Those Other Animals

"Those Other Animals" by G. A. Henty is a series of observations that shines a light on the animal kingdom's unsung heroes, challenging readers to broaden their perspectives beyond traditional biases. It seems to argue that humans often misjudge creatures based on their usefulness, overlooking their unique intelligence, historical significance, or understated virtues, as suggested through a look at animals like elephants, crocodiles, and donkeys. The author immediately sets out to change how people think, inviting readers to see past narrow-minded views and recognize the value of all animals, especially those often dismissed or misunderstood.
