Feel Your Wounds. Don’t Give Them to Animals.

Please stop hurting animals. I’m begging people to stop.

Feel your wounds. Face your pain. Work through whatever is inside you, but please don’t put it onto a living being that cannot understand why you’re hurting them.

Animals don’t want to hurt you. They trust you. They depend on you. So many of them give us love with no agenda, no manipulation, no conditions.

Please, man. If you’re hurting, get help. Walk away. Cry. Scream. Talk to someone. Do anything except take it out on an animal that trusted you.

They are living beings. They feel fear. They feel pain. They deserve gentleness.

Please stop.
