    Why are people who care for animals still called upon to justify it? Animals suffer pain, hunger, thirst, and emotional distress just as human beings do. In all respects, we are more alike than we are different. Modern science has demonstrated that there are only degrees of separation between humans and other animals, and the consciousness of animals is fully recognized by top scientists, including Stephen Hawking. Pope Francis has denounced the dominionist view of creation, and has called for a new relationship of care for animals. The Quran states that each species of animal is a “nation” unto itself, as humans are a nation, and assures us that they will return to Allah. Mohammad Alaa Aljaleel of Syria is answering the call of conscience to be an example to others, and he is living his faith and mine.
