00:19Come close to an insect, an animal, a bird, spend time with them without bias and it will
00:26become very difficult for you to say that the animal is not a person. The fundamental mistake
00:32that most human beings make, we never actually get close to the conscious beings that we kill
00:40and exploit for food or convenience. So we do not even have the basic respect to refer to animals
00:47properly. We look at an elephant and say it is moving. Is the elephant a machine? Those who are
00:55violent towards other living forms are fundamentally violent towards themselves. If you are decent to
01:04the other, then it is yourself you are helping.
