Saving one animal won't change the world,

but it will change the world for that one animal.

You can tell a lot about people

by the way they treat their pets.

Frank Sonnenberg

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

It is more important to prevent suffering,

rather than sit to contemplate the evils

of the universe.

Buddha

Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies,

quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure

love and always have to mix love and hate.

Sigmund Freud

If we could live happy and healthy lives

without harming others, why wouldn't we?

Pam Ahern

Love all. Serve all. Help ever. Hurt never.

Sathya Sai Baba

Create all the happiness you are able to create;

remove all the misery you are able to remove.

Every day will allow you, will invite you to

add something to the pleasure of others,

or to diminish something of their pains.

Jeremy Bentham

I marvelled at how two souls - two completely

different species - could make each other

so happy. If you were kind to animals,

they repaid that kindness thousandfold.

People disappointed; animals never did.

Alan Brennert

When a man loves cats, I am his friend and

comrade without further introduction.

Mark Twain

The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.

Rumi

To know even one life has breathed easier

because you have lived. This is

to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We can judge the heart of a man

by his treatment of animals.

Immanuel Kant

The more I learn about people,

the more I like my dog.

Mark Twain

Dogs are our link to paradise.

Milan Kundera

 A woman is the full circle.

Within her is the power to create,

nurture and transform.

Diane Mariechild

There is no happiness like that of being loved

by your fellow-creatures, and feeling that

your presence is an addition to their comfort.

Charlotte Brontë

To heal is to touch with love that

which we previously touched with fear.

Stephen Levine

The heart of a good man is

the sanctuary of God in this world.

Suzanne Curchod

Until one has loved an animal a part

of one's soul remains unawakened.

Anatole France

The dog is between the child and the angel

in terms of mentality, heart and feeling.

Anthony of Curtis

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 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

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

I have seen firsthand how injustice

gets overlooked when the victims are

powerless or vulnerable, when they have

no one to speak up for them and no means of

representing themselves to a higher authority.

Animals are in precisely that position.

Unless we speak out on their behalf,

abuse and cruelty goes unchallenged.

Desmond Tutu

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

Vivisection is a crime.

Victor Hugo

We are all victims of the violence that animals

suffer... their liberation is also our liberation.

George Bernard Shaw

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

There is no fundamental difference between man

and animals in their ability to feel pleasure

and pain, happiness and misery.

Charles Darwin
