- My motivation is empathy for the victims and shame of being myself a part of the problem. I feel so sorry and so bad about what we are doing to all the other species we share the planet with. We have no right to be so disrespectful and so cruel. I personally can't just go on with life as if everything was okay. So I try to do what I can. Filmmaker Patrick Rouxel
