To live humanely means to consider animals and their welfare in the every day choices you make. This can be as simple as providing fresh water for wild birds or adopting a pet from your local shelter. By practicing a humane lifestyle, you can impact so many aspects of life around you—from animals, to the environment, to your own health.
Here are some ideas to help you think and live humanely:
- Go veggie: Eat food that doesn’t contribute to animal suffering.
