Well, the thing that I learned as a diplomat is that human relations ultimately make a huge difference.

Rehearsals make a huge difference.

Even the smallest gesture can make a huge difference.

Being on one crutch to no crutches is a huge difference.

There is no doubt that there is a huge difference between human and nonhuman animals. But what we are overlooking is the fact that nonhuman animals are conscious beings, that they can suffer.

This has made a huge difference, but it hasn't spoilt anything.
