Life is the process through which pure conscious energy takes physical forms just to gather more experience and learn more lessons. It's necessary to successfully finish the birth cycle of being animals to get graduated to be a human. Spiritually speaking, when you raise an animal, you literally help it get assimilated into your level of culture and consciousness to some extent and it leaves the imprint of human level consciousness in the animal's soul at the time of its death, helping it get graduated into human birth cycle, the very next time. It's the service, you do to an organism of lower density of consciousness. It takes a long time for a wild animal to get graduated into your level of consciousness naturally. It's a long cycle of evolution through different births, learning more about, organization, leadership, symbiotic relationship and collaboration. When you raise an animal, it's the intentional manipulation of its evolution, you do, helping it skip the natural cycle of evolution.
