In June of 2006, Cuomo | In June of 2006, Cuomo was interviewed by Beliefnet, a spiritual website. In the interview, Cuomo discusses reading Daniel Defoe's ''Robinson Crusoe''. He mentions, "''One thing that really struck me is, what he writes about for some reason comes across as so cruel. Like there's so little feeling of compassion or regret that he has to kill the animals to survive. I'm not sure what to make of it yet. The way he describes it is so cold...It never occurred to him that the suffering of the animals is something to worry about or to feel sorry about. And maybe that was just a product of the times or maybe some Christian philosophy that justifies it; I'm not sure. Really the thing that strikes me most about it is: Maybe there's something in me that's reacting to this and that maybe other people wouldn't notice it''." | ||
