Are You a Humanist, Negativist or Neutralist?
Author Steven Kellert (The Value of Life, Island Press, 1996) lists 10 categories to describe the wide variation in human attitudes toward animals. Check out my latest “Animal Instinct” column in the Burnaby NOW to find out which category best describes you!
Special thanks to Michelle and Rocky, Teenie, Josie, Marni, Anne, Sharon, Dr. Reid Danielsen, Dr. David Fraser and my book publisher Robert McCullough for the information and connections they provided and for the stories and photos they shared.
Thanks, too, to Buddy and Joan for greatly enhancing my words with their sweet faces, and to Rupert, Bailey and Trilogy for their “tails,” all of which I used.
