A small video camera is their constant companion.

Borametz—half plant, half animal—a hybrid of the incurable vegetable lamb, firmly rooted to the ground as a four-legged plant, complaining about nature—what does it want to tell us, standing there in the drizzling rain, inconsolable and indignant, as it speaks for the last time?
