The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith.

Animals have come to mean so much in our lives. We live in a fragmented and disconnected culture. Politics are ugly, religion is struggling, technology is stressful, and the economy is unfortunate.
