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.
Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur
in laboratories and are called medical research.
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
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.
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
Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.
Adam Smith
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
We are all victims of the violence that animals
suffer... their liberation is also our liberation.
Bernard Shaw
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
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
