I am writing to you, Jeremy Rifkin, today to talk about the article that you have written “A Change of Heart about Animals”. In the article you talk about how animals do have at least basic human feelings and if not more. That “many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we had ever imagined”. That we should do something about how we treat the animals around us. I absolutely agree with you and think we should treat the animals around us differently than we do now. There have been many situations where people don’t even follow the code of conduct and mistreat animals which seems very inhumane about hurting and mistreating animals when there are laws about.

This is because people also tend to forget that animals do have at least basic human feelings and disregard their emotions. They think of them as just food or show and tell.

According to an article “Hooked on a Myth” by Victoria Braithwaite it says, “Of course, this doesn’t mean that we necessarily must change our behavior”(16). Although they are talking about fish having feelings and can feel physical pain, this can be applied to all animals as well. Of course we can’t just stop selling animal products but we can help ease the pain of animals that we consume or use for testing. We can make it less inhumane, we can find a way to help them out. Like in your article, “In Germany, the government is encouraging pig farmers to give each pic 20 seconds of human contact each day and to provide them with toys to prevent them from fighting,”(5). When doing that we can provide information on how it affects them and the quality of their well being. Then compare it to the ones that don’t get the same care. Once doing so release it to the public and so people can know what’s really going on. Doing so I feel like would help people understand more about what's going
