Impoverishment of the human spirit

.

"The indifference, callousness and contempt that so many people exhibit toward animals is evil first because it results in great suffering in animals, and second because it results in an incalculably great impoverishment of the human spirit".

Quote by anthropologist and humanist Ashley Montagu

From a principle I will not post a photo of a mistreated animal but instead

choose to focus on the amazing tenderness animals can bring out in humans.
