That difficult work — the work of co-suffering — rightfully belongs to the reader and requires no didacticism or manipulation to aid it along, only the facts: eight million horses dead in World War I, 1.8 million German horses alone in World War II and then the countless dead that litter the trail of human progress, which has slaughtered animal life in impossible numbers, both impossible to tally and almost impossible to feel.

Anyone who's ever found themselves captivated by a scene from Planet Earth — the BBC's landmark 11-part documentary that awed viewers with its stunning presentation of animal life all over the globe — should be looking forward to Planet Earth II. A decade after the original 2006 series wowed audiences with its artfully filmed, high-definition footage of elusive snow leopards and hyrdoplaning dolphins and adorable polar bear cubs, the highly anticipated six-part follow-up promises an even more stunning adventure, albeit one that comes with a grave warning.
