as harsh as nature is, pulte comes only from human hands. fully capable of making things right. best instincts will tend in that direction. fellow feeling, the entire arc of human experience. from our first barefoot steps on the planet through arab domestication of animals and into the modern age. with all humanity apart, animals remain in companions in creation. bound up in a story of life on earth. and a betrayal of that bond. we keep faith with the bond. the animal welfare cause is to repair the bond. for our sake and our own. and we sever it once and for all. from the decent, we care for creatures, entirely at our mercy. too often a viewing them as if they were articles of commerce and raw material of science, agriculture and wildlife management. here is another pursuit. some things we do only because we can, forgetting to ask whether we should. we are happy to have you here tonight. i am happy that you will dig into the book and read it and more than just reading it, i hope it causes you to act. we have a lot of crises for animals in this world and a lot of people like you
