Although the chapter is sometimes difficult to follow, Haraway successfully demonstrates an empathetic response to animals who suffer due to the actions of the humans who subject them to research. He uses arguments to support his opinion that animals should be considered collaborators rather than objects that simply react and are superfluous. He examines the different perspectives of the act of killing between animals and humans and states: “The problem is really understanding that humans fail to understand the need to kill significant others, who are responding on their own, not just reacting” ( Haraway 2007, 80).This view is unique to what society commonly believes, so reading this chapter was both enlightening and interesting. Despite the interesting ideas and arguments that Haraway communicates, the chapter often consists of sentences and unnecessarily long words, such as "multiplicitous" (Haraway 2007, 80). This often made the chapter difficult to read and therefore difficult to digest. This can, however, be seen as my fault “When Species Meet” is that the extensive research Haraway underwent proved effective in supporting her thesis and, in turn, created a compelling and respectable thought.
