What's Wrong With Wool? 🐏

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


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


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

Marlana Mazmanian McCliman



Men are the devils of the earth,
and the animals are its tormented souls.

Arthur Schopenhaur


If God condones what we do to animals
- then what does the Devil do?

Gary Yourofsky


Make a habit of two things: to help;
or at least to do no harm.

Hippocrates


Being vegan for me is about trying to live
a life where I'm not contributing to
the cruelty in the world.

Jessica Chastain


I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill,
and not to support any act of killing in the world.
We should consume in such a way that helps
to reduce the suffering of living beings.
And that way we can preserve
compassion in our hearts.

Thich Nhat Hanh



The world is not a factory and animals
are not products for our use.

Arthur Schopenhauer


Veganism isn't just about what's on your plate.
Compassion is a lifestyle.

🔪From Slaughter to Sanctuary ❤️

We are all better off in a sanctuary 
instead of in a slaughterhouse.

Gene Baur


Humanity's true moral test, its fundamental
test... consists of its attitude towards those
who are at its mercy: animals.

Milan Kundera


Be the one to break the chain
and bring the change.

Jyoti Chauhan


The line separating good and evil passes
not through states, nor between political
parties either - but right through
every human heart.

Alexandr Solzhenitsyn


Am I not destroying my enemies
when I make friends of them?

Abraham Lincoln



I greet you from the other side
of sorrow and despair,
with a love so vast and shattered
it will reach you everywhere.

Leonard Cohen


Would this habit of eating animals not require
that we slaughter animals that we knew
as individuals, and in whose eyes
we could gaze and see ourselves reflected,
only a few hours before our meal?

Socrates


Your legacy is every life you've ever touched.
Maya Angelou


The secret of change is to focus all of 
your energy, not on fighting the old,
but on building the new.

Socrates


There are two ways through life:
the way of Nature and the way of Grace.
You have to decide which one you'll follow.

Terrence Malick


Human beings are not machines,
and however powerful the pressure to conform,
they sometimes are so moved by what
they see as injustice that they dare
to declare their independence.
In that historical possibility lies hope.

Howard Zinn


By killing, man suppresses in himself,
unnecessarily, the highest spiritual capacity,
that of sympathy and pity towards living
creatures like himself, and by violating
his own feelings becomes cruel.

Leo Tolstoy


He who sows the seed of murder and pain
cannot reap joy and love.

Pythagoras


As long as man continues to be the ruthless
destroyer of other living beings he will never
know health or peace. For as long as men
massacre animals, they will kill each other.

Pythagoras


As long as people will shed the blood of innocent
creatures there can be no peace, no liberty,
no harmony between people.
Slaughter and justice cannot dwell together.

Isaac Bashevis Singer


For to be free is not merely to cast off
one's chains, but to live in a way
that respects and enhances
the freedom of others.

Nelson Mandela

Shame corrodes the very part of us
that believes we are capable of change.

craves is secrecy, silence and judgement...
Only when we are brave enough to explore
the darkness will we discover the infinite
power of our light.

Brené Brown

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.
