What can I do when I see animals suffer?

In this short teaching, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh answers a question from the audience during a retreat in Plum Village, France (May, 2014).

Full question: It hurts me when I hear about animal suffering. I just don't understand how to get past it. I try to help but feel helpless at times. What can I do?
