Does the story use animals as a method of indirection to bring challenging subjects to a larger audience? Or blend anthropomorphism and animal characteristics together in a fashion that creates unique characters and stories? Either way, I'm in! Does it use animals because they are cute? I'll pass.

I love the ideal of broad tolerance, refusing only intolerance. Sadly, I’m starting to see litmus tests on the left, not just on the right. The world is richer for our differences.
