Make the connection

No animal can stand and speak and express themselves, they can't say "please stop, leave me alone, I want my baby, I want my mother, please let me go" etc. If they could speak, there would be a cry from every part of the earth from every creature hunted or forced to produce for mankind's taste or habit, or for their vanity (wearing fur or leather) or for their enjoyment (circus, zoo). It's okay because "they're not us", no one cares because it doesn't happen to them but, as appalling as slavery is to humanity, as disgusted as many are by genocide, killing in war, all the barbaric acts we commit unto ourselves we are only appalled during a video on YouTube and shortly, people go right ahead and have a steak or pork chops or chicken wings. Our indifference towards fellow creatures is pretty telling about our "superiority complex" over anything weaker than us... Because we can out-think it, because we can catch it does it mean that we should kill it, enslave it, skin it? No, we have a moral obligation to not only them, but to those starving around the world. Make the connection.

Funny I have no desire to commit violence towards or take a bite out of anyone in this video . I only feel a desire to nurture . I assume most humans would not look at these beautiful animals and feel hunger . Why doesn't that tell us something ?

Haunting. Don't know what's better-- your video with such powerful images combined with the beautiful music, or your to-the-point caption. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this.

Not me. I don't do anything to anyone I wouldn't want done to myself. It's that simple. And that easy. Thank you for getting that.
