Everyday Ethology
Welcome to the New Home of Everyday Ethology
Everyday Ethology began as a column shaped by the animals we work with, the people who care for them and the insights that arise between wild and domestic worlds. This new home allows the writing to grow grounded in curiosity, care and openness.
You’ll find updated favorites, new articles, guest voices and ‘Quick Reads’ which are short reflections meant to encourage noticing.
We hope these pieces spark ideas of your own. Your observations and experiences might offer perspectives that help others and we welcome you to share them.
Quick Reads: Ask for Whatever You Want
This piece is a reflection of Say What You Mean and is an English translation of the original Spanish commentary. This reflection does not equate the experiences of enslaved people with those of horses. Rather, it questions how language and expectations reveal a shared pattern: treating living beings, human or non-human as objects meant solely for use.
