Humans could use some animal traits



In reference to the letter about helping humans before animals, I have owned 
and loved four cats and two dogs in my life. To me they were family members. 
They gave me unconditional love. These animals were faithful to me because I 
treated them right.


Humans often pretend to be our friends to gain social status, financial 
help, job advancement or maybe just to go for a swim in your pool. Animals 
don't judge you on your attractiveness, finances, popularity, athletic 
ability, etc. They judge you on how you treat them.


I'll support animals financially as long as I'm able to do that.

If Veganism has a prime value, it is simply that life-respecting compassion 
overrides individual issues of custom, convenience, comfort or cuisine.
