As we move across the Chinese Zodiac invoking your inner animals, we celebrate the TIGER this month. The tiger in crisis has been present in the collective consciousness during the pandemic as the first example of an animal catching the virus from a human (animal) while many binge watched the sickening saga of the Tiger King. The pandemic continues, more animals are getting sick and the Tiger King season 2 is about to launch. Poachers are still hunting for this magical powerful animal as demand remains for the tiger's body parts, used as a status symbol, as well as in traditional medicine because of their supposed medical properties.

While we consume, co-habit, collaborate, and even
create animals around us - we as humans forget that
we ourselves are animals. Animals serve as our
foods, offer companionship, are sacrificed for
science and are entwined in our myths and stories -
yet always take a back seat as we move forward.
