I've never seen the play, nor read the book. All I know about it is that it is an explanation of why the Wicked Witch in Wizard of the Oz is the way she is. Or something like that.

So if it was a reference, it was unintentional. Just wanted to set the record straight.

in Wicked, there are two types of animals (The primary one in the book is Dr. Dillamond who is a Goat, but let's use bears as an example) there are:
bears (lowercase) - these are bears who are just 'dumb' animals.
and
Bears (Uppercase) = these are intelligent Bears who can talk and reason with other humans/witches/beings etc.

It is a terrible thing to kill an Animal as opposed to an animal. Let alone eat one... (not that you'd eat a lowercase bear...)
