Land of Ahimsa

All living beings have the spark of the divine

energy; therefore, to hurt another being

is to hurt oneself.

To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less

precious than that of a human being.

Mahatma Gandhi

Non-violence is not a garment to be put on

and off at will. Its seat is in the heart,

and it must be an inseparable part

of our being.

Mahatma Gandhi

It ill becomes us to invoke in our daily prayers

the blessings of God, the Compassionate,

creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants.

Animals cannot speak but, but can you and  I

not speak for them and represent them?

but it bends towards justice.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

As long as man continues to be the ruthless

know health or peace. For as long as men

massacre animals, they will kill each other.

and pain cannot reap joy and love.

Anytime it comes to any kind of animal cruelty,

I'm totally against it.
