💞 Holy Cow 🐄

Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing

creatures; none show more passionate tenderness

to their young when deprived of them; and,

in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep

love for these quiet creatures.

Thomas de Quincey

We know things about her that no one should

ever know, or want to know, about a fellow

being... the taste, texture and flavor of every

aspect of her despair, degradation and defeat.

We know every detail of what we have forced

her to be - an object to consume and excrete.

What we don't know, what we don't want to

know, is what we must know if we are

to restore our own humanity: who she is.

Joanna Lucas

 If we could live happy and healthy lives

without harming others,

why wouldn't we?

Pam Ahern

Animals are my friends...

and I don't eat my friends.

George Bernard Shaw

What we call love is in its essence

reverence for life.

Albert Schweitzer

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

To know even one life has breathed easier

because you have lived. This is

to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Animals have personalities like people.

Walt Disney

In every living being there is the desire for love.

D.H. Lawrence

A mother's love does not derive from

the intellect but from the emotions,

in animals just as in humans.

Maimonides

Now I can look at you in peace;

I don't eat you anymore.

Franz Kafka
