Mammals: from the smallest mouse to the great bison, from a treasured pet, to the sole reason a nomadic family survives. Mammals are entwined into our history and their loss and the loss of their homes is tragic. Their natural biomes are vast and that is threatened on a daily basis--- already we have lost so many species (and many simply are not what they once were). While my heart has always been with those who were not understood, there is a respect that these creatures have earned and a care that they deserve.
