‘They are called ‘animate beings’, because they are animated by life and moved by spirit… but they are not beasts.’ Isodore of Seville [7th century CE] (Etymologies, Book 12, 1:3) With a sweet nature malleable to the will of higher powers, these creature’s hearts are loyal and true. Vulnerable and tame, their joyful innocence is a blessing.
