Sufferings: Animal Realm
Most animals live in the darkness between continents. Body – various. They don’t
have the mind to create intention. They lack the ability to learn even if taught.
They cannot create merit for themselves and others. They have fear of being eaten
and pierced. They cannot escape humans. They are used and exploited. They have intense
fear for survival. They are hunted for their body and for sport. They are held in
captivity. Their lifespan varies.
