This is true kinship with animals, a podcast that offers you stories, conversations and possibilities on how you might deepen your relationship with animals and relate to them through a new place of understanding. My name is Janet Roper, your companion on this journey.
This episode addresses our human tendency to infantilize animals when we only see them as cute. Later in the episode I’ll be telling you about a book I’m writing on grieving the loss of animal family members and then requesting we work in reciprocity with the free online content I offer.
Episode Quotes
“I’m not sure why, because it’s a basic truth that I do not spider as well as Spider nor hedgehog as well as Hedgehog and neither do you.”
“True kinship with animals works to eliminate the need to experience animals like humans in animal form. They are not. They are their own species with their own integrity and agency.
