The human-animal bond is a sacred relationship that is intrinsically tied to the history of humanity and civilization. I believe that animal companionship is not a luxury, nor should it be treated as such. All humans - regardless of socioeconomic status, citizenship, race, gender, or sexuality - are deserving of the healing powers of animal companionship. This is why, upon the conclusion of the first series of in-person Quiet Collateral workshops, all extra supplies will be donated to local homeless shelters. Every person who has a pet should be supported to give their pet the best life possible, no matter what situation they are in.  Humans must return to community support systems - build the village you want to live in.
