Compass – Paws For Thought (2000)

Synopsis

Traditional Christianity taught that humans are superior to animals. Science is rapidly changing that perception. So is non human life important and if so why?

Curator’s notes

This is a thought provoking program about animals and their place in our lives. Most people know about animals through the family pet, but how much do we know about how they think and feel? This program examines that proposition.
