Rae will be speaking on animal intelligence and emotions through photos, short video clips and true stories of our extended family of non-humans. While intelligence isn't a measure of worth, humans often decide how other species will be valued or de-valued based on our perceptions of their intelligence. We will also learn simple ways we can use our daily actions and our voices to be the voice for all beings.
