  • The chapters are "Animal Intelligence," a consideration of their cognitive abilities in Bava Qamma 34b-35a; "Animal Morality," on whether an animal can be held accountable or subject to law for bestiality, focused on Sanhedrin 55a-b; "Animal Suffering," on Bava Metzi'a 22a-23a; "Animal Danger," or the concept of animals as threats, in Bava Qamma 80a-b; and "Animals as Livestock," on animals as ownable "things" in Sukkah 22b-23a. The prefix also links her method of reading to the phenomenon of micro-aggressions, a form of pathologizing social interaction that reproduces social bias on a personal level. In these passages, the rabbis weigh competing interests: the animal's discomfort, the Jewish owner's financial needs, and his relationship to Jews and non-Jews. Rather, over the past two millennia a vast menagerie of verbal and visual images of nonhuman animals (pigs, dogs, vermin, rodents, apes, and so on) has been disseminated to debase and bestialize Jews.
