Many great minds have contributed their thoughts on compassion and kindness to animals. These now famous quotes include:
Gandhi who once said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated….”
Charles Darwin stated, “The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man.”
And Albert Schweitzer remarked, “Until he extends the circle of compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.”
May is “Be Kind to Animals” Month. Extend kindness and compassion to an animal in need. Report cruelty whenever you see it or if you’re aware of its occurrence. It can make all the difference and can ultimately save lives. You can call the SPCA’s 24-hour hotline seven days a week at 1-866-601-SPCA to report cruelty. All calls are confidential. You can also email at cruelty@pspca.org.
