I like to think this series of pen and ink drawing celebrates the personality and character of the animals we share this planet with. It saddens me that we human animals generally lack the empathy and emotional maturity to appreciate the sentience of other animals. Sentience is defined as the capacity to experience both joy and suffering. We encroach on their space and we consume animals on an industrial scale and inflict a degree of suffering on some creatures that we should collectively be ashamed of.
I hope that we can somehow right some of the damage we have done to this tiny planet before we utterly destroy it and grasp that basic human rights (respect, liberty, peace, health and space) should be extended to our all fellow creatures.
