I've also seen animals who are more nurturing and caring than some humans.
Several winters ago we had a goat that gave birth to twins the one day we were away to make sure an elderly relative was doing okay after a stroke. By the time we got home, the kids were dead. Long story short, she essentially died from depression not long after. We did all we could but she no longer had a will to live. Arguably one of the healthiest and most stubborn goats we had, too. It was heartbreaking to watch and I was there when she breathed her last.
It's hard to come to terms with but, like the article says, it gives you so much more appreciation for God, where your food comes from, and life in general.
