I truly believe that when we care for animals and nature, they care for us in return. This is not just an artist’s responsibility, but a human one. Without them, we are nothing. When a dog, a cat, or any living being enters our lives, something shifts inside us. That presence changes us.
Personally, I live with five dogs and two cats, and I am deeply connected to animals. If it were possible, I would bring every dog and cat I meet into my home, but that is not always realistic. What is possible is showing our humanity. At the very least, we should not become cruel. We should not destroy their homes, displace them, or harm them. Their habitats should be protected, not taken away.
There are so many kind souls who feed them, who take time out of their lives to care for them. Even if we cannot do that ourselves, the least we can do is not speak badly about them or stand in the way of compassion.
My sincere belief is this: if they exist, we exist. Their energy is pure and beautiful, and the joy we experience in life often comes through them.
