The caring, compassionate workers and professionals at Freedom4Animals have recently implemented this program to cultivate deeper learning in the science and emotion of empathy. Definitionally, empathy means the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner.
