The person that made this video wanted to drive home a point about treating swans with respect and dignity. I feel this way about all animals. I sincerely believe that you can judge a person's character by the way that they regard animals.

“Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.”

by Anatole France.

I would change the quote to "Until one has loved ALL animals a part of one soul remains unawakened."

At our farm we believe "All animals are created equal."

Our geese work together with the Great Pyrenees as guardians for the alpacas. The geese hear noises rather far in advance of the livestock dogs and sound the alert squawk. The Pyrs come rushing out when they hear that sound and look around for predators. It is kind of amazing the way that animals do work together. This summer my geese became very fond of our new alpaca baby and slept with in a few feet of him every night and were next to him in the field in the daytime. I just love it when my animals work together without any effort on my part. I have a lot of respect for nature and feel that mankind is just too busy to notice the splendor of the animal world around them sometimes.

I have a young high school girl come out after school to help me with the alpacas.We both have a blast working together and she really gets a kick out of all of the animal (alpacas, dogs, cats, and geese) antics. My dog, Rosie starts waiting for her new girlfriend to come about 15 to 20 minutes before she gets to our farm. Rosie just stands by the fence looking out to our driveway waiting for the car that delivers Rosie's new friend. So the first 10 minutes or so my helper has to put up with Rosie greetings. But I think that their relationship is working out as I heard my helper say, "I love you, Rosie."
