We need only to list some of those who have spoken out for kindness and compassion toward animals to realize how many of the truly great have been among their ranks. Albert Einstein begged us to widen the “circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” Albert Schweitzer insisted, “We need a boundless ethic that includes animals too.” Mahatma Gandhi believed, “You can tell about the people of a country by the way they treat their animals.”
