I know we’ve reblogged you recently. Ani, but you talk so much sense! We dogs are appalled by the human government’s decision that animals don’t have feelings, and your post speaks for all of us. We hope our readers will visit your blog, leave a comment and sign the petition.
I am an animal. Therefore, I am not sentient…
I have no emotions.
I do not feel happiness…
… joy…
… or fear.
I have no curiosity, because I am not a sentient being.
I have no understanding of the finer emotions, like gentleness, or sharing.
No understanding of wonder, excitement…
…or hope.
I do not suffer when I am ill.
I need no comforting…
I cannot laugh…

Oh Millie and Pearl, I am so worried about this vote, and also VERY ANGRY. I am completely fed up and disillusioned by our horrible politicians who only think about what’s in it for them. My Rufus and Buster know happiness, joy, pain, when it’s dinner time, walk time, bed time, they know all our human routines. I have signed a petition and can only hope that thousands more sign too.
