We can not have peace if we, fundamentally, don't have reverence for life. Any life: human, animal, or otherwise.
We cannot have peace if we, fundamentally, have distrust of each other.
The question to answer is why are we so quick to pass judgement on someone? We cannot have true insight into anyone's feelings or thoughts or life experience. The way in is profound understanding and full disclosure. That takes time, desire to understand, willingness to listen.
Our society isn't built on vulnerability or trust. We operate mostly out of fear, fight or flight. Very often, our fight is worse than those of animals whom we consider to be inferior enough to us to be killed en masse or for fun.
We are humans. We have a brain significantly larger than any other life form. We can and absolutely must do and be better.
