Animals, they are one of the most beautiful gifts we have and, you know, if there are people that have compassion, there are very few people that put their money into animal rescue organizations. And if there is someone that has that passion, animals need all the help they can get.

Milano frames animals as a “gift” whose value is moral and emotional, not merely utilitarian. She contrasts widespread compassion in principle with the relative scarcity of concrete support—especially financial giving—to animal rescue organizations. The quote functions as a gentle critique of performative empathy and a call to align feelings with action. By emphasizing that animals “need all the help they can get,” she underscores the scale of neglect, abandonment, and underfunding faced by shelters and rescues, and suggests that individual passion can have outsized impact when translated into donations, volunteering, or advocacy.
