I'm sure gonna miss you, Lady. I am so happy that I got to see you last summer. You lived a long life and I'm grateful to have known you, held you and hear you purr. You will always be remembered, always be in my heart....

Excerpt from "Do Animals Have Souls?" by Stacey Mantle
In over twenty years of working with animals, I have never seen a kitten duct-tape a live human baby to a freeway.
I also have never seen a cat find enjoyment from setting a human on fire. I've never gone hiking in the desert to find a child that dogs have left tied to a stake, without food and water, to die a painful death in the desert heat.
I have never seen a chicken force two unwilling humans to fight in a ring with razor blades attached to their feet while the chickens place bets on who will be the first to die.
I haven't seen a puppy place eight children in a gunnysack and drown them in a river.
Neither have I seen an eagle aim a shotgun at an unarmed human.
I have yet to see a bear kill a human simply to place a head on the wall of his cave.
And to this day, I have not seen a pigeon drive a car down the road and aim for humans who were walking around the park.
Let me tell you what I have seen.
I have seen my own cats sleep next to me so they might keep me a little warmer while I was ill.
I've seen my dogs play games with me just to force a smile to my face.
I have seen a cat rush into a burning home not once, not twice, but six times to save her kittens--nearly losing her own life in the process.
I have seen a ferret pull a frightened kitten out of a deep hole in the ground.
I have seen a coyote fetch another dog so that she might get the care she needed. I've seen a dog, who loves to jump on people, avoid jumping on me when I injured my back.
I've seen elephants cry.
I've seen monkeys scream in empathy when one of their own were injured.
I've seen puppies whine all night long when they were separated from their mothers.
I've seen a dog pull a child away from a fire.
These are just a few examples. It would take a lifetime to list them all.
