"There is still strong in our society the belief that
animals and the natural world have value only insofar as they can be
converted into revenue. That nature is a commodity. And that the
American dream is one of unlimited consumption. There are many of us, on
the other hand, who believe that animals and the natural world have
value by virtue of being alive. That Nature is a community to which we
belong and to which we owe our lives. And that the deeper American dream
is one of unlimited compassion."
