🦊 Cruelty-Free Shopping πŸ‡

If one person is unkind to an animal
it is considered to be cruelty,
but if a lot of people are unkind to animals
(especially in the name of profit)
the cruelty is condoned and will be defended
by otherwise intelligent people.

Ruth Harrison


Behind every fur, there is a story.
It is a bloody, barbaric story.

Mary Tyler Moore


There is no kind way to rip the skin of animal's
backs. Anyone who wears any fur shares
the blame for the torture and gruesome deaths
of millions of animals each year.

Natalie Imbruglia



To be vegan is to disagree with cruelty.
Isaac Bashevis Singer

Jo Frederiks


Wearing cosmetics that were tested on

Jessica Chastain

They are already there.

Kill To Dress

People speak sometimes about the "bestial"
cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust
and offensive to beasts, no animal could
ever be so cruel as man, so artfully, so
artistically cruel.

Fyodor Dostoevsky




Veganism is not a diet.
It is a rejection of violence.

Marlana Mazmanian McCliman

are not products for our use.

🍴 All Life is Connected 🌍

We're at war with nature.
If we win, we're lost.

Eating animals has brought us to our knees
as a species. I think it's time to re-examine
our world in a way that doesn't abuse
other species.

Brian May


The concept of factory farming is one 
of our biggest failures as a species.

Khaled bin Alwaleed

Jo Frederiks

The fate of animals is more important to me
than the fear of appearing ridiculous; it is
indissolubly connected with the fate of men.

Γ‰mile Zola


Our fate is inextricably linked to the health and
resilience of the earth and our fellow earthlings,
and when these are harmed and made to suffer,
so are we.

Gene Baur

The New Swiss Army Knife of the Future

In our hands now lies not only our own future,
but that of all other living creatures
with whom we share the earth.

David Attenborough



The whole creation groans under the weight
of the evil we humans visit upon these
powerless creatures.

Tom Regan


We are the collateral damage of carnism;
we pay for it with our health,
our environment and our taxes.

Melanie Joy

In the Belly of the Beast

While we ourselves are the living graves
of murdered animals, how can we expect
any ideal living conditions on this Earth?

George Bernard Shaw


Reality cannot be ignored except at a price;
and the longer the ignorance is persisted in,
the higher and more terrible becomes
the price that must be paid.

Aldous Huxley


Nothing will benefit human health and
increase the chances for survival of life on Earth
as much as the evolution to a vegan diet.
If the whole world adopts veganism,
it can change the destiny of humankind.

Albert Einstein


We are, quite literally, gambling with the future
of our planet - for the sake of hamburgers.

your environmental impact on the planet.

We must realize that all life is valuable
and that we are united to all life.

Albert Schweitzer

I think that the Earth's immune system is trying
to get rid of us, as well it should.

Kurt Vonnegut


Ironically, people will do anything to protect
their children, except protect the planet.

Khaled Bin Alwaleed


We are all victims of the violence that animals
suffer... their liberation is also our liberation.

We are made wise not by the recollection
of our past, but by the responsibility
for our future.

George Bernard Shaw


How we treat animals are powerfully connected
to our relationship with the world itself.

Nathalie Portman

The Story of the Thanksgiving Turkey

Don't talk of love and peace when
you have a dead animal on your plate.

Socrates


People who say they love animals sit down
to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been
utterly deprived of everything that could make
their lives worth living and who endured
the awful suffering and the terror
of the abattoirs.

Jane Goodall


Mend the part of the world
that is within your reach.

Clarissa Pinkola EstΓ©s


Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thankless
Christmas dinner's dark and blue
When you stop and try to see it
From the turkey's point of view
Sunday dinner isn't sunny
Easter feasts are just bad luck
When you see it from the view point
of a chicken or a duck
Oh how I once loved tuna salad
Pork and lobsters, lamb chops too
Till I stopped and looked at dinner
From the dinner's point of view

Shel Silverstein


Every culture has something to be ashamed of,
but every culture also has the right to change,
to challenge negative traditions,
and to create new ones.

Azar Nafisi


Where there is love there is life.
Mahatma Gandhi

Sensuality

To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice
in the force of life itself and to be present in
all that one does, from the effort of loving
to the breaking of bread.

James Baldwin


Body language is more powerful than words.
Ricky Gervais


The femme fatale expresses woman's ancient
and eternal control of the sexual realm.
The specter of the femme fatale stalks
all of men's relationships with women.

Camille Paglia


Tell me what you love,
and I will tell you who you are.

a thirst for otherness.

Voltaire


Too much circulation makes the price go down.

you'll be the way you act.

and every sinner has a future.

Oscar Wilde


To play a wrong note is insignificant.
To play without passion is inexcusable.

Ludwig van Beethoven


People should be more like animals... they
should be more intuitive; they should not
be too conscious of what they do
while they do it.

Albert Einstein


You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world,
and there's still going to be somebody
who hates peaches.

Femininity at Work

all you do, and success will follow.

Epictetus

can see you. Climb mountains so
that you can see the world.

David McCullough Jr.


Don't pray for lighter burdens,

as possible to as many people as possible.

No matter how isolated you are and how
lonely you feel, if you do your work truly
and conscientiously, unknown friends
will come and seek you.

Carl Jung


No one can ride on the back
of a man unless it is bent.

Mahatma Gandhi


Criticism fulfils the same function as pain
in the human body. It calls attention to
an unhealthy state of things.

Winston Churchill


A day of worry is more exhausting
than a week of work.

John Lubbock


Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,
and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do
what you believe is great work. And
the only way to do great work
is to love what you do.

Steve Jobs


My hunger is not for success,
it is for excellence.

Mike Krzyzewski


The worst thing that we can do as women
is not stand up for each other, and this is
something we can practice every day,
no matter where we are and what we do
women sticking up for other women,
choosing to protect and celebrate each other
instead of competing or critizing each other.

Amal Clooney

The Best Arguments Against Veganism

To find yourself, think for yourself.
Socrates


Evil comes from a failure to think.
It defies thought for as soon as thought
tries to engage itself with evil
and examine the premises and principles
from which it originates,
it is frustrated because it finds nothing there.
That is the banality of evil.

Hannah Arendt


I try to encourage people to think for themselves,
to question standard assumptions... Don't take
assumptions for granted. Begin by taking a
skeptical attitude toward anything that is
conventional wisdom. Make it justify itself.
Be willing to ask questions about what
is taken for granted. Try to think
things through for yourself.

Noam Chomsky


It is impossible for a man to learn
what he thinks he already knows.

Epictetus


Many are destined  to reason wrongly; others,
not to reason at all; and others to persecute
those who do reason.

Voltaire


Those who will not reason, are bigots,
those who cannot, are fools,
and those who dare not, are slaves.

Lord Byron


The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die.
As well the minds which are prevented from
changing their opinions; they cease to be mind.

Friedrich Nietzsche


You were not made to live as brutes,
but to follow virtue and knowledge.

Dante Alighieri


Let me give you a definition of ethics:
it is good to maintain and further life
it is bad to damage and destroy life.

Albert Schweitzer


Two percent of the people think.
Three percent of the people think they think.
And ninty-five percent of the people
would rather die than think.

George Bernard Shaw


Euphemism is a human device to conceal
the horrors of reality.

Paul Johnson


Don't worry about siding for or against
the majority. Worry about taking up
any of their irrational beliefs.

Marcus Aurelius


It is difficult to get a man to understand
something when his salary depends on
his not understanding it.

Upton Sinclair


All the arguments to prove man's superiority
cannot shatter this hard fact:
in suffering the animals are our equals.

Peter Singer


The roots of education are bitter,
but the fruit is sweet.

Aristotle


Ultimately evil is done not so much by evil
people, but by good people who do not
know themselves and who do not
probe deeply.

Reinhold Niebuhr


The indifference, callousness and contempt
that so many people exhibit toward animals
is evil first because it results in great suffering
in animals, and second because it results in
an incalculably great impoverishment
of the human spirit.

Albert Einstein


Progress is impossible without change,
and those who cannot change their minds
cannot change anything.

George Bernard Shaw


The worst sin towards our fellow creatures
is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them:
that's the essence of inhumanity.

George Bernard Shaw
