“Compassion is one of my four key values because it is the emotion that connects to another’s circumstance and motivates us to help them. There is nothing more important in life than to help another. This is compassion in action. I am a huge fan of videos produced by organisations documenting their courageous work rescuing animals and those that record ordinary people doing extraordinary things to help animals. It matters to me see these compassionate actions and much more importantly it matters to the animals who are being rescued.”3Zarosa, U. 201?. Compassion in Action – Interview with Kim Stallwood.
