Having Respect For Animals Makes Us Better

I Had Been Told From School Onwards That The Best Definition Of A Human Being Was Man The Tool-maker - Yet I Had Just Watched A Chimp Tool-maker In Action. I Remember That Day As Vividly As If It Was Yesterday.

I Believe That The Tragedy [like Terror Attack] That's Caused So Much Grief And Suffering To So Many Thousands And Thousands Of People Has Also Served As A Call To Action, Because Many People Now Are Re-examining Their Own Value Systems, And The Churches, Temples, Mosques And Cathedrals Are Packed To Overflowing For The First Time In Years.

What You Do Makes A Difference, And You Have To Decide What Kind Of Difference You Want To Make.

It Made Me Feel Particularly Sickened To Know That This Kind Of Callous Attitude Toward Animals Is Repeated Again And Again In Laboratories Around This Country.

I Believe That We Have More Capability Than Any Other Creature To Control Our Biological Inheritance - And We Do So Most Of The Time.
