💞 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

This image was taken on a "kill line" inside

a slaughterhouse... My heart is

irreparably broken.

Sande Seldman Nosonowitz

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

Raise Your Standards

3. Support system.

You teach people how to treat you by what you

allow, what you stop and what you reinforce.

Tony Gaskins

I cannot control other people,

but I can control if they are in my life or not.

Mastin Kipp

We can't connect with someone unless we're

clear about where we end and they begin. 

If there's no autonomy between people,

then there's no compassion or empathy,

just enmeshment.

Brené Brown

The person you will be depends largely on

the information you feed your mind today.

Be picky about the books you read,

the people you spend your time with,

and the conversations you engage in.

Ruben Chavez

🐶 Why Love One But Kill and Eat the Other? 🐷

We send one species to the butcher and

give our love and kindness to another

apparently for no reason other than

because it's the way things are.

Melanie Joy

Jo Frederiks

Compassion towards animals is so natural to us,

that only through conditioning could we become

callous towards their suffering and death.

Leo Tolstoy

True compassion is not just an emotional

response but a firm commitment

founded on reason.

Dalai Lama

Animals are my friends...

and I don't eat my friends.

George Bernard Shaw

I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog - or a chicken

or a cow. And I wouldn't ask someone else

to hurt them for me.

Peter Dinklage

The soul is the same in all living creatures,

although the body of each is different.

Hippocrates

In every living being there is the desire for love.

D.H. Lawrence

Jo Frederiks

If you choose to eat animals…

 you love pets, not animals.

A man who lies to himself, and believes his own

lies becomes unable to recognize truth,

either in himself or in anyone else,

and he ends up losing respect

for himself and for others.

When he has no respect for anyone, he can

no longer love, and in order to divert himself,

having no love in him, he yields to impulses,

indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure.

And it all comes from lying -

lying to others and to yourself.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

My heart broke when I pictured my little dog

experiencing even a second of the pain and

fear that factory-farmed animals feel

their entire lives.

Nikki Glaser

The idea that some lives matter less is

the root of all that is wrong in the world.

Paul Farmer

Why should the law refuse its protection to any

sentient being? The time will come when

humanity will extend its mantle over

everyone who breathes.

Jeremy Bentham

Although I can't stop all cruelty to living

creatures on the planet, I can be kinder

to every living creature in my life.

River Phoenix

Love is life. All,

everything that I understand,

I understand only because I love.

Leo Tolstoy

The animal liberation movement is fighting

what is arguably the most entrenched

and widespread form of exploitation

in human history: speciesism.

Melanie Joy

Selective compassion is a deformity of the mind.

Mohanji

Human beings see oppression vividly

when they are the victims. Otherwise

they victimize blindly and without a thought.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility

to deal with all species with kindness, love and

compassion. What these animals suffer through

human cruelty is beyond understanding.

Please help to stop this madness.

Richard Gere

If you've ever loved a cat or a dog,

or even a human, I hope you'll extend

your compassion to include all animals.

Mike White

War on Women

Before you think good or evil, who are you?

Huineng

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 reasonable man adapts himself to the world;

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt

the world to himself. Therefore all progress

depends on the unreasonable man.

George Bernard Shaw

I sometimes try to imagine what would have

happened if we'd known the bonobo first

and the chimpanzee only later - or not at all.

The discussion about human evolution might not

revolve as much around violence, warfare and

male dominance, but rather around sexuality,

empathy, caring and cooperation.

Frans de Waal

The arc of the moral universe is long,

but it bends towards justice.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is impossible to think of the welfare of

the world unless the condition of women

is improved. It is not possible for a bird

to fly on only one wing.

Swami Vivekananda

The number of people with any criteria for

distinguishing between good and evil

is very small.

T.S. Eliot

One's life has value so long as one attributes

value to the life of others, by means of love,

friendship, indignation and compassion.

Simone de Beauvoir

I think there is a connection between the way

we treat animals and the way we treat people

who are at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Angela Davis

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 question is not whether we will be extremists,

but what kind of extremists we will be. For hate

or for love? For the preservation of injustice

or for the extension of justice?

Martin Luther King, Jr.

When I despair, I remember that all through

history the way of truth and love has always

won. There have been tyrants and murderers

and for a time they seem invincible, but in

the end they always fall... think of it, always.

Mahatma Gandhi

Open Your Eyes

Ignorance is not a simple lack of knowledge

but an active aversion to knowledge,

the refusal to know, issuing from cowardice,

pride or laziness of mind.

Karl Popper

Jo Frederiks

The meat industry spends hundreds of millions of

dollars lying to the public about their product.

But no amount of false propaganda can

sanitise meat. The facts are absolutely clear.

Eating animals is bad for human health,

catastrophic for the environment and

a living nightmare for animals.

Chrissie Hynde

Consciously or subconsciously, it is with

deliberation that we do not know or fail

to understand - because incomprehension

allows us, with good conscience, to evade

unpleasant responsibilites, because

ignorance is the best excuse for going on

doing what one likes, but ought not, to do.

Aldous Huxley

Most people are not seeking truth - they are

searching for comfort in illusions.

Friedrich Nietzsche

As with any violent ideology, the populace must

be shielded from direct exposure to the victims,

lest they begin questioning the system or their

participation in it. This truth speaks for itself:

why else would the meat industry go to such

lengths to keep its practices invisible?

Melanie Joy

We live in imaginary, virtual worlds created by

corporations that profit from our deception.

Chris Hedges

Truth has to be repeated constantly,

because Error also is being preached all the time,

and not just by a few, but by the multitude. In

the Press, Encyclopaedias, in Schools and

Universities, everywhere Error holds sway,

feeling happy and comfortable in

the knowledge of having Majority on its side.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Truth never damages a cause that is just.

Mahatma Gandhi

The truth is that people are brainwashed into

thinking that it's normal to consume animals.

They are so uncomfortable with confronting

what happens to those animals because

they are part and parcel of that cruelty.

Juliet Gellatley

Unless and until you are prepared to look

at the whole truth; and wherever it may go,

if you want to look the other way or

if you want to play favourites, then

somewhere along the line you're going to

find out that you're messing with divine justice.

Jordan Maxwell

COMFORTABLE LIES

Without ever committing an act of outright

evil ourselves, we collude with it

through our own apathy.

J.K. Rowling

What an amount of suffering the poor creatures

have to endure in order to give a few moments

of pleasure to men devoid of thought.

Albert Schweitzer

Jo Frederiks

If slaughterhouses had glass walls,

everyone would be vegetarian.

Paul McCartney

Think occasionally of the suffering of which

you spare yourself the sight.

Albert Schweitzer

To examine whether something is 'humane',

first determine if you whether you

would want it done to you.

Andrea Kladar

The horrifying things that are happening

to animals in order for you to keep

eating meat is inhuman.

Lewis Hamilton

I have seen firsthand how injustice

gets overlooked when the victims are

powerless or vulnerable, when they have

no one to speak up for them and no means of

representing themselves to a higher authority.

Animals are in precisely that position.

Unless we speak out on their behalf,

abuse and cruelty goes unchallenged.

Desmond Tutu

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Harold S. Kushner

Highway to Hell

Recognize meat for what it really is:

the antibiotic- and pesticide-laden

corpse of a tortured animal.

Ingrid Newkirk

When the suffering of another creature causes

you to feel pain, do not submit to the initial

desire to flee from the suffering one, but

on the contrary, come closer, as close

as you can to him who suffers,

and try to help.

Leo Tolstoy

No man chooses evil because it is evil;

he only mistakes it for happiness,

the good he seeks.

Mary Wollstonecraft

Transform Yourself 🦋

Before, my role model was the vision

of the woman I wanted to become.

Then I became that woman.

Diane von Fürstenberg

Act the way you'd like to be and soon

you'll be the way you act.

Leonard Cohen

To become the person you aspire to be,

develop the habits of that person.

Bille Cristiane Temanel

There is but one solution to the intricate riddle

of life; to improve ourselves, and contribute

to the happiness of others.

Mary Shelley

1. Prepare: Internal dialogue & mindset.

2. Plan: Set goals.

3. Purge: Internal & external.

4. Provide.

Change your opinions, keep to your principles;

change your leaves, keep intact to your roots.

Victor Hugo

Great things are not done by impulse, but

by a series of small things brought together.

Vincent Van Gogh

Learn from yesterday, live for today and hope

for tomorrow. The important thing is not

to stop questioning.

Albert Einstein

We change the world not by what we say or do

but as a consequence of what we have become.

Epictetus

A seed grows with no sound, but a tree falls

with a huge noise. Destruction has noise,

but creation is quiet.

Confucius

Ja visst gör det ont när knoppar brister.

Varför skulle annars våren tveka?

Varför skulle all vår heta längtan

bindas i det frusna bitterbleka?

Höljet var ju knoppen hela vintern.

Vad är det för nytt, som tär och spränger?

Ja visst gör det ont när knoppar brister,

ont för det som växer och det som stänger.

Ja nog är det svårt när droppar faller.

Skälvande av ängslan tungt de hänger,

klamrar sig vid kvisten, sväller, glider -

tyngden drar dem neråt, hur de klänger.

Svårt att vara oviss, rädd och delad,

svårt att känna djupet dra och kalla,

ändå sitta kvar och bara darra -

svårt att vilja stanna och vilja falla.

Då, när det är värt och inget hjälper,

briser som i jubel trädets knoppar.

Då, när ingen rädsla längre håller,

faller i ett glitter kvistens droppar,

glömmer att de ängslades för färden -

känner en sekund sin största trygghet,

vilar i den tillit som skapar världen.

Karin Boye

🔪From Slaughter to Sanctuary ❤️

We are all better off in a sanctuary 

instead of in a slaughterhouse.

Gene Baur

I expected to find monsters.

But I found something far more terrifying.

I found how easily humans can be

conditioned to do monstrous things.

Bobby Sud

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
