When a man wantonly destroys one of
the works of man we call him a vandal.
When he destroys one of the works
of god we call him a sportsman.

Wild animals never kill for sport.
Man is the only one to whom the
torture and death of his fellow-
creatures is amusing in itself.

If you have men who will exclude
any of God's creatures from the
shelter of compassion and pity, you

with their fellow men.

Because the heart beats under a covering
of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, it is, for
that reason, to be of no account?

To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less
precious than that of a human being. The
more helpless the creature, the more
that it is entitled to protection by
man from the cruelty of man.
Mahatma Gandhi,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Truly man is the king of beast
for his brutality excedes theirs.

A man can live and be healthy without
killing animals for food; therefore, if he
eats meat, he participates in taking
animal life merely for the sake of his
appetite. And to act so is immoral.
Leo Tolst,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Non-violence leads to the highest ethics,
which is the goal of all evolution. Until we
stop harming all other living beings,
we are still savages.
Thomas A. Edison

The wild, cruel animal is not
behind the bars of a cage.
He is in front of it.

Teaching a child not to step on a
caterpillar is as valuable to the child
as it is to the caterpillar.

When a man wants to murder a tiger
he calls it sport; when the tiger wants
to murder him he calls it ferocity.

Our task must be to free ourselves...
by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and
the whole of nature and it's beauty.

The basis of all animal rights should be the
Golden Rule: we should treat them as we
would wish them to treat us, were any
other species in our dominant position.
Christine Stevens

Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog
or man. There is no difference there
between a cat or a man. The idea
of difference is a human conception
for man's own advantage.

they're in the game. Paul Rodriguez,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Nothing will benefit human health and
increase the chances for survival of life
on earth as much as the evolution
to a vegetarian diet
Albert Einstein ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
ver occur to you why some of us can
be this much concerned with animals
suffering? Because government is not.
Why not? Animals don't vote.
Paul Harvey,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
All beings tremble before violence.
All fear death, all love life. See
yourself in others. Then whom can
you hurt? What harm can you do?
Buddha
