IMPORTANT REMINDER; “One of the most destructive words we use when we speak of nonhuman beings, is owner. The notion that other species are property,” or commodities or things that we can own, underlies every instance of animal abuse and exploitation. If we refer to ourselves as guardians rather than owners, we begin to get to the root of the problem instead of putting out endless brush fires; we are reminded of our truest values as compassionate individuals. And each time someone reads or hears “guardian” in our public and private discourse, there will be a tiny spark of recognition that we are talking about a role that requires responsibility, compassion and care. Jan Allegretti, Founder, C.A.R.E.
