Dr. Martin Luther King inspired many to spread peace an unity among all. He asked us to see beyond color and see the person. Today, I ask you to see beyond species and see living creatures. Many of us are raised to believe that animals are not significant because they are not as "evolved" as humans. (I beg to differ.) Some view animals as subservient to the human race; here to simply protect us from intruders or supply us with food. Despite our beliefs, we can't ignore that like us, animals are living, breathing creatures.
Animals feel pain like we do. They are cold in freezing temperatures and suffer from extreme heat. They can die from neglect. Animals can't tell us when they are suffering. They depend on us to take care of and defend them. We must be their voice and army. We must educate and inform those who don't know better. If education doesn't improve animal welfare, we take action and rescue.
Developing friendships and partnerships with local animal welfare organizations is necessary to rescue animals. Friendship develops into trust and partnerships. It also gives us an open platform for communication. Imagine having a partnership with every animal welfare organization in your town. It's an army ready to take action.
So, we need to put our differences and opinions aside and remember why we care. We see animals for what they are - living creatures who deserve humane treatment. By working together we will create a humane world for animals. Abuse and cruelty won't be tolerated and humanity will be required. Let's honor Dr. King by being compassionate towards ALL living creatures.
