How and why do people "frame" animals so pervasively, and what are
the ramifications of this habit? For animals, being put into a
cultural frame (a film, a website, a pornographic tableau, an
advertisement, a cave drawing, a zoo) means being taken out of
their natural contexts, leaving them somehow displaced and
decontextualized. Human vision of the animal equates to power over
the animal. We envision ourselves as monarchs of all we survey, but
our dismal record of polluting and destroying vast swaths of nature
shows that we are indeed not masters of the ecosphere. A more
ethically accurate stance in our relationship to animals should
thus challenge the omnipotence of our visual access to them.
