I've always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created.
I'm very touched on a deep level by cruelty to animals.
I have always felt that the way we treat animals is a pretty good indicator of the compassion we are capable of for the human race.
I can't remember when I wasn't an animal rights activist.
Cruelty to animals can become violence to humans.
