The intelligence and emotional depth of many animal species have long been underestimated—out of human arrogance and ethical convenience, as well as our own limited intelligence and emotional depth.
When I first moved to Vermont about 45 years ago, I was a bit nervous around cows, as I confessed to my mom. Her wise reply: "Think of them as sisters under the skin." How can anyone look into those beautiful, sentient and feeling eyes and think, "That looks delicious--I think I'll kill it"?
I’m a crazy animal lover, I possibly had as many as50 or so wonderful creatures ( counting sheep and chickens , especially when we kept the rooster and the ram etc.) etc.) in the back yard at one point in my hey day. What wonderful wise companions they are❤️❤️, Celina
I am sorry I have never experienced that variety, but all the animals I have know (with one exception, long story) have enriched my life . I remember very fondly the few times we went riding together. It was a pleasure and a thrill. Thank you.

i know, but STILL i am not a vegetarian. i do however try to get local meat where the animals had "a good life and one bad day."
These are wonderful. Our cruelty to fellow creatures will someday be seen for the barbarism it is.
Yes, you are so right.
Grew up with cows,pigs,and chickens. Lucky me!
Indeed!
