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
If God condones what we do to animals,
then what does the Devil do?
Gary Yourofsky
You either approve of violence or you don't,
and nothing on earth is more violent
or extreme than the meat industry.
Morrissey
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
Truly man is the king of beasts.
We live by the death of others.
We are burial places.
Leonardo da Vinci
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
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?
Gautama 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
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
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
