Does human karma apply to animals?
Yes. Even if we don’t see how we suffer for our mistreatment of animals, we suffer every moment in the absence of their love–not in the absence of their love for us, because their tolerance and compassion toward the human race know no bounds, but we suffer daily in the absence of our love for them. To live unconsciously and invoke pain on animals is to divorce yourself from the realms of love and tenderness that could completely heal ourselves and our world.
