Humans tend to forget that they’re not the only sentient species on the planet. Elephants and dolphins, for example, are incredibly smart and empathetic. However, since they’re unable to express themselves with the written word or language, therefore, are deemed to be less intelligent than humans of today.

It’s a shame, really, for mankind could learn much from the creatures who live in harmony with nature. Instead, our species has evolved to destroy and exploit the Earth’s natural resources. As a result, animals have endured horrific suffering.
