"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." ~ Albert Einstein "A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral" ~ Leo Tolstoy “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” ~ Leo Tolstoy "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 "It is imperative to educate people that there is no moral difference between meat and dairy. There is as much suffering in a glass of milk than in a pound of steak. Indeed, given that animals exploited for dairy live longer, are treated worse, and end up in the same slaughterhouse as do "meat" animals, we can say with some confidence that there is probably more suffering involved in dairy products." ~ Gary L. Francione "If beef is your idea of 'real food for real people,' youd better live real close to a real good hospital." ~ Neal Barnard, MD "The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men." ~ Alice Walker "I just could not stand the idea of eating meat - I really do think that it has made me calmer.... People's general awareness is getting much better, even down to buying a pint of milk: the fact that the calves are actually killed so that the milk doesn't go to them but to us cannot really be right, and if you have seen a cow in a state of extreme distress because it cannot understand why its calf isn't by, it can make you think a lot." ~ Kate Bush "The human body has no more need for cows' milk than it does for dogs' milk, horses' milk, or giraffes' milk." ~ Michael Klaper "In fact, if one person is unkind to an animal it is considered to be cruelty, but where a lot of people are unkind to animals, especially in the name of commerce, the cruelty is condoned and, once large sums of money are at stake, will be defended to the last by otherwise intelligent people." ~ Ruth Harrison |
