Free: as in not under the control or in the power of another; the ability to act or be or do as one wishes. Albert Camus wrote Humans are the only creatures who don't want to be what they are. And what we absolutely don’t want to be is an animal. We are face to face with the absolute need to reevaluate our relationship to every other living being on earth, particularly as companions or entertainment- be it zoo or sanctuary or pet. Today with my guest Adam Roberts of Born Free USA, we discuss the enormous implications and interconnectedness of our actions on those around us. As complex and innumerable as these connections are, the concept is simple: Will we accept that each choice we make has an impact, that for better and for worse, we each can make a difference? From how we choose to entertain ourselves to how we do business we have the knowledge and ability to act differently, the big question remains- Are we willing to change our behavior and actions?
