Counterattack
The more globalised the world becomes, the more vulnerable we are as human beings. Homo sapiens knows this, and yet still we carry on as always. We eat too much meat, we use pesticides, we drive cars every day. But one day all those cute kitties, good-natured cattle and shy squirrels will launch a counterattack. Things will start happening very fast – and before long it will all be over. No more fun, no more day-to-day craziness, no more human beings.
