Some even stressed that human beings do not respect other creatures like they should.
Animals are so intelligent. I wish we humans give them enough respect for their intelligence, empathy. Compassion, instincts, love etc. They are just like us humans and, compared to some, I say better! They steal my heart every time!

She probably regretted that decision about 5 minutes later.
