Humans interact with animals in numerous ways and on numerous levels. We are indeed living in an “animal”s world,’ in the sense that our lives are very much intertwined with the lives of animals.
For those living in the United States, there is a good chance that waking up each morning includes small paws walking across the bed or a cold, wet nose to the hand.
There are many reasons why animals play a big role in our lives nowadays.They are not only a source of food which is extremely important for us, but depending on the species, they may have many other roles in our lives. One thing is certain, however: we must respect all animals, and we should definitely stop animal cruelty. We’ve all probably seen people hitting pets, such as dogs or cats before, or capturing wild animals in order for them to be trained for the circus.These are just some of the many examples when people mistreat the animals. We should all try to raise awareness, so this can stop as soon as possible.
Here, in this article, we’ll try to do exactly that, by looking into touching Animal Quotes

They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other Nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.” ― Henry Beston
