I wrote Mona Dixon of AETN the
following letter accompanied by VA
#9
Thank you Mona. I am a long-time
contributor to and watcher of AETN--music, science, mysteries, Moyers,
Frontline. A specific program I'll point to with appreciation are those
teaching humans to understand and have compassion for other animals, esp.
programs in which animals of different species become friends. The film
about the 16 wild turkeys raised by Mr. Hutto was truly exceptional. One
small criticism from my particular point of view--vegetarianism. You urge
us to love and protect animals, but also to kill and eat them! (Recipe of
the month.) Pay some attention to the consistent vegetarian view that
walks its talk about loving animals?
Thanks, Dick Bennett
[No reply from Mona. And last week AETN presented another film on
cross-species friendship—a man and a seal.
Maybe that was her positive reply!]

Towards a Better World that Honors
Animals
Gandhi once said, "The greatness
of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are
treated." His words speak to a deep truth about humans and our animal brethren
– the quality of the relationship mirrors where we are in our collective
evolution.
By virtue of superior tools, humans
now have an unprecedented level of power in relationship to other animals. What
we choose to do with this power reflects how far we’ve grown in compassion and
wisdom. Abuse or domination of animals reflects (and reinforces) our own
wounds, splits, and disease, whereas loving respect of animals encourages our
integration and health.
When we practice communicating with
animals, we begin to cultivate a different kind of relationship, one based on
honoring their sovereignty, intelligence, and capacity to feel and think. We
move beyond being masters of animals into the more enduring joy that is born of
communion. And we also shift our worldview towards a deeper appreciation of the
inner life of our fellow travelers on planet earth.
Over time, the practice of animal
communication can deepen into a love that encompasses all of the inhabitants of
our planet. It is this kind of love – a compassionate concern for the whole –
that is the ultimate solution to our ecological, political, and spiritual
crises. Communicating with animals is thus a practice that contributes to the
evolution of human civilization, as well as creating a richer experience of
life for each of us that undertake the journey. The better world towards which
we are all striving will be one in which humans and animals have a relationship
built upon respect and honoring.
Non-human animals have abilities that
have often atrophied in humans, which can lead our animal companions to have a
healing influence on us. Humans, by virtue of the environments we create, can
provide an opportunity for animals to move beyond survival-level challenges and
experience a more fully supportive existence. In this way, humans and non-human
animals can establish a mutually enriching relationship that moves our world
towards greater integration, health, and wholeness.
