Our fellow animals

“Owl” (collage), by Violet Davenport, in the group show “Animalia,’’ at Art Center East, Vernon, Conn., through Aug. 18.

The show has dozens of works across various media, many of which are for sale, and focuses on the complex relationships that humans have with other members of the Animal Kingdom, which includes over 7 million species. Some we use for labor, some to milk or eat, some for companionship, and others we consider pests.
