"No one anointed us rulers of this kingdom. It's not ours to own. We are simply one of the animal species on our planet. Not separate. Not superior
We hold in our hands the responsibility to preserve harmony in the natural world

She lived my kind of life. A life spent more with animals than people. RIP Jane.
