“If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.”
Paul McCartney
“If we're not supposed to eat animals, how come they're made out of meat?”
Tom Snyder
“I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.”
A. Whitney Brown
“You take this meat eating. Many people have to kill the animals because of your non-vegetarianism. You are responsible for the death of those animals. They are killed because you eat them. This is a sin. What a sin to kill innocent animals and eat them.”
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
“What is it that should trace the insuperable line? ...The question is not, Can they reason? nor Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?”
Jeremy Bentham
“Not to hurt our humble brethren (the animals) is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission--to be of service to them whenever they require it... If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.”
Saint Francis of Assisi
“I have developed a deep respect for animals. I consider them fellow living creatures with certain rights that should not be violated any more than those of humans.”
Jimmy Stewart
