Custom Heavy as Frost and Deep Almost as Life – What Do We Mean by Socialization?

By Karen Davis, PhD, President of United Poultry Concerns

This discussion is inspired by the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth (1770-1850), whose poem Ode on Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood recounts his loss of visionary insight into Nature as he became an adult. What does Wordsworth’s experience have to do with the challenges of animal rights vegan advocacy?
