If you
want to buy a pet, if you want to rescue one, or if someone
gives one to you, you have to know in advance whether you can
commit to keeping it. It's a living creature, a being, exactly
like us, but just a little more gifted with intuition and sharper
faculties. So it's like a human being. Sometimes, when you look
into their eyes, my God, you feel the message coming--they are
equal... They are all beings. Just different, understand? Just
like we're Chinese and you're American; he's a parrot and we're
human. Do you understand my meaning? They're not lower than
you are. Because they're so intelligent; they have intelligence.
It's just that they don't need complicated computers like we
do, because they're free. They fly, and they eat anything. Their
life is freer. We humans do different things so we need more
instruments...
