Plutarch of Chaeronea, Greek biographer ca. 100 C.E. (via plantyogi)

All animals are somebody—someone with a life of their own. Behind those eyes is a story, the story of their life in their world as they experience it. In our culture, we have been encouraged to think of animals as things, as commodities. The great challenge lies in having a change of perception.
