Compiled DStretch images that show the rock art drawings in their entirety. From left to right, notice the two quadrupeds, the tall person, the supplicating person and the snakelike figure. The style of these images matches other Fremont culture rock-art paintings in the region.

The quadrup[eds are sheep.
The snakelike figure is the government.
The supplicating figure is the obsequious citizen that does whatever he is told.
The Tall Figure holding a printout of Hillary’s emails.
The snakelike figure is attempting to bite the tall figures azz.

It’s obvious that this is a depiction of the aftermath of an ancient person consuming spicy food. That is flame shooting out of his butt and all his animals are scattering. The animal on the right didn’t escape and was caught up in the conflagration.

I’d have to stick with the shamanic experience put on canvas crowd.
I’ve gone down that road and my guess is the humanized animals are the shaman joined with the animal spirit ally and the small attendant animals are other animal allies/helper spirits.
Kind of like “earth angels” in both a guardian angel and spiritual guide type context. If the shaman was about to do a great work or fight a spiritual battle he would call on and assume the form of his strongest or most appropriate ally, and other helpers he had walked, dreamed and danced with would continue to be his posse, but of lesser influence in his life at that point in time.
