Compassion

"And if we dare to look into those eyes, then we shall feel their suffering in our hearts.

More and more people have seen that appeal and felt it in their hearts.

All around the world there is an awakening of understanding and compassion, and understanding that reaches out to help the suffering animals in their vanishing homelands.

That embraces hungry, sick, and desperate human beings, people who are starving while the fortunate among us have so much more than we need.

And if, one by one, we help them, the hurting animals, the desperate humans, then together we shall alleviate so much of the hunger, fear, and pain in the world.

Together we can bring change to the world, gradually replacing fear and hatred with compassion and love. Love for all living beings."

- Jane Goodall
