What If... 👽

People say they love animals

and yet harm them nontheless;

I'm glad those people don't love me.

Marc Bekoff

Forgive him, for he believes that the customs

of his tribe are the laws of nature.

George Bernard Shaw

should change; few people have ideas

on how they should change.

Leo Tolstoy

Cows scream louder than carrots.

Alan Watts

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

If you think being a quaker is easy,

you're not doing it right.

Benjamin Lay

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted

to a profoundly sick society.

Krishnamurti

The longer I live, the more convinced am I that

this planet is used by other planets

as a lunatic asylum.

George Bernard Shaw

If a group of beings from another planet were to

land on Earth - beings who considered themselves

as superior to you as you feel yourself to be

to other animals - would you concede them

the rights over you that you assume

over other animals?

George Bernard Shaw

Jo Frederiks

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

🐶 Why Love One But Kill and Eat the Other? 🐷

We send one species to the butcher and

give our love and kindness to another

apparently for no reason other than

because it's the way things are.

Melanie Joy

Jo Frederiks

Compassion towards animals is so natural to us,

that only through conditioning could we become

callous towards their suffering and death.

Leo Tolstoy

The soul is the same in all living creatures,

although the body of each is different.

Hippocrates

True compassion is not just an emotional

response but a firm commitment

founded on reason.

Dalai Lama

Animals are my friends...

and I don't eat my friends.

George Bernard Shaw

I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog - or a chicken

or a cow. And I wouldn't ask someone else

to hurt them for me.

Peter Dinklage

If you've ever loved a cat or a dog,

or even a human, I hope you'll extend

your compassion to include all animals.

Mike White

The soul given to each of us is moved by

the same living spirit that moves the Universe.

Albert Einstein

The animal liberation movement is fighting

what is arguably the most entrenched

and widespread form of exploitation

in human history: speciesism.

Melanie Joy

In every living being there is the desire for love.

D.H. Lawrence

Jo Frederiks

If you choose to eat animals…

 you love pets, not animals.

A man who lies to himself, and believes his own

lies becomes unable to recognize truth,

either in himself or in anyone else,

and he ends up losing respect

for himself and for others.

When he has no respect for anyone, he can

no longer love, and in order to divert himself,

having no love in him, he yields to impulses,

indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure.

And it all comes from lying -

lying to others and to yourself.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Now I can look at you in peace;

I don't eat you anymore.

Franz Kafka

My heart broke when I pictured my little dog

experiencing even a second of the pain and

fear that factory-farmed animals feel

their entire lives.

Nikki Glaser

The idea that some lives matter less is

the root of all that is wrong in the world.

Paul Farmer

Why should the law refuse its protection to any

sentient being? The time will come when

humanity will extend its mantle over

everyone who breathes.

Jeremy Bentham

Although I can't stop all cruelty to living

creatures on the planet, I can be kinder

to every living creature in my life.

River Phoenix

Selective compassion is a deformity of the mind.

Mohanji

Love is life. All,

everything that I understand,

I understand only because I love.

Leo Tolstoy

Human beings see oppression vividly

when they are the victims. Otherwise

they victimize blindly and without a thought.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

Kindness and beneficence should be extended

to the creatures of every species.

Plutarch

As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility

to deal with all species with kindness, love and

compassion. What these animals suffer through

human cruelty is beyond understanding.

Please help to stop this madness.

Richard Gere
