If you think that the animals' pain and sufferings are less than yours,,you are wrong..if you think that loyalty and faithfulness belong only to the human race, you are wrong.. Wolves and swans are among those who are  mated  for life ! Call it "instinct" ? You muat..remember that your copulation and breeding to populate the earth are "instincts" also !

 Remember that only a hundred years ago  the blacks were considered "less than human" with no souls and inability to feel pain..we have come a lil way towards reasonable considerations...but, not wholy..not until all sentinent  life is considered in a compassionate way !Those who did not think as we in religion or politics were thought to be different and therefore dangerous also, incapable of considerations!  We burned so called "witches" at the stake  when today we consider some psychic! If you cannot feel for others , at least ..Think- think- think..God created all LIFE  ..think- think- think !
