Great piece altho I could only read the one article on race horses; alas for the rest I'd have to subscribe to the mags. Wild animals would definitely be far better off with humans gone; many domestic animals have horrific run ins with humans and many also have beautiful relationships with their owners...kind of the luck of the draw for them.
I believe the Times allows me to share individual articles with a live link...I'll have to check on that. If anyone else cannot read these links, please let me know and I'll attempt to send you a link that you can access. The NPR link is to their radio show and quite interesting. The other Times article I noted is a masterpiece of ideas and writing, that I hope many can access!
Yes, wild animals would certainly be better off without humans destroying their habitats...And as you said, our relationships with domesticated animals can be beautiful...
