Dr Liz's Gratitude Project - Animal Lovers are the Best Kind of people

This is the final Gratitude for 2014 for me - but it is not the final one ever.  It is important to be grateful for what we have, and what is around us, for if we forget, then we can not truly appreciate.

"I am grateful for the animal lovers in our community, as they are the best kind of people. "

"The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated."

Mahatma Gandhi

In Wollongong, this year we saw a nasty element within our community - some of it was for the anti-animal side (at the extreme view believed pets should not be part of our community), and some was from the animal side (who believed their pets had the right to everything).   Like any extreme view, neither was right, and both extreme sides missed the point of tolerance, understanding, cooperation and kindness. 

However, I may be biased, I do believe that those who are kinder to animals, are more likely to show kindness and compassion to their fellow man too. Those who are nasty or cruel to animals, are more likely (IMHO), to equally be violent or aggressive to their fellow human being.
