I did not meet Frans, I have seen various talks, interviews and read a few of his books.
I found that I became respectful of the emotional life of animals and there importance to me.
His reach is wide, I am immensely grateful to have been introduced to his work and writing. I am not an academic or professional in any of his field of study, but moved me to know more and to treat our other sentient beings with more respect.
It is a gift to have known of him.🙏
