At least, our experience
of the animals with whom we live is that they exhibit behaviors
similar to many
of our own; that those behaviors clearly seem to be
signs of emotional and mental qualities familiar to us from our own knowledge
of ourselves; that animals possess distinctive individual traits, characteristics that are irreducibly personal (even if we feel obliged to recoil from that word on metaphysical principle), their own peculiar affections and aversions, expectations and fears; that many beasts command certain rational skills; and that all
of this makes some
kind of natural appeal to our moral sense.

There is no doubt that Bale needs to get the hell out
of Real if he ever wants to be the
kind of player he once was... this isn't to suggest that he his skills have diminished, he simply isn't the fiery, determined and aggressive player that struck fear in the hearts
of his opponents... the small fish in a big pond just doesn't fit his profile... I can't even remember the last player I've seen who has become so invisible on the big stage (maybe Pogba last year)... maybe it's a case
of culture shock or maybe he wasn't able to handle the notoriety that invariably came with his big money
signing, but regardless
of how it happened this guy is a shadow
of his former self... although I doubt he would ever come to a team in such disarray, he could quite easily fill the shoes
of Sanchez, who ironically was in a
similar predicament in Barcelona, as Bale would return to his favoured left side and would be given the same freedoms that have allowed Sanchez to flourish... ultimately I think the cache
of wearing a Real jersey and competing for the top trophies would be too difficult to give up for a wannabe club run by suits who care little about those
kinds of accolades
