The trough I use to feed myself, is welcome to them.
No kidding. Man prides himself on partitioned head-space, that apparently sets him, lastingly, apart from animals.
Enough that he may deem them lowly creatures, not worthy of loving kindness and gentle natural care. Or so it seems, too often.
Just a small question. Who fights with millions? Protects his territory with far more than words of solemn weightiness? Cannot control his urges and greedily plucks earth and water empty, to stuff himself?
Even, if the partitioned head-space is given plenty of attention. Man repeats all the animal ways, without a single thought about consequences and his growth beyond such behaviours.
No judgement passed.
But just as a thought. We, as mighty human beings, are inheritors of the animal mind and animal ways.
We, with our partitioned head-space, should understand and care for them properly.
In the very least, be kind to animals.
I can often help, with gentle natural care.
