"If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans most of the time Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though, That's the problem. My dad said to me one-day quote Animals are born who they are, accept it, and that is that. They live with greater peace than people do. thank you for your help nature will compensate you."
