![“We cannot talk with [animals] as we can with human beings, yet we can communicate with them on mental and emotional levels. They should, however, be accorded equality in that they should receive both compassion and respect; it is unworthy of us to exploit them in any way.” quote by Rebecca Hall](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/461/rebecca-hall-3694_animal_we-cannot-talk-with-animals-as-we-can-wi_2945539.jpg)
