I was touched by your video. For a long time now I feel that the differences between humans and animals are not as great as we were led to believe. I still eat meat from time to time, but I'm quite sure that if I had to kill the animal I want to eat, I wouldn't be able to do it, looking at them begging for their lives... So we had only hens, and the deal was that they provide eggs as long as they were able to, and then they got pension until they die of a natural death. Doing this for about 15 years, I learned a lot about hens, it was really very interesting! Thank you for that video, it resonated profoundly with me...

Very happy that you connected with the video, I relate to your experience about the differences - for each year I feel that animals seem less and less different from me, and I recognize more of the intricate beings they really are. I think this has to do with more of the conditioning falling away - - realizing all that I was thought while growing up wans't really true, for me at least.

Yes, it seems that very few people have a real understanding for animals. Perhaps that is linked to the fact that when you are at ease in your human society, you don't have much time left to observe them properly and over time; it's only when you don't really fit in that you turn yourself to animals; they are often much kinder and welcoming and their love, when they give it, is always true and unwaving, they never take it back. They may not speak a language like we do, but they do communicate their needs quite clearly, I think. And they are able to learn a lot, just like we do.
