Wombat, Wombat Goose! The Shadow of Anthropomorphism

In a nutshell, anthropomorphism is giving human characteristics or attributes to Animals. Which in the moment feels good to humans because it reflects the light part of us - the "good" part. The shadow of this is that we then fail to appreciate and understand the very different and separate specific-to-Animal-species qualities. Because we're then also reminded of our dual predator/prey status on Earth. We expect them to be like us and when they aren't, we can sometimes directly and indirectly punish them for our mis-perception!
