There are benefits to treating animals with kindness. Of course fewer animals will suffer, but also, when we treat the world of animals with respect, there is proof we also treat people with kindness. If we engage in violence and abuse toward animals, then we are more likely to act the same toward humans and the planet. We can change the world in a positive way if we begin with animals; care for them and show compassion toward all animals. You see, it's a domino effect!  Kindness toward animals leads to solutions for all. More people begin to care about tragic issues such as climate, pollution, hunger, and war. Do you ever think about why God placed animals on earth? Could one big purpose be to teach us about respect and kindness?
