Justice for Animals and Nature
No religion can be true to itself if it is indifferent to the welfare of animals or at worse calls for the exploitation and death of non-humans. The defining quality of a true religion is loving kindness and compassion. It cannot be confined to one species or shared on a cherry-picking basis excluding all other non-human species.
Animals kidnapped from tropical countries are now dying en masse without heat in their cages in European Zoos being frozen to death. The bitter European Winter does not discriminate between man and animal. These avoidable deaths constitute a further Justification for the closure of Zoos which is another instance of man’s inhumanity to animals.
