Animals Rebel and Human Folly Is Examined in Atypical Tale
A satirical piece contrasts human claims of dominance with animal behavior. It recounts incidents from Oregon to California featuring a whale attack on a sailboat, a cockfight fatality, and a Glendale burglary suit. A Toronto elephant reunion tale ends tragically when a hunter-killed man encounters an elephant, underscoring the moral: humans aren’t sole actors in danger or mercy.
