Betty White was an ardent supporter of animals. Here's an article about some of her work, and how you can continue to support some of the causes she supported:

And, Caroline Myss cites this example of the kind of mystical awakening that feels deeply disturbing, and which leads to changes in behavior:
"...let’s say that one day while staring out the window in a type of quiet reflective mood, you are suddenly immersed in a state of full and active awareness that all animals are “conscious beings”. They are not, as most human beings perceive them, just mindless creatures running around without the capacity to “feel”, to “bond”, to “fear”, to sense changes in the Earth environment. They have an active consciousness. They feel gratitude for human kindness and horror at human cruelty. They are terrified to be hunted down and mourn the loss of their young.
"...The pain of it nearly crushes the life and breath out of you. Days – no, weeks – are required for you to recover. Your world looks the same, but nothing is the same. You feel as if every tree is looking at you where once it was you looking at the tree. Are you going mad? You cannot help but wonder this. Then you think that you will go mad unless you find a way to respond, to contain a truth so unimaginable but so real. You know it’s real, more real than the “living sacred conscious ground” upon which you walk."
May all beings be well and happy.
