1000 Flowers for the Planet - #90 Respect Animals
Animals have not evolved on this planet
simply for the pleasure of mankind. Each and every one of them is here as part
of the BIG picture, the picture that is far greater than you or I. They deserve
our respect, and that can be displayed in many different ways.
If you are a pet owner, be a responsible pet
owner. Allow your pet to be the animal that it is and remember that it is not a human. It does not deserve to be
dressed in clothes like a doll or carried around in a handbag as an accessory,
or simply carried around all day like a baby that can’t walk.
Farm animals deserve the respect of a
healthy environment and a good life where they are given appropriate space and
cared for as living, breathing creatures, and not seen as ‘product’. Then they
deserve a quick and humane death before butchering.
Wild animals deserve respect in the form of
maintaining natural habitats, banning hunting other than for food, being free
from traps and other human hazards, and not treating them as objects for
private display and entertainment.
The planet needs all living creatures to
live in freedom in their natural environments, and we need to learn how to
respect that.
