🐶 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

Compassion towards animals is so natural to us,

that only through conditioning could we become

callous towards their suffering and death.

Leo Tolstoy

Selective compassion is a deformity of the mind.

Mohanji

Animals are my friends...

and I don't eat my friends.

Bernard Shaw

True compassion is not just an emotional

response but a firm commitment

founded on reason.

Dalai Lama

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

The soul is the same in all living creatures,

although the body of each is different.

Hippocrates

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

In every living being there is the desire for love.

D.H. Lawrence

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

Love is life. All, everything that I understand,

I understand only because I love.

Leo Tolstoy

The animal liberation movement is fighting

what is arguably the most entrenched

and widespread form of exploitation

in human history: speciesism.

Melanie Joy

The idea that some lives matter less is

the root of all that is wrong in the world.

Paul Farmer

Human beings see oppression vividly

when they are the victims. Otherwise

they victimize blindly and without a thought.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

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.
