Loving all animals is a big part of who I've always been. A county fair visit at age nine with my best friend and her family resulted in the horrifying realization that "meat" on my plate was in reality the animals I loved. I became a vegan and animal rights advocate. I also operate a free relocation service for wasps, spiders, and scorpions :) Animals are sentient beings - capable of great joy and great suffering.

That’s heart-warming! And a really impressive response from a kid, especially since at that age it’s not like you get to do the grocery shopping/meal planning. I guess your parents were supportive? Good on them!

This art and consciousness coming to together . We all share consciousness, all living beings and animals have organic chemistry and energy. Love the sting rays 🙏🏽

one of my cats will leave us, walk to the bathroom, then meow and cry until one of us comes to her just for her to flop over and start purring.

We kept her in the bathroom and stayed with her for a couple days when we first got her, and she always finds it in every new apartment. We think she remembers the time we got her and all the attention she had those first days and so just needs to be pet in the bathroom every so often, its like a safe space or something
