“the marginalisation of animals is today being followed by the marginalisation and disposal of the only class who, throughout history, has remained familiar with animals and maintained the wisdom which accompanies that familiarity: the middle and small peasant. the basis of this wisdom is the acceptance of the dualism at the very origin of the relation between man and animal. the rejection of this dualism is probably an important factor in opening the way to modern totalitarianism.”
