We're at war with nature.

If we win, we're lost.

Hubert Reeves

Eating animals has brought us to our knees

as a species. I think it's time to re-examine

our world in a way that doesn't abuse

other species.

Brian May

The concept of factory farming is one 

of our biggest failures as a species.

Khaled bin Alwaleed

Jo Frederiks

The fate of animals is more important to me

than the fear of appearing ridiculous; it is

indissolubly connected with the fate of men.

Émile Zola

Our fate is inextricably linked to the health and

resilience of the Earth and our fellow earthlings,

and when these are harmed and made to suffer,

so are we.

Gene Baur

The New Swiss Army Knife of the Future

In our hands now lies not only our own future,

but that of all other living creatures

with whom we share the Earth.

David Attenborough

The whole creation groans under the weight

of the evil we humans visit upon these

powerless creatures.

Tom Regan

We are the collateral damage of carnism;

we pay for it with our health,

our environment and our taxes.

Melanie Joy

Reality cannot be ignored except at a price;

and the longer the ignorance is persisted in,

the higher and more terrible becomes

the price that must be paid.

Aldous Huxley

Nothing will benefit human health and

increase the chances for survival of life on Earth

as much as the evolution to a vegan diet.

If the whole world adopts veganism,

it can change the destiny of humankind.

Albert Einstein

We are, quite literally, gambling with the future

of our planet - for the sake of hamburgers.

Peter Singer

Veganism is the 'single biggest way' to reduce

your environmental impact on the planet.

Joseph Poore

The Elephant in the Room

Man can no longer live for himself alone.

We must realize that all life is valuable

and that we are united to all life.

Albert Schweitzer

Every time you spend money you're casting

a vote for the kind of world you want.

Anna Lappé

Palm Oil and Pollution

Do your little bit of good where you are;

it's those little bits of good put together

that overwhelm the world.

Desmond Tutu

We are all victims of the violence that animals

suffer... their liberation is also our liberation.

George Bernard Shaw

Jo Frederiks

Ironically, people will do anything to protect

their children, except protect the planet.

Khaled Bin Alwaleed

We are made wise not by the recollection

of our past, but by the responsibility

for our future.

George Bernard Shaw

Jo Frederiks

I think that the Earth's immune system is trying

to get rid of us, as well it should.

Kurt Vonnegut

The destiny of animals cannot be separated

from the destiny of man, and the destiny

of man cannot be separated from

the destiny of all of nature.

Gregory Colbert

What will save us is not technology or science.

What will save us is the ethical

transformation of our society.

Carmelite Father Eduardo Agosta Scarel

How we treat animals is powerfully connected

to our relationship with the world itself.

Nathalie Portman

In the Belly of the Beast

While we ourselves are the living graves

of murdered animals, how can we expect

any ideal living conditions on this Earth?

George Bernard Shaw

Right to Rescue

Never, never be afraid to do what's right,

especially if the well-being of a person

or animal is at stake. Society's punishments

are small compared to the wounds we inflict

on our soul when we look the other way.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Jo Frederiks

Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur

in laboratories and are called medical research.

George Bernard Shaw

I abhor vivisection with my whole soul. All

the scientific discoveries stained with innocent

blood I count as of no consequence.

Mahatma Gandhi

What I think about vivisection is that if people

admit that they have the right to take the life

of living beings for the benefit of many,

there will be no limit to their cruelty.

Leo Tolstoy

Run to the rescue with love and peace will follow.

River Phoenix

Vivisection is a social evil because if it

advances human knowledge, it does so

at the expense of human character.

George Bernard Shaw

Whether we exploit animals to eat, wear, to

entertain us, or to learn, the truth of animal

rights requires empty cages, not larger cages.

Tom Regan

The greatest danger to a society is not rebellion,

but the gradual acceptance of injustice.

Gustave Le Bone

One has a moral responsibility

to disobey unjust laws.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

An unjust law is itself a species of violence.

Arrest for its breach is more so.

Mahatma Gandhi

The problem is that humans have

victimized animals to such a degree

that they are not even considered victims.

They are not considered at all.

Gary Yourofsky

The assumption that animals are without

rights and the illusion that our treatment

of them has no moral significance is a

positively outrageous example of human

crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion

is the only guarantee of morality.

Arthur Schopenhauer

If possessing a higher degree of intelligence

does not entitle one human to use another

for his or her own ends, how can it entitle

humans to exploit non-humans?

Peter Singer

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt

the world to himself. Therefore all progress

depends on the unreasonable man.

George Bernard Shaw

Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.

Benjamin Franklin

The day may come when the rest of the animal

creation acquire those rights which never

could have been withholden from them

but by the hand of tyranny.

Jeremy Bentham

A basic fact about nonviolent resistence is

that it is based on the conviction that

the universe is on the side of justice.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

There can be no doubt as to which side is right

and which side is wrong, for compassionate

defense of life is a force of good and sadistic

mass destruction of life is a force for evil.

Paul Watson

The arc of the moral universe is long,

but it bends towards justice.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

To know even one life has breathed easier

because you have lived. This is

to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If saving a life can make you a criminal,

something is deeply broken.

Joaquin Phoenix

Those who won't hesitate to vivisect,

won't hesitate to lie about it as well.

George Bernard Shaw

Vivisection is a crime.

Victor Hugo

We are here, not because we are law-breakers;

we are here in our efforts to become

lawmakers.

Emmeline Pankhurst

Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.

Ronald Reagan

Why should the law refuse its protection to any

sensitive being? The time will come when

humanity will extend its mantle

over everyone who breathes.

Jeremy Bentham

We are all victims of the violence that animals

suffer... their liberation is also our liberation.

George Bernard Shaw

There is no fundamental difference between man

and animals in their ability to feel pleasure

and pain, happiness and misery.

Charles Darwin
