Animal Warriors

Suffering is suffering, murder is murder

and the more helpless the victim,

the more horrific the crime.

Damien Mander

I am not a trinket

The whole concept of hunting is a very alien one

to me and I cannot comprehend how any person

can derive enjoyment or pleasure from

the suffering of another creature.

Mark Owen

Hunting is a coward's pastime.

In a world of boundless opportunities

for amusement, it's detestable that anyone

would choose to get thrills from killing

others who ask for nothing from life

but the chance to remain alive.

Roger Moore

Anyone who can not go into nature and enjoy it

without killing, should not be allowed entrance.

Henrik Ibsen

Men hunt I think, maybe, because they

have something wrong with their own

equipment and they need something

else to shoot.

Pamela Anderson

My strength needs no victims.

My strength is my compassion.

Patrik Baboumian

Jo Frederiks

Besides love and sympathy, animals exhibit

other qualities connected with the social

instincts which in us would be called moral.

Charles Darwin

If people were superior to animals,

they would take good care of them.

Winnie the Pooh

In whom there is no sympathy for living beings:

know him as an outcast.

Buddha

Man's highest duty is to protect

animals from cruelty.

 

Émile Zola

We cannot have peace among men whose hearts

delight in killing any living creature. By every

act that glorifies or even tolerates such

moronic delight in killing, we set back

the progress of humanity.

Rachel Carson

At his best, man is the noblest of all animals;

separated from law and justice

he is the worst.

Aristotle

Animals in Entertainment

Man is the cruelest animal. At tragedies,

bullfights, and crucifixions he has

so far felt best on Earth; and

when he invented hell for himself,

behold, that was his very heaven.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Jo Frederiks

Tradition will accustom people to any atrocity.

George Bernard Shaw

God loved the birds and invented trees.

Man loved the birds and invented cages.

Jacques Deval

It's clear to anyone with a brain and an ounce

of compassion that marine parks are nothing

more than concrete prisons.

Roger Moore

A good heart will refuse the happiness

built on the misfortune of others.

Saadie

If you want to know where you would have

stood on slavery before the Civil War,

don't look at where you stand on slavery today.

Look at where you stand on animal rights.

Paul Watson

What an amount of suffering and cruel

punishment the poor creatures have to

endure in order to give a few moments

of pleasure to men devoid of thought.

Albert Schweitzer

We cannot have peace among men whose hearts

delight in killing any living creature. By every

act that glorifies or even tolerates such

moronic delight, we set back

the progress of humanity.

Rachel Carson

Once we accept this view of animals - as our

resources - the rest is as predictable

as it is regrettable.

Tom Reagan

We know we cannot be kind to animals

until we stop exploiting them -

exploiting animals in the name of science,

exploiting animals in the name of sport,

exploiting animals in the name of fashion,

and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food.

César Chávez
