About This Quote

The fact that animals can feel love and loyalty and gratitude is one of the most inspiring things about them. They are loyal to their families, loyal to their friends, and loyal like no human has ever been. Animals live in a world full of predators and starvation. They need to work together with others in order to survive.

Their entire society works together towards a common goal-to not die. There is also something inherently admirable about the fact that they believe that an animal's soul is present with them at all times.
