Begins today!
What sorts of animals should we be kind to?
- old ones
- young ones
- cute ones
- not-so-cute ones
- sick ones
- healthy ones
- big ones
- small ones
- companion animals
- farmed animals
- land animals
- aquatic animals
- all animals, actually
- including, ahem, human ones
What does being kind not include?
- eating them
- breeding them
- experimenting on them
- turning them into clothes
- stealing their young
- stealing their milk
- withholding care and respect
- confining
- mutilating
- killing
- or using them in any other way for human gain
What are the best ways to be kind?
- rescuing them
- treating them as beings rather than things
- seeing them as kin -- the word kind is very useful for this
- unless already living with you (or in need of help), leaving them alone
So please be kind to animals this week, next week, and every week. Thank you!
