Moral Vision Statement

I believe that we need to treat non-human animals in more humane ways.  Animals should be viewed as amazing creatures and beings that share this world with us.  Too many people think that humans run the world, and it is only about us.  I don’t believe this at all.  People need to start respecting animals, and realizing that they are sentient beings with emotions and feelings just like us.  Animals can sense things that we can’t, and can even sometimes feel things that we can’t as well.  It does seem very unfair that certain animals are used for food or other products, but realistically there is no way to turn everyone in the world into a vegan.  There will always be animals that are hunted and put on farms for human consumption.  I think it’s important to treat them with respect, because after all they are giving the ultimate sacrifice for us, even though it’s against their will.  We also need to stop destroying these habitats that are crucial for certain animal’s survival and we need to stop hunting animals to the brink of extinction.  Don’t these people realize that once an animal is gone, it’s really gone?  Animals are a very important part of human life, and most people enjoy a special bond with their animals as well.  People need to treat every animal as if it were their pet at home.  Each animal needs to be seen as special, and I think after this becomes a universal agreement, we can live in harmony with humans and animals side by side.
