Animals are sentient, intelligent, perceptive, funny and entertaining. We owe them a duty of care as we do to children.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every animal has his or her story, his or her thoughts, daydreams, and interests. All feel joy and love, pain and fear, as we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt. All deserve that the human animal afford them the respect of being cared for with great consideration for those interests or left in peace.
At any rate, we can see that they are given into our care, that we cannot just do whatever we want with them. Animals, too, are God's creatures.
Animals mean everything to me. We have to be their voice and protectors.
We consider all our animals to be our kids.
I wish people would realize that animals are totally dependent on us, helpless, like children, a trust that is put upon us.
Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.
I think we have a real obligation when we do have animals in captivity to understand their needs and to care for them as well as we can.
I'm always pushing for human responsibility. Given that chimpanzees and many other animals are sentient and sapient, then we should treat them with respect.
We're one of the only animals in the world that don't really think of ourselves as animals, but we are animals, and we must respect our fellow animals.
My animals are a really important part of my life.
