SO TRUE!! We all share this planet we live on….We all complement each other in our own little ways. So why do humans think we are superior? Because we can think and reason??? But look where that has taken us….Killing for fun, raping and other disgusting horrible deeds. We’re not superior, not in any way…We’re just too proud to see our downfall.

Compassion is most important for happiness. We must treat fellow human beings as equal, that is very important, but also all beings who have capacity for feeling. So the innate desire for happiness that is the basis of human rights extends to all sentient beings, including animals.
There are now some individuals and organizations who care about animal rights and are showing concern about the suffering or torture of animals. I have noticed among ordinary people, out of their love and compassion, growing efforts for promotion of vegetarianism. These are the right kinds of expression of compassion, very positive and encouraging signs — His Holiness the Dalai Lama
