Instead of reducing our intelligence and compassion by denying and destroying the intelligence and purpose of animals, we could celebrate, honor, and appreciate the immense diversity of intelligences, beauties, abilities, and gifts that animals possess and contribute to our world.

We could liberate ourselves by liberating them and allowing them to fulfill the purposes that their particular intelligences yearn for. We could respect their lives and treat them with kindness.

Our awareness and compassion would flourish, bringing more love and wisdom into our relationships with each other.

We could live in far greater harmony with the universal intelligence that is the source of our life.

To do so, however, we would have to stop viewing animals as commodities, and this means we would have to stop viewing them as food.

May all beings be free and at peace,  Will
