I knew there was a reason I like Da Vinci so much.

Link to tweet

Leonardo Da Vinci had such a love for animals, he would often buy animals he saw caged, just so he could set them free.

When I see animals cruelty caged for purchase, I hate the sellers and don't want to support them. Then I get to thinking about creating a movement about preventing the unkind treatment of animals. I talk to people...and... get overwhelmingly depressed.

"talk to people...and... get overwhelmingly depressed."

Don't look at any wild critter videos on YouTube, as I did.
I love the little wild gray foxes in my "bird sanctuary" neighborhood and wanting to view more/learn more about them, I googled only to find videos of them trapped & shot. Asked why this person would want to do that? The person's reply: "Why not?"
Inhumane people without an ounce of empathy. 😡
