I agree Catherine.
I do seem to see a trend, though. More people are considering the rights of others nowadays...whereas not so very long ago, even different human skin colours were treated so badly by others who happened to be different!
I am hoping this trend generally is leading to more awareness about how we treat other species.
I do think the personal bonds which people are experiencing with other species are helping to cause this change. I contribute to a pets' bereavement website, and there are numerous new posts per day. People who consider their animals- (dogs and cats mostly, but sometimes other species) -as family members and grieve their passing very much indeed.
Although this is painful for them, it is giving them the opportunity to open their hearts to another species, and widen their awareness about love for others.
