I try not to speak in quotes... but Noah seems to sum it all up so perfectly...

“The world is waking up from its deep slumber to the fact that animals do matter. Animal welfare matters to people. It matters to our survival. It matters to our happiness. It matters to the environment. It matters to human health. But, most of all, animal welfare matters to the animals.”

The Honourable Minister Noah Wekesa,

Minister of Education, Science and Technology of Kenya
