""The purity of a person's heart can be quickly measured by how they regard animals"

There is an Indian legend which says:
> "when a human dies, there is a bridge they must cross
> to enter into heaven. At the head of this bridge awaits every
> animal the human encountered during their lifetime...
> The animals, based upon what they know of this person, decide
> which humans may cross the bridge...and which are turned away"....
> Unknown

'Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.' - The Dalai Lama
