For some of these people, animals are all they have left.

They are all beasts of burden in a sense, ' Thoreau once remarked of animals, 'made to carry some portion of our thoughts.' Animals are the old language of the imagination; one of the ten thousand tragedies of their disappearance would be a silencing of this speech.

People knew that animals were nocturnal but they didn't really know what they did because they couldn't see it.

People need to realize we're human beings too, not the animals they think we are.

This is a good thing for animals and a good thing for people, ... These animals are made to suffer horribly, humans are put at risk, and there has never been an excuse for this practice.

It also helps people learn to appreciate the animals more if they're involved in something like this.
