What's Wrong With Wool? 🐏

To be vegan is to disagree with cruelty.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

Jo Frederiks

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

Make ethical choices in what you buy, do and

watch. In a consumer-driven society our

individual choices, used collectively for

the good of animals, can change

the world faster than laws.

Marc Bekoff

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.

Khaled bin Alwaleed

What If... 👽

People say they love animals

and yet harm them nontheless;

I'm glad those people don't love me.

Marc Bekoff

Forgive him, for he believes that the customs

of his tribe are the laws of nature.

George Bernard Shaw

Many people have ideas on how others

should change; few people have ideas

on how they should change.

Leo Tolstoy

Cows scream louder than carrots.

Alan Watts

If you want to know where you would have

stood on slavery before the Civil War,

don't look at where you stand on slavery today.

Look at where you stand on animal rights.

Paul Watson

If you think being a quaker is easy,

you're not doing it right.

Benjamin Lay

I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals;

I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants.

A. Whitney Brown

The longer I live, the more convinced am I that

this planet is used by other planets

as a lunatic asylum.

George Bernard Shaw

If a group of beings from another planet were to

land on Earth - beings who considered themselves

as superior to you as you feel yourself to be

to other animals - would you concede them

the rights over you that you assume

over other animals?

George Bernard Shaw

Jo Frederiks

The basis of all animal rights should be

the Golden Rule: we should treat them

as we would wish them to treat us, were

any other species in our dominant position.

Christine Stevens

🥩Meat is Murder 🐑🐖🐄🐓

From beasts we scorn as soulless,

In forest, field and den,

The cry goes up to witness,

The soullessness of men.

M. Frida Hartley

Flesh eating is unprovoked murder.

Benjamin Franklin

Jo Frederiks

The butcher with his bloody apron incites

bloodshed, murder... From cutting the throat

of a young calf to cutting the throats of

our brothers and sisters is but a step.

While we ourselves are living

graves of murdered animals...

Isadora Duncan

You either approve of violence or you don't,

and nothing on Earth is more violent

or extreme than the meat industry.

Morrissey

Feeling comfortable?

Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty

for what it is - whether its victim is human

or animal - we cannot expect things

to be much better in this world.

Rachel Carson

Cruelty to animals is as if man did not love

God... there is something so satanic in

tormenting those who have never harmed us,

and who cannot defend themselves,

who are utterly in our power.

John Henry Newman

Jo Frederiks

However scrupulously the slaughterhouse is

concealed in the graceful distance of miles,

there is complicity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Truly man is the king of beasts.

We live by the death of others.

We are burial places.

Leonardo da Vinci

Jo Frederiks

All beings tremble before violence.

All fear death, all love life.

See yourself in others.

Then whom can you hurt?

What harm can you do?

Buddha

If you don't like seeing pictures of violence

towards animals being posted,

you need to help stop the violence,

not the pictures.

Marie Sarantakis

Jo Frederiks

Ruthless man... You turn against the dead flesh,

it revolts you, it must be transformed by fire,

boiled and roasted, seasoned and disguised with

drugs; you must have butchers, cooks, turnspits,

men who will rid the murder if its horrors,

who will dress the dead bodies so that the taste

deceived by these disguises will not reject what

is strange to it, and will feast on corpses,

the very sight of which would sicken you.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Indifference is the acid of life.

It erodes all the spirit that's in us

and makes us useless to anyone else.

Joan D. Chittister

The scariest thing about hearing the slaughter

is the silence that comes afterwards...

because you know there was a life...

and now there isn't.

Tal Gilboa

Mad Men

I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool

themselves. They didn't bother to find out who

or what I was. Instead they would invent

a character for me. I wouldn't argue

with them. They were obviously

loving somebody I wasn't.

Marilyn Monroe

The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die.

Friedrich Nietzsche

When a person can't find a deep sense

of meaning, they distract themselves

with pleasures.

Victor Frankl

People had a habit of looking at me as if I were

some kind of mirror instead of a person.

They didn't see me, they saw their own lewd

thoughts, then they white-masked themselves

by calling me the lewd one.

Marilyn Monroe

Everything that irritates us about others

can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

Carl Jung

Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead

where there is no path and leave a trail.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

What separates the talented individual from

the successful one is a lot of hard work.

Stephen King

Man will always be attracted to the woman

who reflects his deepest vision of himself,

the woman whose surrender permits him

to experience a sense of self-esteem.

Ayn Rand

Change is the only constant in life.

Ones ability to adapt to those changes

will determine your success in life.

Benjamin Franklin
