Every now and then, I watch other animals as they explore- such as dogs or cats as they stop to sniff things- and wonder what it would be like to experience my surroundings as they do. I don't think I'd want to change like that permanently, but it would be really interesting to have a nose as sensitive as a dog's, hearing like a bat's or whale's, be able to see ultraviolet like bees can, have antennae...Listened to an interesting podcast yesterday. Might even get the book

What is the purpose of the Memorial Service?
The Memorial Service is to acknowledge the lives of the animals in a respectful way. To honour them in death in a way that most animals will never be honoured in life. The animals present in the ceremony represent the billions of non-human animals used by humans for food, clothing, entertainment, science and as companions. We mourn their loss and reach out on their behalf to implore others to no longer be the cause of their suffering.
