It made me wonder how many times we forgive just because we don’t want to lose someone, even if they don’t deserve our forgiveness.

The great bear rainforest in British Columbia is one of the largest coastal temperate rain forests in the world, with twenty five thousand square miles of mist shrouded fjords and densely forested islands that are home to white furred black bears.

If, as I believe, animals feel pain, humiliation, sorrow and all the other emotions, these feelings cannot be ignored in our behavior toward them. A bear is not going to compose Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, but then neither is our next door neighbor. We do not for this reason conclude that we have the freedom to experiment upon him, hunt him for sport, or eat him for food. … Jeremy Bentham in 1789 connected sentient feelings with rights this way: ‘A full grown horse or dog is beyond comparison a more rational, as well as a more conversable animal, than an infant of a day, or a week, or even a month old. But suppose the case were otherwise, what would it avail? The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?’
