The Animals
So what are we supposed to think or what does anyone here think the purpose of the animals are in this movie?
The deer and the flamingos approach the humans at various points and one of the kids suggests they know something and are trying to tell them. Considering the things happening are eventually somewhat indicated to be from foreign interference, it seems odd that the animals would be aware.
Also, the son's illness - should we think it is from the "secret weapon" they suggest or from the tick bite?
