The Invisible Animals in Our Lives

Every bit of meat, chicken or fish you eat,
every bit of leather or fur you wear,
has come from an animal that has
been tortured, pulled away from their
family and brutally killed.

Lewis Hamilton


From beasts we scorn as soulless,
in forest, field and den,
the cry goes up to witness,
the soullessness of men.

M. Frida Hartley


Could you look an animal in the eyes and say;
'my appetite is more important
than your suffering?'

Moby


Animals cannot speak but, but can you and  I
not speak for them and represent them?
Let us all feel their cry of agony and let us 
all help that cry to be heard in the world.

Rukmini Devi Arundale


You who feel no pain at the suffering of others,
it is not fitting for you to to be called a human.

Saadi


Think occasionally of the suffering
of which you spare yourself the sight.

Albert Schweitzer


Why are vegans made fun of while
the inhumane factory farming process
regards animals and the natural world merely
as commodities to be exploited for profit?

Ellen Page


The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's
indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy,
it's indifference. The opposite of life is not
death, it's indifference.

Elie Wiesel


Man is not what he thinks he is,
he is what he hides.

André Malraux


If people understood that for two minutes
of pleasure, there is a lifetime of suffering.

Khaled bin Alwaleed


When we look at the world through another
animal's eyes, we have to realise that,
inside we're all the same - and so we all
deserve to live free from suffering.

Joaquin Phoenix


Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.
Albert Schweitzer


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


My body will not be a tomb for other creatures.
Leonardo da Vinci
