🥩Meat is Murder 🐑🐖🐄🐓

From beasts we scorn as soulless,

In forest, field and den,

The cry goes up to witness,

The soullessness of men.

M. Frida Hartley

Flesh eating is unprovoked murder.

Benjamin Franklin

Jo Frederiks

The butcher with his bloody apron incites

bloodshed, murder... From cutting the throat

of a young calf to cutting the throats of

our brothers and sisters is but a step.

While we ourselves are living

graves of murdered animals...

Isadora Duncan

You either approve of violence or you don't,

and nothing on Earth is more violent

or extreme than the meat industry.

Morrissey

Feeling comfortable?

Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty

for what it is - whether its victim is human

or animal - we cannot expect things

to be much better in this world.

Rachel Carson

Cruelty to animals is as if man did not love

God... there is something so satanic in

tormenting those who have never harmed us,

and who cannot defend themselves,

who are utterly in our power.

John Henry Newman

Jo Frederiks

However scrupulously the slaughterhouse is

concealed in the graceful distance of miles,

there is complicity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Truly man is the king of beasts.

We live by the death of others.

We are burial places.

Leonardo da Vinci

Jo Frederiks

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

If you don't like seeing pictures of violence

towards animals being posted,

you need to help stop the violence,

not the pictures.

Marie Sarantakis

Jo Frederiks

Ruthless man... You turn against the dead flesh,

it revolts you, it must be transformed by fire,

boiled and roasted, seasoned and disguised with

drugs; you must have butchers, cooks, turnspits,

men who will rid the murder if its horrors,

who will dress the dead bodies so that the taste

deceived by these disguises will not reject what

is strange to it, and will feast on corpses,

the very sight of which would sicken you.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Indifference is the acid of life.

It erodes all the spirit that's in us

and makes us useless to anyone else.

Joan D. Chittister

The scariest thing about hearing the slaughter

is the silence that comes afterwards...

because you know there was a life...

and now there isn't.

Tal Gilboa

💗Chicken 🐥 Love 🐔🐓

Respect life and life will respect you.

Love life and love will shower blessings on you.

Rajneesh

Animals are my friends...

and I don't eat my friends.

George Bernard Shaw

Jo Frederiks

I did not become a vegan for my health,

I did it for the health of the chickens.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

The story of the chicken is the saddest story

ever told, and we are its authors.

T.B.A

The beauty you see in me

is a reflection of you.

Rumi

Our prime purpose in this life is to help

others. And if you can't help them,

at least don't hurt them.

Dalai Lama

Love is the beauty of the soul.

Saint Augustine

The soul is the same in all living creatures,

although the body of each is different.

Hippocrates

I believe that the reason of life

is for each of us simply to grow in love.

Leo Tolstoy

Think occasionally of the suffering of which

you spare yourself the sight.

Albert Schweitzer

Now I can look at you in peace;

I don't eat you anymore.

Franz Kafka

Just how destructive does a culinary preference

have to be before we decide to eat something else?

If contributing to the suffering of billions of

animals that live miserable lives and, quite often,

die in horrific ways isn't motivating,

what would be?

Jonathan Safran Foer

Being healthy doesn't need to be expensive,

and with plant-based alternatives you can have

the same taste and texture as real chicken,

without the harmful effects to our body,

the environment and chickens.

Cameron Newton

Why are you so afraid of change? Nothing

in this world can be without change. Only

one rule is constant: do not do anything

inhumane to others.

Marcus Aurelius

Every time you spend money, you're casting

a vote for the kind of world you want.

Anna Lappé

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress

can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

Mahatma Gandhi

The greater your capacity for love,

the more beauty you find in the world.

Jane Smiley

In every living being there is the desire for love.

D.H. Lawrence

What we call love is in its essence

reverence for life.

Albert Schweitzer

I greet you from the other side of sorrow

and despair, with a love so vast and

shattered it will reach you everywhere.

Leonard Cohen
