  Animals have feelings too
Updated 11 July 2003, 10.38
Rescued kittens
Sian feels strongly about treating animals with respect.

And in her report she says that it's wrong to think animals have no feelings.

"I am strongly against animal abuse.

Animals are lovely, harmonious creatures who create a relaxed, happy atmosphere and they are very forgiving.

Clever

No matter how many times I accidentally (I'm clumsy by the way) stand on my cat's tail she always comes back to me, purring, her tail waving high in the air.

Some people think that because animals supposedly aren't clever they have no feelings whatsoever.

Different skin

I don't know why we experiment on animals.

People have different reactions. My friend is allergic to some deodorants and I am not.

There must be some kind of difference in our skin.

Animals have skin as well so is it not true that they will have different reactions as well?

Also they're a different species to us, so they almost definitely do have different skin!

We are selfish

Ever since we skimmed the surface of the Earth we have wanted to kill; to take animal skins, to give forests the chop and all for ourselves.

We think we are so clever yet we're not. Why can't we chill out a bit and allow the true beauty of animals to shine through?"
