I adore animals. I love being around them, but I cannot justify breeding them and keeping them dependent on us just so we can love them.
There are so many animals in this world, and so many need a home.
Let's create animal sanctuaries.
Let's end animal mortuaries, and the excess of beings that we can not possibly take care of.
Balance can be restored.
And maybe with that balance, our love of the natural world can expand, and our love for animals
can be shared with wildlife.
Today, we end up killing wildlife so we can maintain caged life -- that was once wildlife but is no longer due to our manipulation of their evolution.
It doesn't seem right to me.
Can we love animals, as they are, as they were born to be?
