Acknowledging Animals
At the moment, law making is by reference only to the best interests of people. I would like to see our constitutions and governments formally acknowledge our responsibility to other species as well.
The POW constitution, for example, provides the moral framework for this site. It is premised on all people’s presumed desires for freedom, security and equality. But with people having power over the whole environment, shouldn’t the constitution, particularly in the case of a world government (notional though this one is) include something like - “To the extent that the rights of people are not compromised, the rights of freedom and security extend to all animals�
In a future world that contained this kind of recognition, governments could or should have a department dealing specifically with the advancement of the freedom and security of animals.

It is up to the people to protect Animals and give them a voice.
The economy is a large problem here as animals can only contribute by dying and giving themselves as food or standing in a cage where people pay to see or towing a cart.

It’s up to us to speak for them.
So far the federal reserve is keeping the human race drunk on money enough that most of us have little care.
Walk through your local shopping centre and look into the eyes of people.
Most are like zombies, they have reached there full mental capacity watching sitcoms, earning minimum wage, eating crap food, and living meaningless lives.
We should take care of animals and the earth.
