The Importance of Animal Reputation

I think it's important for people to remember that the reputations that animals have or the sorts of cultural significance they have varies. We may have an animal like a black cat or a raven or a monkey and then we have certain ideas about them. And then you look at different cultures and it's completely different. It becomes comical watching an idea across borders and just get transmogrified into something totally different but equally meaningful but just from a different direction.
