Why don't we care more for the animals?

Our animals are suffering terribly in the warehouses they live in before they become our food. We can do so much better. Animals have feelings....they also feel pain.

We have feelings we call love. What exactly is love? Is love for others, or bottom line...is it really for ourselves? Do we do things for others expressly for others, or do we do things because we need gratitude/affection in return? I know when we give presents to others we let them know who sends them. If we were to do things expressly for others and not for ourselves, there would be no need for return of any kind, even gratitude. We constantly get disturbed when people don't show enough gratitude. People say animals do not have compassion....well, How deep does our compassion run without return? Are animals really so different? Maybe their lifestyles are much more honest, as they have not built up walls and walls of rules that take away from their true natures.

Animals need our help, they are suffering terribly and we turn our heads as it is happening, we don't give a damn. When I was just a little girl I used to imagine a race from another planet coming to earth and doing to us what we do to our animals. Using us as food, but having no compassion because they consider us a inferior life form. I know one thing for sure, we consider other people who torture to be sick, crazy, the scum of the earth. Isn't turning our heads to torture almost just as bad?.. I am begging people to care for our animals. A easy way to start is to eat less meat and sign petitions for the ethical treatment of animals......Thanks....K
