In Tate's short story, Beavertown, it is made clear that animals and humans should be treated equally with respect. This story highlights the notion that beavers' lives are just as important as humans. Moreover, humans should respect beavers and allow them to live peacefully next to them, no matter if they cause discomfort for the human race. This short story can be broadened to a more general view of all animals, not just beavers.
A counterargument that may arise from this short story is that humans' lives are more important than beavers' lives. Moreover, that the human race's comfort is more important since they are the ultimate/powerful animal species. The needs of humans must be met before beavers' and their comfort. Finally, that humans must get rid of the animals that disrupt their existence and comfort.
