumans and instead relied on our own ingenuity we would have created modes of transportation better than those we have today. Horse-drawn carriages and breeding and racing horses and using them to play polo or to schlep kids around is an insult to horses.

They breed in colonies scattered around the Antarctic continent (the number ranges from 60 to 70, and as Kooyman points out, the colonies can drastically change in size from year to year) on the ice (and one of the things I learned from this book is how many different kinds of ice there is in the Antarctic) in the darkest months of winter.

We also try to re-nest uninjured baby birds so we don’t interfere with a bird’s breeding cycle. Experience shows that bird parents do feed babies in makeshift nests reattached to tree branches, bushes, gutters, and even tree cavity sections duct taped to another tree.
