Animal Quote by Derek Tangye
“I do not mind having imaginary conversations with animals who are part of my life. The comfort of talking to one at a time of personal distress is so soothing because one has the ease of knowing that one's secrets will not be repeated to anyone. Yet there are those who are horrified that an animal can be a more reliable part of one's world than that of the human world.”

![“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)
