Play Without Morals
"A jaguar stares intently at a green bird wing butterfly, unsure of whether to grab it with her jaws or to watch it flutter back into the sky. If her instincts tell her to play, the butterfly will lose its life, a harmless action in her eyes; she does not abide by the ethics of our world.
​
The difference between life and death for this butterfly affects the future of its species existence. Bird wing numbers are rapidly declining, but the jaguar does not understand this concept and continues to play despite the consequences of her actions. After all, play time helps her train her reflexes so that too can keep her own species from going extinct.
​
As humans, we understand the ethics surrounding the death of a single animal with respect to its dwindling numbers. We have the ability to choose to kill or not depending on our own needs , desires and morals. This is why it is man's duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves."

The Unbiased Jury
"A stigma free world may only exist when those who judge our differences and choose our treatments come from a place of unconditional love and from an unbiased perspective. If human judgement was seen through a jury of dogs, all would be accepted, loved and given the support that they need. We will never achieve a stigma free society until we begin to judge our citizens with the same unbiased compassion as our furry friends."
