If you had a little more humanity in you, perhaps you would realize that all living things have a soul, a behavior mechanism. There are many that feel pain and understand far more about compassion than you could even imagine. So, perhaps we should project animalism upon you rather than embarrass you with stories of compassion and love extended.
Animals CAN bring love to people; it isn’t just imaginary.
Why. We project human qualities on humans that have none. I would bet the elephant has more human qualities than most of the Obama voters.
“Well, holy scripture views most, but not all, animals as a kind of “nephesh.” This is a word meaning soul.”
I have read that. But it more closely refers to ‘life’ itself.
