In time

When we see what we’ve done and people open their hearts to the animals they’ve been exploiting and killing, we’ll start to feel concern. We will concern ourselves with these animals’ comfort and well being, and treat them with as much dignity as we do our own children and companion animals.
Just as environmental consciousness has come about, by way of mass concern for the planet, it follows that we must eventually show the same level of concern for animals. We’ll drop our animal eating habits. Then it will be normal to eat exclusively from plants. To only wear clothing that hasn’t been made with animal parts. As time goes on we will forget why we kept and ate animals in the first place. Veganism will be so normal that we won’t even have a name for it. By then we’ll acknowledge animals and be at their service, to atone for what we’ve done to them. We’ll rehabilitate them and provide refuge for them in safe sanctuaries. And we certainly won’t be breeding them!! The very idea of interfering with another species’ breeding cycles let alone keeping them in captivity will not only be scorned but will win mention in the history books, in much the same way as Dr. Mengler’s experiments on humans in Nazi Germany.
When humans realise their mistake, make amends and become their guardians, animals will regain their lives, and their individual, irreplaceable souls will find peace. When we eventually come to rescue these animals, from farms and research labs, we won’t be able to simply turn them loose to lead a ‘natural’ life. They’ve been so completely altered from their wild state that they wouldn’t survive for long on their own. We can only retire them and intervene to stop their breeding. And hope to hell they can forgive us.
