Dominion does not mean domination. We hold dominion over animals only
because of our powerful and ubiquitous intellect. Not because we are
morally superior. Not because we have a "right" to exploit those who
cannot defend themselves. Let us use our brain to move toward compassion
and away from cruelty, to feel empathy rather than cold indifference,
to feel animals' pain in our hearts.
