What does passion have to do with animals?
In 2001, in the weeks before Easter, the Dutch broadcaster IKON asked seven people to reflect on the passion of a historical figure. Animal Freedom took part. Each writer looked for the link with standing up for animals.
The word passion has two meanings: deep desire and suffering. Whoever pursues something with passion often meets resistance as well. That is true of the great figures in history. It is also true of people who stand up for animals.
Four words come back in all these life stories:
Feelingit starts with unease or compassion
Visiona powerful view of life
Inspirationthe driving force and at the same time the source of inner peace
Actionpassionate people will not be pushed into a corner
Does it grow the same way in people who work for animals? Read their personal stories.
