The Hon Michael Kirby AC CMG, Patron of Voiceless and former Justice of the High Court, has called for a more ethical relationship between humans and other animals in an interview with ABC's Lateline.
"They are not just things, they're not just objects. They aren't just put on Earth for our benefit and our amusement. They are creatures that have feelings very similar to our own and if we can understand our own feelings and our own fear and pain, we should be able to understand that of other animals," said Michael.
