“Eating meat destroys the attitude of great compassion.”
Buddha
“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
“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
“Some people believe that animals are lesser beings. I believe they are higher beings as they freely give unconditional love.”
Christine Klaass Smith
“I refuse to eat anything that has suffered because I want to eat it!”
“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
