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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My mother early on taught us to respect all animals, and I mean all animals - not just cats and dogs but rats and snakes and spiders and fish and wildlife, so I really grew up believing they are just like us and just as deserving of consideration.
I just want to reflect the respect I have for animals.
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.
We're all animals.
Animals mean everything to me. We have to be their voice and protectors.
We're animals. We're born like every other mammal and we live our whole lives around disguised animal thoughts.
Animals are sentient, intelligent, perceptive, funny and entertaining. We owe them a duty of care as we do to children.
The thing about animals is that they don't judge you. They accept you the way you are.
As all human beings are, in my view, creatures of God's design, we must respect all other human beings. That does not mean I have to agree with their choices or agree with their opinions, but indeed I respect them as human beings.
I don't think that we really know our animals. We think we do because we're humans, and we think we can control things like that. We don't know anybody that we love. It could be a girlfriend or a cat. I think we just have to be at peace with that.
