I believe all animals are sacred, and it is our kindness toward them that reflects our true humanity. I often give talks at churches and mosques on the faith-based perspective of caring for animals—reminding communities how their beliefs encourage compassion and responsibility. “A reward is given in connection with every living creature.”

If you’re part of a mosque, madrassah, church, or any place of worship, I’d be honoured to visit and inspire others about the often-overlooked connection between faith and love for animals.
