Animals Rising
Between the impacts of climate change and humankind’s more conscious efforts to destroy wild habitats, it’s easy to view the natural world as being widely under siege and in retreat. Two recent films show how, pushed to the brink, the animal world might someday choose to strike back. Both are revenge fantasies in which cold-blooded humans are forced to pay the price for their speciesism — the term that philosopher and animals’ rights activist Peter Singer coined more than 40 years ago — and outright brutality. That both are from Eastern Europe is probably coincidental, as the sensibilities of the films are completely different.
