I attended an amazing exposition in Paris this Sunday : "Bêtes et Hommes". i.e. "Beasts and Men". Throughout the show, you can see that not only animals have a story, developed abilities (the crow with the tool, but also the parrot able to unscrew the top of a food box, the pigeon able to count, the fox able to recognize signs, the chimpanzee able to cure its disease), but also they can change their attitude toward men, and even develop abilities if we look at them with interest.
A few live animals are to be contemplated : crows, vultures, and manatees. All the show invites us to change our point of view, and let us ask ourselves how we want to live with animals; and the question will not be answered easily. If any of you is visiting Paris before the 20th of January, do not miss this amazing show at "la grand halle de la villette".
