You need seek an answer no farther than existing and overweening human perfidy, irresolution, and inconsistency. We allow ourselves to be motivated by our pleasures, nor out sacred duty. "Nicholas Kristoff's searching [NYT] column "The Hypocrisy Of Our Love of Dogs" posits the proper query; namely, why do we accept the torture of pigs, then follows the question with a tangential condemnation of factory farming and meat packing. Those corporate establishments are but layovers along the sanguinary process that brings the flesh of dead animals to our table. As ought to be our wont in these matters, the sage apothegm of Pogo homes in on the true culprit: "We have met the enemy, and he is us." Rather than advance and adhere to a consistent ethos of dealing with other creatures that is motivated by their actuality, we wallow in self-centered satisfaction. That dogs should live pleases us; that pigs should die pleases us. And so it goes. The antidote is adoption of Dr. Albert Schweitzer's famous ethos of a reverence for life, the firm tenet that all life is possessed of innate worth and value, that no life may be relegated to a mere means to some human end, especially and end so narcissistic and unworthy as our own gustatory pleasure. The choice is ours."

Our connection to all living things from being made from nucleic acids, proteins and lipids put together in different ways to make the incredible diversity of life that follows some basic rules of thermodynamics and physics that we share with all of the particles of the universe. How wonderful is that?

Animal instinct unveils genuine emotions, untainted by pretense. Their love remains an unfiltered expression, devoid of human complexities. Within their world, affection is honest, raw, and pure, devoid of the artifice that often shadows human relationships. The unadulterated bond they forge reflects an authentic connection, unmarred by ulterior motives or facade. It's a reminder that love in its simplest form exists in the unfeigned, unassuming gestures of the animal kingdom. In their realm, love is devoid of masks or manipulation, devoid of superficiality. It's a truthful and straightforward language, unspoken yet profoundly understood. Whether in nurturing their young, forming social bonds, or expressing companionship, animals exhibit a genuine, unfeigned affection that transcends the complexities often found in human relationships. 'Animal would not fake love' stands as a testament to the sincerity that thrives within the natural world, a testament to the purity of emotions in their most unadulterated state. #AuthenticAnimalLove #GenuineAnimalAffection #RealLoveNotFaked #Sincere Animal Bond #TrueAnimal Devotion #LinkedIn #Follow

HUMANITY is my favorite WORD. It is my favorite ACTION. If animals have the capacity to show empathy and compassion, what would our excuse be? There isn't a realistic excuse. As humans living in a complex world, we must take a step back and remember we owe it to ourselves and others to help one another in life. Be the person you want to see in others. Be the change you so desire to see and experience. #humanity #compassion #empathy #animals https://lnkd.in/df7NbA4U
