they are kept chained or tethered or are confined to
cages barely larger thr own bodies. When they
become ill, they rarely receive proper veterinary care

8. Building A Compassionate
World
When we give animals the same value as a living creature
as human.
we should learn to live harmoniously with animals. The
land that we live on is not exclusively given to only human
beings. We are sharing the land with animals. They have
their own territory and their colony. Yet we always destroy
their shelters, even kill them very ruthlessly.
a variety of animal species should be preserved for
educational purpose. A great number of animals die each
year. If this phenomenon continues, only few animals will
be left in a few decades.
