Lasting Change Is A Series Of Compromises.

I Believe Sharing Stories And Experiences Is The Best Way To Teach People To Empathize!

If You Look Into Their [chimpanzees] Eyes, You Know You're Looking Into A Thinking Mind. They Teach Us That We Are Not The Only Beings With Personalities, Minds Capable Of Rational Thought, Altruism And A Sense Of Humor. That Leads To New Respect For Other Animals, Respect For The Environment And Respect For All Life.

Each One Of Us Matters, Has A Role To Play, And Makes A Difference. Each One Of Us Must Take Responsibility For Our Own Lives, And Above All, Show Respect And Love For Living Things Around Us, Especially Each Other.

There Are Many People Out There (me Being One Of Them) Who Can Vouch That Animals Have Feelings; They Feel Compassion And Love, As Well As Pain!

It's Not That Humans And Non-humans Are Identical... But The Lack Of Understanding That Led To The Slave Trade Is The Same Lack Of Understanding Many People Have About Animals Today. When Slaves Were Brought Over From Africa, Many People Believed They Were Not Humans, That They Didn't Have Feelings. Many People Believe That Primates And Other Animals Don't Have Feelings, Too, But They Do.
