You’re more human

I’ve had a piece of paper torn from a newspaper article sitting on my desk for almost two years.  I was cleaning up a few days ago, and figured I should just post the snippet of the article which caused me to want to save it.  The snippet says, You’re not less human because you love your animals unconditionally. You’re more human. The measure of your humanity is the extent to which you raise the standard of taking responsibility for those who can’t help themselves. The speaker was veterinary behaviorist Karen Overall.  You can find the entire article at USA Weekend.

  1. Karen Overall was one of the brightest and most underrated instructors I had at Penn. Seriously. The administration did not take her seriously enough and I find it horrible that they did not do whatever was necessary to keep her there. My three rotations through her behavior service taught me so much. I still refer to my lecture notes from her class. She is seriously one of the most intelligent people I have ever met, and that is saying a LOT.

  2. I’ve wanted to read her book, and after your praise of her, it’s hard to resist!
