Scientists are now asking very interesting questions about animal emotions, animal minds and cognition, animal communication, even animal virtue.

Do animals have similar feelings of love, happiness and sadness as humans? Are there animals who possess superior memories than humans? How do some animals seem able to predict natural phenomena before they occur? Halo, kind viewers.

Let’s discover the answers to these questions and more on Animal World: Our Co-Inhabitants as we explore the intriguing inner world of animals. International #1 bestselling author of the books, “The Birds in My Life,” “The Dogs in My Life” and “The Noble Wilds,” Supreme Master Ching Hai has often spoken about the highly sentient and noble beings we call animals.

Animals are extremely intelligent. Intelligent. There is no doubt, and we know that, too. Even pigs, house pets, they are known for their quality of faithfulness, loyalties, friendliness, and helpfulness in time of trouble. In your newspapers, printed everyday some miracles done by animals.

Like dogs rescue children from burning house, pig runs many miles to rescue his owner. Horses stay with the tomb of his master until his death. He never eats anything. Or some dog never leaves the tomb of his master, etc., etc. So many, many things. So it is not funny that the humans sometimes think animals are better than us, yes?

It could be, in some aspects, it could be true. After all, all beings are created by God anyhow, so why not they have the God spark inside them like we do? It’s just because they are in a different form and they use different languages doesn't mean they are in any way less worthy than us.

Through further studies and observations, humans are gaining a greater understanding of the sophisticated social systems, depth of cognition and dignified principles of the furry, finned and feathered residents of this planet. Our 3-part series features Dr. Jonathan Balcombe, a leading behavioral research scientist and author of “The Use of Animals in Higher Education: Problems, Alternatives and Recommendations,” “Pleasurable Kingdom: Animals and the Nature of Feeling Good” and “Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals.”

A new book by Dr. Balcombe will be released in May titled, “The Exultant Ark – A Pictorial Tour of Animal Pleasure.” As a respected speaker, Dr. Balcombe has travelled around the globe, giving presentations and raising awareness about the values, psychology, intelligence and emotions of our animal friends.

He has written numerous scientific papers and articles published in prestigious academic journals and magazines such as the “Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science,” “British Medical Journal,” “Journal of Consciousness Studies,” “Animal Behavior,” “Canadian Field-Naturalist” and many others.

Dr. Balcombe has said, “As science continues to make new discoveries about animal minds and feelings, I hope it strikes a chord for more considerate, ethical treatment of animals.”

In my opinion, the only difference between a human and an animal is same as the difference between a pig and a cow, or chicken and starling. They’re different species. So I think we need to recognize and celebrate the diversity of life and recognize that all species have their own values.

While growing up, Dr. Balcombe had always found himself being fascinated by animals. But it was during a biology class at York University in Toronto, Canada, that he determined his life's purpose.

We had crossbred fruit flies, drosophila melanogaster, bearing different phenotypes. And it was time to record the distribution of characteristics in the next generation. Counting the number of flies with white versus red eyes required exposing them to ether to immobilize them.

The flies were then sprinkled onto a sheet of white paper to be examined and counted. When the data collection was complete, the flies had no further use to genetics. And our instructions were to tip them into a small glass dish of oil placed at the center of each desk. The "morgue" as it was called was to be diminutive drosophila's final resting place. Well, rocking the boat never came easily to me, but I was having none of this.

Once my little pile of dipterans had been counted, I pushed them off the edge of the paper where they were camouflaged against the black desktop. As we recorded our data, I kept one eye on them. The ember of life soon rekindled and within minutes the pile was twitching and humming as tiny legs and wings beat their way out of the ether fog. They staggered onto their spindly legs before regaining their senses and launching forth.

I was thrilled as they took flight. The flies were my first step in refusing to conduct scientific research that treated non-human life as dispensable. They also charted a path for the values I want to bring to the study of animals. As I became more aware of institutionalized abuses of animals, I identified a niche for my future: animal protection.

During his many years of research, Dr. Balcombe came across numerous scientific studies indicating that animals have a high level of intelligence, sometimes even exceeding that of a human being.

Chimpanzees have been shown to have far better spatial memory, certainly short term, and perhaps long term. You can watch these on these videos on YouTube these days. Chimpanzees, young chimpanzees shown a monitor, these have learned to interact with computer monitors.

And if the numbers 1 to 9 are scattered randomly and they appear on that screen for 1 second or less, the chimpanzee casually points to each rectangle in the correct sequence, 1 through 9, and gets a little treat. That’s the motivation, has a little treat. Humans, with about 1 second to see the array of numbers, we might get to 3 or 4 if we are having a good day.

In fact, one chimpanzee named Ayumu, if he has one fifth of a second, so it’s about that long, to see the nine numbers, he remembers them all, 90% of the time. So these animals have an incredible spatial intelligence that is far beyond our own. So we can’t even claim to be at the pinnacle of all forms of intelligence as we often do.

An article printed in The Washington Post titled, “It’s Music to These Monkeys’ Ears – And Also Their Hearts” written by Rob Stein, showed the enlightening results of a study in which scientists created “animal” music for tamarin monkeys to observe their reactions rather than testing how they are affected by human music, which in previous studies did not provide conclusive results.

True enough, soothing music was observed to have a calming effect while harsh music seemed to make the monkeys more restless, similarly to how humans are stimulated by different types of songs. This opens the door to re-examining other misconceptions humans have of the innate intelligence of animals.

For a long time, we thought chimpanzees had very poor face recognition skills, until someone had the bright idea to actually test them on chimpanzee faces instead of human faces. Once chimps were tested on chimpanzee faces, they did very, very well, about as well as we do. And what’s more, they do better than us on upside-down faces. And if you think about chimpanzees hanging around in trees, you might guess why they are better at that than we are. Sheep are also very good at face recognition.

A sheep who has been removed from her own flock and put in another flock for two years. Two years later, being shown a series of 80, 90, 100 still photos of sheep, some of whom were from her original flock, and some from alien sheep she doesn’t know. She can recognize up to 50 or so of her original flock mates, 2 years later from a single face on photograph or a profile photograph.

Also, sheep will almost routinely, will almost never go through a door with a photograph of a very hungry sheep, if there is the other option of going through a door with a photograph of a just fed sheep. They look similar to us, but they can see the sheep is more relaxed and more happy, and they would rather go through that door. And sheep much prefer a smiling human face to a frowning, angry looking one.

In his book, “Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals,” Dr. Balcombe writes: “Recent research has detected elephants using a special acoustic technique to track others. Their feet are beautifully adapted for communication and listening infrasonically, that is, at frequencies below human hearing.

Preliminary studies reveal a high density of pressure-sensitive nerve endings at the front of the footpad and around the edges. This enables them to remain in contact with each other for weeks at a time, even though they may be separated by miles of savannah.

It may act as an early warning system for earthquakes, explaining why elephants and virtually all large animals had already moved to higher ground when rising water from the giant tsunami pounded Asian coastlines on Dec. 26, 2004.” Dr. Balcombe explains how this acoustic skill gives elephants a unique spatial awareness of where others in the herd are located.

They live in matriarchal groups and they often move from point A to B several miles away. They’re going to go to a tree that’s fruiting and they have good memories for that too. So, if the scientists dig up fresh urine from some elephants who are walking further ahead, a quarter of a mile ahead and then quickly dump it down again, the elephants walking behind, on encountering that urine, will sniff it and check it out and then move on.

But if they take urine from elephants who are walking somewhere behind and quickly start and bring it up in front of these walking elephants and deposit it, the elephants react differently. They show much more surprise. They twist their trunks more, they described it in the scientific paper. It doesn’t fit expectations to find fresh urine, fresh pee from someone who you know is behind you. So, it’s a way of illustrating these animals have a mental map. They’re aware of who is who, and who is where.

And it is actually estimated based on this and other studies, that an elephant is keeping mental tabs on around 30 other individual elephants at any one time. So, there’s a lot of awareness in these animals’ minds. And should we be surprised? This is a big animal, huge brain, very long lived, emotional, very good memory.

With mounting scientific evidence indicating that animals are highly intelligent, deeply emotional, and complex sentient beings, Dr. Balcombe believes that we must look at and treat our fellow beings with respect and dignity.

The animal has life worth living, and that stems from sentience, from the capacity to feel things, pleasures and pains. We understand those feeling for our own lives. Well, they have those feelings as well and it is because of sentience that they have lives that are worth living.

It was a pleasure having your company today for Animal World: Our Co-Inhabitants. Join us again Friday and Saturday for part 2 and part 3 of our program, “Exploring the Intriguing Inner Lives of Animals with Dr. Jonathan Balcombe.” Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television for Enlightening Entertainment, coming up next right after Noteworthy News. May you live in Heaven’s grace with compassion and wisdom.

They are thinking and feeling beings, like we are. They have good days and bad days. They have senses. They are sentient. And so we need a new way of thinking about animals.

Halo, gentle viewers and welcome to Animal World: Our Co-Inhabitants, where we are exploring the intriguing inner world of animals.

Through further studies and observations, humans are gaining a greater understanding of the sophisticated social systems, depth of cognition and dignified principles of the furry, finned and feathered residents of this planet.

International #1 bestselling author of the books, “The Birds in My Life,” “The Dogs in My Life” and “The Noble Wilds,” Supreme Master Ching Hai has often spoken about the highly sentient and noble beings we call animals.

The animals come to this planet with a special role. Many of them are able to bring down divine power from Heaven, or love, just through their presence because they are very connected with the Divine at all times. Some, like horses and rabbits, can protect their human caregivers from negative influences, or boost them with good health, good luck, even material fortune, joy, or spiritual upliftment. They watch out for us quietly and humbly send blessings our way. Some of them are from higher levels of consciousness; they only came down in animal form to help humankind or other beings on Earth.

Our 3-part series features Dr. Jonathan Balcombe, a leading behavioral research scientist and author of “The Use of Animals in Higher Education: Problems, Alternatives and Recommendations,” “Pleasurable Kingdom: Animals and the Nature of Feeling Good” and “Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals.”

A new book by Dr. Balcombe will be released in May titled, “The Exultant Ark – A Pictorial Tour of Animal Pleasure.” As a respected speaker, Dr. Balcombe has travelled around the globe, giving presentations and raising awareness about the values, psychology, intelligence and emotions of our animal friends.

He has written numerous scientific papers and articles published in prestigious academic journals and magazines such as the “Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science,” “British Medical Journal,” “Journal of Consciousness Studies,” “Animal Behavior,” “Canadian Field-Naturalist” and many others.

Dr. Balcombe has said, “As science continues to make new discoveries about animal minds and feelings, I hope it strikes a chord for more considerate, ethical treatment of animals.” In an article titled, “Jonathan Balcombe: ‘Stop being beastly to hens’” by James Randerson in April 2010 for the United Kingdom’s newspaper, “Guardian,” the question on whether animals have any kind of moral responsibility was posed to Dr. Balcombe.

He answered, “Absolutely. One of the frontiers of science is the study of virtue in animals: increasingly it's coming to light that animals have a moral awareness, or a moral consideration about how they behave. This is particularly the case with social animals, who've evolved to live in groups. Living in groups is full of compromise, you give and take and you want to sustain good relationships with others or you may be an outcast, and that's not in your self-interest – so one can make genetic arguments for the evolution of virtue and moral behavior – certainly we manifest it in many ways.”

New scientific studies show that animals have noble qualities. If you think about the importance of being nice when you live in a group, you will appreciate that other animals need to be nice to each other, because many animals live in groups. They live in populations. They have communities. They have societies. It behooves you to be polite, to be respectful, to be restrained, to be nice, and to be good. And animals show that. Animals show consideration for each other.

Studies show that rats, for instance, will spontaneously, without any reward, without anyone telling them to, if they see another rat in distress, they will act to bring them out of that distress. If they are in a harness, they will help to remove them. If they are locked out of somewhere, they will try to open the door so they can get through.

Chimpanzees and monkeys also, if they work together to get something, they will share food. If you put them in cages, which is very sad, they will pass food through the cage walls to each other, to make sure the other one gets enough food as well. It is virtuous behavior.

Increasingly, research shows that humans are not the only species who are guided by a moral compass. Scientists have observed a rat refusing to push a lever which will release his food when he knows that a fellow rat will also receive an electric shock; elephants helping an antelope to escape an enclosure; a monkey helping another one that hasn’t yet learned that a token must be inserted into a slot for her to receive her food. There are also accounts of dolphins and whales coming to the aid of humans stranded at sea. Birds and fish also exhibit altruistic behavior.

There is over three hundred species of birds help at the nest, where individuals who are not going to raise any of their own young will help other parents raise their young. Usually they're relatives, but not always. There are cichlid fish in Africa who do the same thing, not even related to the parent fish. They help them raise their young.

We also have examples of midwifery, wet nursing, nannying, and babysitting in nature among various species. We even have a new term in biology based on the behavior of Seychelles warblers, which have been shown that grandparents will help their offspring's young. So they're helping two generations down. So we have a new term in biology: “grand chicks.”

Professor Marc Bekoff, an ecologist at the University of Colorado in Boulder Colorado, USA, stated in the article, “Animals Can Tell Right from Wrong”: “The belief that humans have morality and animals don’t is a long-standing assumption, but there is a growing amount of evidence that is showing us that this simply cannot be the case. Just as in humans, the moral nuances of a particular culture or group will be different from another, but they are certainly there.” As such, the principles of fairness and equality are also appreciated in the animal kingdom.

New studies are showing that animals have a sense of fairness. Two dogs who are asked to shake a paw with a human will happily shake a paw. But if you start giving food, giving a treat to this one dog, for shaking the paw but not to the other one, the one who’s not getting the treat will soon stop and look away, essentially showing, “I don’t appreciate the unfair treatment.” So they are aware of some sort of unfairness here, which is something we certainly understand.

Similarly with monkeys, if both monkeys are getting cucumbers, and they like to eat cucumbers, they happily will take them. But if you suddenly switch to grapes with this monkey, they really like grapes, even better than cucumbers, this monkey will no longer accept cucumber. He will hand it back or throw it away and hold his hands out, looking at the other monkey, you know, “Why am I not getting grapes? I am doing the same thing.” So these are clever biology studies that show that animals also have a sense of fairness. They appreciate being treated respectfully and fairly and equally to others, just as we do.

Dr. Frans de Waal, a primatologist from the US-based Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center at Emory University, did a long term study on a monkey named Mozu which revealed virtuous behavior in animals.

Mozu was a Japanese macaques, a monkey similar to these animals on the cover of my book. And Mozu was born with a very, very severe physical disability. She had no hands, and she had no feet. And you think of a monkey, pretty much any animal, but certainly a monkey, no hands, no feet, no climbing, no grasping of food.

This animal is not going to live very long. Mozu actually lived a long life, and raised 5 young, which is more than most females will do in macaques society. She couldn't have done it by herself. She relied and benefited from the goodness of others who helped her, fed her, did favors to her. Virtuous behavior.

Animals are often thought of as purely instinctual creatures whose only focus is on their survival. However, this misconception is being dispelled more and more through the numerous studies of animal behavior which show animals acting out of charity and kindness.

Let me just give you one story about chickens that I think is pretty intriguing and revealing. One of the calls that chickens make, it’s made only by roosters. It is called a food solicitation call or a come hither call, and it’s intended for a hen. And it’s been shown roosters will never make this call if there is no hen in sight. It’s for their benefit.

And hens are very tuned in to these calls. If the hen is nearby, she hears this call, she comes running. And the rooster typically only makes this call when he has found some morsel of food. So, the hen comes running and the rooster very gallantly sort of points it out and steps back. And often the hen will find it and she’ll eat it.

Given that scientific evidence prove animals to be as noble and sentient as humans, how can we best show our reverence for the lives of our fellow beings?

One of the reasons I admire Supreme Master Ching Hai, is that her message is that we need a new relationship with animals as well. We need to stop eating them, putting them in our mouths, we need to respect them and love them, and celebrate that they are also part of this rich planet that we live in.

Going vegan or having a plant-based diet is the most profound and immediate way that an individual can do right by animals. You stop eating them, you immediately remove yourself from that whole factory farming, transport, slaughterhouse thing that we do. If you stop eating eggs and milk, well, you’re no longer supporting calves being removed from their mothers as soon as they’re born.

Anne Frank said, "Isn’t it wonderful that we needn’t wait another moment before changing the world for the better?" I love that sentiment, because becoming vegetarian or vegan is an immediate way that you can save animals’ lives, every day, every week of the year.

Thank you for joining us today for Animal World: Our Co-Inhabitants. Join us again Saturday for the conclusion of our program, “Exploring the Intriguing Inner Lives of Animals with Dr. Jonathan Balcombe.” Up next is Enlightening Entertainment, right after Noteworthy News here on Supreme Master Television. May your life be filled with wonder, respect and gratitude for all God’s creations.

Animals enjoy their food, they enjoy their social company. They have leisure time, they can relax. Their lives are rich and their lives are worth living. And that needs to affect the way we interact with them.

Halo, caring viewers and welcome to Animal World: Our Co-Inhabitants. Today we continue with the concluding episode of our 3-part series, “Exploring the Intriguing Inner Lives of Animals with Dr. Jonathan Balcombe.”

Dr. Jonathan Balcombe is a leading behavioral research scientist and author of “The Use of Animals in Higher Education: Problems, Alternatives and Recommendations,” “Pleasurable Kingdom: Animals and the Nature of Feeling Good” and “Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals.” A new book by Dr. Balcombe will be released in May titled, “The Exultant Ark – A Pictorial Tour of Animal Pleasure.”

As a respected speaker, Dr. Balcombe has travelled around the globe, giving presentations and raising awareness about the values, psychology, intelligence and emotions of our animal friends. He has written numerous scientific papers and articles published in prestigious academic journals and magazines such as the “Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science,” “British Medical Journal,” “Journal of Consciousness Studies,” “Animal Behavior,” “Canadian Field-Naturalist” and many others.

Dr. Balcombe has said, “As science continues to make new discoveries about animal minds and feelings, I hope it strikes a chord for more considerate, ethical treatment of animals.”

There’s a lot of really important things that humans need to understand and respect about animals, but the key one is this word, “sentience.” And sentience is the ability to feel things, to feel good things, to feel bad things, to feel pain, to feel pleasure. And so, my message about animals is that they have lives that matter to them. And so therefore we need to respect their lives. And the closer we look at animals, the more we study them, the more we realize just how complex they are.

During his research while in graduate school, Dr. Balcombe studied a large group of bats who lived together inside a small, dark cave. Through his observations, he noted how these animals have an amazingly intricate communication system.

I studied these flying mammals and how they communicate with each other, how they listen to other bats, and get information about where to find some food, and also how they recognize each other’s voices, as we can, to link up when they need to. A mother needs to find her baby, for instance, or the baby’s hungry, so the baby calls and the mother hears the baby, and they find each other that way.

In his book, “Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals,” Dr. Balcombe refers to many other studies on animal communication. Dr. Con Slobodchikoff, an ethologist and biology professor from Northern Arizona University in the United States, has studied prairie dogs for over 30 years and believes they may have the most sophisticated communication system than any other mammal.

Prairie dogs have over a 100 calls, with modifiers. And poignantly, they have a call for a man carrying a gun. So animals respond to our presence, and they respond in complex, flexible ways. We need to respect them more. We need to treat them better. We need to be aware that they want to live their lives too, like we do ours.

In addition to learning about communication skills, many researchers are discovering other aspects of animal intelligence. Dr. Balcombe describes a scientific study on scrub jays which revealed their remarkable long term memories.

Scrub jays are a relative of crows, a North American bird. And they have been shown to have what’s called episodic memory. That is, they can remember the what, the when, and the where of a past event. In this study, a scrub jay was given a pile of peanuts and they were allowed to bury them. By the way, this is a caching species. This is a species that buries food and comes back to it later.

The scrub jays were then given a much more perishable food, which they also buried. The birds were then kept away from the area for over a week. Upon their return, the scrub jays did not even bother trying to recover the perishable food, apparently realizing that it would already have spoiled. Instead they headed directly to the side where they had hidden the peanuts, which do not spoil as quickly.

So they remember what they buried, where they buried it, and how long ago it was, and how much time has elapsed. So it’s a pretty impressive cognitive feat.

Animals possess considerable innate wisdom and are able to pass along their knowledge and culture from one generation to the next.

There’s actually a term called zoopharmacognosy. And zoopharmacognosy is the specialized study of self-medication in animals. You know, animals live in their habitats, they know different plants, they know where to find certain fruiting trees at certain times of year. And they also learn through trial and error over the course of evolution and cultural evolution, they learn which plants can make them feel better. Chimpanzees use many different kinds of plants to self-medicate, and many other animals do this.

It was once thought that animals live only in the present and their actions were all based on an instinct to survive. However, scientific evidence shows that animals are capable of experiencing happiness and sorrow just as humans do.

Baboon mothers who lose an infant have been found to show a physiological and a behavioral response that mirrors those of humans, in particular, women who have lost an infant. We know that is a terrible loss. We grieve for long periods. That’s reflected in increased glucocorticoid hormones in our bloodstream. And we can measure that. It goes up for about a month, and it gradually subsides.

Time is our friend, when we are recovering from grief and bereavement. Well, a baboon mother who loses an infant shows the same sort of hormonal changes. It goes up for about a month and gradually subsides. And they also respond behaviorally by expanding their social networks. They engage in a lot more grooming with each other, receiving and giving grooming. It’s thought to be a form of therapy. And these are the terms the scientists used to describe it.

And it is, I think, analogous to the way we rally around socially when a loved one is ill or lost. We send flowers, we send cards, we bring soup over, we rally round morally. And by the way, the baboon mother is not the only one to show this response. These hormones also go up to a lesser degree, in their closest friends and associates in the baboon community.

These studies show that they can have moods and dispositions, emotional tenors that last for days or weeks or months, possibly years.

In his next book, “The Exultant Ark – A Pictorial Tour of Animal Pleasure,” Dr. Balcombe seeks to show that animals not only have emotions, but they experience pleasure and happiness. At times, birds fly for the pure pleasure of soaring through the skies; monkeys help groom each other because it feels good and elephants engage in play for the simple joy of it.

Animals also are pleasure seekers. They are not just pain avoiders. There are many ways that animals experience pleasure, through food, through touch, through their everyday communications.

If you live with dogs or cats, you know they feel pleasure. You rub their belly, they come running for it. Maybe not a scientific study, but it’s pretty clear that these animals like the touch, and they probably enjoy their food and other pleasures in their lives. Well, rats have been shown to love touch as well. In one study, two groups of rats. Rats who are expecting to be petted on the back will come to be petted by the hand.

But rats who are expecting to be flipped on their back and tickled on the belly, which rats do to each other when they’re young, and when they play fight, they will come running, scientists love to measure things, they will come running to the hand four times as quickly and they will utter about on average 7 times more ultrasonic chirps which are associated with positive effect in rats. So rats love a belly rub as much as cats do apparently.

As a vegan himself, Dr. Balcombe works for the dignified treatment of animals and strives to raise awareness about the sentient and intelligent nature of animals.

The way we treat animals right now when we raise them for food and it's not very ethical, given the capacities that animals have. The slave trade, civil rights, suffragist movement, those are largely now relegated to the history books. We've made huge strides in conquering those past wrongs based on “might makes right”.

Unfortunately, we're still in the dark ages with animals largely. We still legally define them as property, and we still, kill huge numbers. If you want to help animals, the best way one can do it as an individual is to stop eating them. I'm hopeful that we, humans, humankind, will look back on the 21st century as the century for the animals.

From his books, articles and seminars, Dr. Balcombe presents the scientific evidence that animals are living, emotional, cognizant beings, with the hopes that they will be treated compassionately as beings with equal rights to happiness and freedom.

So, part of my message, and part of Supreme Master Ching Hai’s message about animals, is that animals celebrate life, animals enjoy life, animals have positive experiences. They enjoy their days. They seek out good things.

Supreme Master Ching Hai, who has also spoken extensively about the intelligence and dignity of our animal co-inhabitants, is hopeful for a gentler world of kindness and compassion, wherein the divinity in all beings is recognized and respected.

They are living beings just like us. When you look into the eyes of animals, sometimes you will realize, “My God! We are equal. We are the same.” And that feeling will send shivers all over your body, and give you an enlightenment that you would never dream of having.

I told you that animals can also teach you, flowers and trees and everything. In the Bible, you remember? God said that, "I made animals to help you, as your helper, as your friend.” Remember? That's why we should never eat them, not mistreat them.

So, everything on this planet, including us, is inter-related and helping each other to make our lives here comfortable and livable.

Our heartfelt thanks, Dr. Jonathan Balcombe, for sharing your expertise on the profound, inner lives of our animal co-inhabitants. We wish you every success in all your noble endeavors as we unite towards a peaceful and vegan planet where all live in safety and happiness.
