Love your blog, would love suggestions on ours...we just went live last week. www.zooillogix.blogspot.com Thanks! the Brothers Bleiman If you are into this sort of thing, the book “Why Elephants Weep” is definitely a must-read, so is any research/media/books on Bonobos (a great “Nature” episode on them aired recently on PBS), creatures with perhaps the highest capacity for compassion of any species other than our own.

I wish I'd seen that (on all counts!) It would seem that our own species is more of an exception to the rule than an exemplar, in this regard. And yet the potential is so great.

I live on a very small gulf island have seen compassion among animals. I have witnessed my horses babysitting fawns while their mothers ate. And I have watched my horse kneel down so an old arthritic cat could ride on his back all the way to pasture in the morning and then back to the the barn again at supper time. I too hope that inter-species compassion will be the next evolution of the mind. I think this was a very interesting post. I live on a very small gulf island have seen compassion among animals.
