"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive." - Dalai Lama

In Buddhist teachings, the thread of compassion runs deep, emphasising the importance of interconnectedness and kindness towards all beings. This ethos extends naturally to our relationship with animals, urging us to refrain from causing harm, and actively work towards their well-being. Compassion towards animals is not only a virtue, but also a reflection of our humanity and interconnectedness with all living beings. On that note, Buddhist teachings offer a good entry point into extending compassion towards animals. https://www.thekchencholing.org/blog/blogs-14/post/buddhist-ways-of-benefitting-animals-99
