As we learn about the animal psyche, we can better understand our own humanity.
From rescuing rabbits and tortoises to studying PTSD in elephants in Africa, animals are in desperate need of our compassion to harness healthy relationships within their own communities and beyond. The fact is that every sentient being can undergo trauma and the lasting effects are devastating for them and for the continuation of inter-species understanding. It is within our power to limit their exposure to human-created violence and in turn heal the long-standing karma between the hunter and the hunted.
