Abstract: Human exceptionalism and speciesism is perpetuated by Euro-American sociocultural dynamics. Drawing on multispecies scholarship, Thomsen critiques the biopolitical power that perpetuates the killing of billions of nonhumans. He focuses on wolf-human relations given the species’ evocation of polarizing human responses. Thomsen makes a case for nonhuman legal personhood and a new paradigm of ecological rehabilitation.
