"Human individuals have a long history of symbiosis with other animals. Our domestic interactions with other animals predates our earliest recorded communications. Reflecting on this history of symbiosis, we could say that such interactions had, and still continue to have, some significant meaning to those individuals involved in such relationships. Here the intention is to look at the relationship between humans and other animals within an existential framework, and to focus primarily on the interpersonal relationship itself. For it could be said that all that we do to other animals is psychological preparation for our own interpersonal relationships.

How do animals help us give purpose and meaning to a world that may seem to be chaotic, accidental, and at times totally absurd, that is existentially, in-itself. One of the horrifying features of reality, as it revealed itself to the character Roquentin in the park in Nausea (Sartre, 1965), was that being, actual concrete existence, could not wholly be contained in the ordinary categories of language. “It flowed out at the edges of our categories in a messy and threatening way.” (Sartre, 1965). Human beings are prone to want material objects to be completely predictable and completely under their control (Warnock, 1970). Therefore, given that the world is naturally in-itself, one of the main reasons we exploit other animals is to give us an illusion of control over this in-itself element.
