Inter­est­ing piece in this week’s Groene on John Berger’s book Why Look at Ani­mals. The quote refers to the seem­ing­ly con­tra­dic­to­ry atti­tude farm­ers have to their ani­mals: they appre­ci­ate them for the live beings they are as well as for the prod­uct they become. Some­thing I can relate to, despite being an urban­ite who accord­ing to Berg­er can’t real­ly understand.
