Document Summary
Right after, the author switches to describing ethnographic data of animals acting ruthless due to the fact that they were unable to read; thus causing harm to themselves and others in order to prove his argumentative point. One example given was at the portland zoo in 1976 where a chimp drank kerosene and was blown up due to not being able to read the danger warning signs. A reason for such desires of animal education is to increase intellectual growth: there are six cases to support the authors claim included in the argument. The accomplishments of the legibility of the animals indicate that they can on some level surpass even human beings. One dog can read the entire bible in around 3 days and a caribou can read music and sing in italian. It is stated that enormous benefits may be derived from such.
