Animals die a spiritual death before they are murdered. Their heart breaks, they are terrified beyond belief, and they are utterly saddened, shocked and disappointed in the humans that have failed to protect them for doing absolutely nothing wrong
It’s a sad world where harming the innocent and subjecting them to extreme disregard and cruelty is accepted and defended passionately and those who choose to live less violently are ridiculed and labeled ‘extreme’
It is important to avoid doing harm to sentient beings, helping them can be a source of great satisfaction. All of us, animals as well, have basic rights that we need to protect.
