The awful thing is we don't respect each other.

When I look back over my life it's almost as if there was a plan laid out for me - from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn't afford to put her through college. Everyone laughed at my dreams. I was supposed to be a secretary in Bournemouth.

Of course animals have a personality and emotions.

Mainly because as women's education increases all around the planet, we find that family size tends to drop.

Never be arrogant or abrasive. Treat your opponent respectfully if they really and truly believe they are right.

Of course we're all programmed genetically to some extent. But the "selfish gene" thesis doesn't explain everything.

Animals were my passion from even before I could speak apparently. When I was about 10, 11 I fell in love with Tarzan.
