“Some people believe that only humans experiencing manifest suffering are worthy objects of compassion, implying that animals and humans experiencing relative comfort are not. This is wrong. Animals and insects have minds, and, like humans, experience pleasure and pain. However, although they are the same as humans in that they seek to experience happiness and avoid suffering, in reality they experience far greater suffering than humans.” — Geshe Kelsang Gyatso - “Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully”
