If you talk to the animals they will talk with you, and you will know each other.
If you do not talk to them you will not know them, and what you do not know, you will fear.

If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts soon happens to man.
All things are connected.
